Hi,
based on this discussion how ribbon search tool works with custom ribbon item or whether it's bug.
Scenario / conditions:
- There is workflow with visibility condition defined, e.g. to evaluate whether MDL application is loaded, a design file is dnglib etc.
- There are buttons in the ribbon with own visiblity conditions like a selection set is active etc.
I have had not enough time for detail and extensive testing, but so far I experienced 3 different scanarios:
- Delivered Admin workflow: Displayed when dgnlib file is opened. Tools from this workflow are displayed in search results only when the workflow can be selected. When normal design file is opened, the tools are not included in the search. This is how I expect MicroStation should work.
- Custom workflow in dgnlib: Buttons are not included in the search, even when the workflow is displayed. In some situations it seems only buttons with conditions are not included and others not.
- Custom workflow in XML: Opposite behaviour, the tools are always included in the search results, even when the workflow is not available.
- Custom workflow compiled to rsc file: Not tested.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the behaviour seems to be not consistent.
With regards,
Jan
