Example 1

This example inserts a "Delete" large button after the "Add" large button in the "MyPanel" panel. Both buttons are bound with the "Ue_LargeButtonClicked" user event.

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_LargeButton, ll_Handle_LargeButton2

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst ("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst (ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_LargeButton = rbb_1.InsertLargeButtonFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Add", "AddBig!", "Ue_LargeButtonClicked")
ll_Handle_LargeButton2 = rbb_1.InsertLargeButton (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_LargeButton, "Delete", "DeleteBig!", "Ue_LargeButtonClicked")

//Ue_LargeButtonClicked user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle 
//of LargeButton where the mouse is clicking.
//event type long ue_largebuttonclicked(long itemhandle);
//RibbonLargeButtonItem lr_LargeButton
//rbb_1.GetLargeButton(ItemHandle,lr_LargeButton)
////...
//Return 1
//end event

Example 2

This example inserts a "Delete" large button after the "Add" large button in the "MyPanel" panel. It first defines a large button item with various properties (including Text, PictureName, Clicked, SSelected etc.) and then inserts it after the "Add' large button. The "Add" button is bound with the "Ue_LargeButtonClicked" user event, and the "Delete" button is bound with the "Ue_LargeButtonClicked" and "Ue_LargeButtonSelected" user events.

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_LargeButton, ll_Handle_LargeButton2
RibbonLargeButtonItem lr_LargeButton

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst ("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst (ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_LargeButton = rbb_1.InsertLargeButtonFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Add", "AddBig!", "Ue_LargeButtonClicked")
lr_LargeButton.Text = "Delete"
lr_LargeButton.PictureName = "DeleteBig!"
lr_LargeButton.Clicked = "Ue_LargeButtonClicked"
lr_LargeButton.Selected = "Ue_LargeButtonSelected"
ll_Handle_LargeButton2 = rbb_1.InsertLargeButton (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_LargeButton, lr_LargeButton)

//Ue_LargeButtonSelected user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle 
//of LargeButton where the mouse is hovering over.
//event type long ue_largebuttonselected(long itemhandle);
//RibbonLargeButtonItem lr_LargeButton
//rbb_1.GetLargeButton(ItemHandle,lr_LargeButton)
////...
//
//Return 1
//end event
