create a toolbar and icon |
|

1. How to create a toolbar and add an icon whenever autocad starts? And When I click on the icon I want to run my vba code. How do I do that?Can Any one help me?
2. I created a toolbar and add icons. once I close and open autocad I'm getting smiling faces instead of icons.What should I do to avoid that ?

1. Look at custom_menu.dvb located under [install]\VBA\VBAIDEMenu
2. Make sure the icons are located within AutoCAD's support file path
and/or code the entire path name to the icons. Additonally, you can create
a resource dll to stre/retrieve the icons.

Thanks for your reply.
Can you explain more clearly about a resource dll. I dont have any idea about a resource dll.
Actually I want to create a toolbar in a remote system. So when I run my exe (setup file), I'm loading (coping) all my files into a new folder. When I run Autocad it is searching in support folder and icons are not coming. Can you please advice me

A resource file contains things like icons, bitmaps, and dialogs that are
used elsewhere in your exe. There is a vb add-in called VB6 Resource Editor
to allow you to work with this kind of file. VB comes with a command line
tool calle rc.exe (resource compiler) for creating it. With this file, you
wouldn't need to install a bunch of bitmaps, just one dll.
The other problem you are having, is it seems that you havn't told acad
where to search for your icons. You can manually do this from Options>Files
tab>Support File Search Path and adding your folder to the list. During your
setup, you can programatically alter
AcadApplication.Preferences.Files.SupportPath.
