enable/disable toolbar icons

Created: Nov 17, 2022 01:31 PM  |  Last Modified: Jun 9, 2023 9:02 AM (2457 views)

Toolbar icons appear gray if the window has the wrong type:

how can I control this behavior for my own toolbars?

If a Toolbar Icon is linked to a Built-In command, it automatically gets the enable/disable functionality related to the respective command.
... even if the user chooses his own icon:

The easiest way to get a "dynamic" Icon into a user-defined toolbar: 
Got to View/Cutomize/Menus and Toolbars, and rightClick copy the original function and paste it into the user-defined Toolbar.

 

To get such Shortcut Icons into user-defined Add-Ins, one has to follow these steps shared by @Jeff_Perkinson 

 

Alternatively, one can edit the addin.jmpcust file manually.
The syntax is type="builtin":

<jm:command>
 <jm:name>TEXT TO COLUMNS</jm:name>
  <jm:caption>Text to Columns…</jm:caption>
  <jm:action type="builtin">COLS:UTILITIES:TEXT TO COLUMNS</jm:action>
 </jm:command>
