Hello

I’m developing in RobotStudio using C# .I add a “AutoPath” button in my toolwindow,I want the function of the button is same to AutoPath Button in the Home(Tabs)\_Path Programmming(Groups).First I try to find the id of the button in the RobotStudio API Reference ,but I cann’t find it.

Does anyone have an idea how i make my “AutoPath” button have the same function.

Below is an example of my addin written in C#,to attempt to simulate clicking the “AutoPath” button,but it not work.

Unfortunately,when I click the "AutoPath"button in "Home"Tab,the button losed efficacy that Pop-up "AutoPath"dialog box. Does the software have a bug?

[code]private void AutoPath\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{

CommandBarButton.FromID(“AutoPath”).Execute();  
}[code]

Another question,Have anyone show me that where can I get the “RobotStudioIDSummary.html”.

Hi somenasty,

我不知道你具体要用RAPID（Tabs）下面的什么功能。

你可以参考一下下面的代码。如果你要实现这个功能，可以找到它的IDs，然后用formIDmethods,但是不是所有的button都有相应的IDs，我也没有找到这些button的IDs。

[code]

CommandBarControl commandBarControl = UIEnvironment.RibbonTabs[“RAPID”].Groups[“Controller”].Controls[“RapidApplyMenu”];

if (commandBarControl != null)  
{  
((CommandBarPopup)commandBarControl).ClickButton.ExecuteCommand += ClickButton\_ExecuteCommand;  
((CommandBarButton)((CommandBarPopup)commandBarControl).Controls[“RapidApplyAll”]).ExecuteCommand += ClickButton\_ExecuteCommand;  
((CommandBarButton)((CommandBarPopup)commandBarControl).Controls[“RapidModuleApply”]).ExecuteCommand += ClickButton\_ExecuteCommand;

}  
Logger.AddMessage(new LogMessage(“ONload”));

[code]

Regards,  
zhang

Hello,  
@zhang: did you get your code for Apply button working with SmartComponent?  
I can’t.  
I code the same for mine ([https://github.com/DenisFR/RSDrawGraphics](https://github.com/DenisFR/RSDrawGraphics)) but this doesn’t works.  
[\RSDrawGraphics\RSDrawGraphics.cs:234](https://github.com/DenisFR/RSDrawGraphics/blob/master/RSDrawGraphics/RSDrawGraphics.cs#L234)

Yes, maybe @Henrik_Berlin can answer me?
