Example 1

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

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_SmallButton, ll_Handle_SmallButton2

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst ("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst (ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_SmallButton = rbb_1.InsertSmallButtonFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Add", "AddSmall!", "Ue_SmallButtonClicked")
ll_Handle_SmallButton2 = rbb_1.InsertSmallButton (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_SmallButton, "Delete", "DeleteSmall!", "Ue_SmallButtonClicked")

//Ue_SmallButtonClicked user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle 
//of SmallButton where the mouse is clicking. Refer to the Clicked property of RibbonSmallButtonItem.
//event type long ue_smallbuttonclicked(long itemhandle);
//RibbonSmallButtonItem lr_SmallButton
//rbb_1.GetSmallButton(ItemHandle,lr_SmallButton)
////...
//
//Return 1
//end event

Example 2

This example inserts a "Delete" small button after the "Add" small button in the "MyPanel" panel and binds the "Delete" button with the "Ue_SmallButtonClicked" and "Ue_SmallButtonSelected" user events. It first defines a small button item with various properties (including Text, PictureName, Clicked, Selected etc.) and then inserts it after the "Add' small button.

Long ll_Handle_Category, ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_SmallButton, ll_Handle_SmallButton2
RibbonSmallButtonItem lr_SmallButton

ll_Handle_Category = rbb_1.InsertCategoryFirst("MyCategory")
ll_Handle_Panel = rbb_1.InsertPanelFirst(ll_Handle_Category, "MyPanel", "AddSmall!")
ll_Handle_SmallButton = rbb_1.InsertSmallButtonFirst (ll_Handle_Panel, "Add", "AddSmall!", "Ue_SmallButtonClicked")
lr_SmallButton.Text = "Delete"
lr_SmallButton.PictureName = "DeleteSmall!"
lr_SmallButton.Clicked = "Ue_SmallButtonClicked"
lr_SmallButton.Selected = "Ue_SmallButtonSelected"
ll_Handle_SmallButton2 = rbb_1.InsertSmallButton (ll_Handle_Panel, ll_Handle_SmallButton, lr_SmallButton)

//Ue_SmallButtonSelected user event must have a long parameter for receiving the handle 
//of SmallButton where the mouse is hovering over. Refer to the Selected property of RibbonSmallButtonItem.
//event type long ue_smallbuttonselected(long itemhandle);
//RibbonSmallButtonItem lr_SmallButton
//rbb_1.GetSmallButton(ItemHandle,lr_SmallButton)
////...
//
//Return 1
//end event
