Hi Morten,
There is some basic tool bar information available in this help topic. Tool bars, macros, menus and such are defined and saved in a Rhino RUI file, the following is a description of the different RUI sections and what they represent:
Macros
Macros contain executable script and visual style information. Following are some of the macro properties:
- Script
- Bitmap Id (used when referenced by a menu or tool bar item)
- Menu text
- Tool bar button text
Bitmaps
- Small (menu)
- Normal (default toolbar button size)
- Large (used for high DPI settings)
Tool bars
A tool bar is visually represented as a tab that may appear in one or more tool bar groups. A tool bar definition contains:
- A name or title that appears as tab text.
- Bitmap which may appear next to or instead of the tab text.
- A collection of tool bar items which contain left and right macro macro Id’s.
Tool bar group
A tool bar group is a collection of tabs gathered in a container that may be either docked or floating. A tool bar group definition contains:
- Name which appears at the top of the floating container when a group is floating and not docked.
- Some style options regarding how to display the tabs which can contain text, a bitmap or both.
- Ordered list of tool bar group items which contain tool bar id’s to be displayed as tabs in the group.
- The active tool bar tab.
Menus
Menus get inserted to the left of the standard Rhino Help menu and contain a list of macros and submenus to be added to the standard Rhino menu bar. There is a special menu section used to define where it insert or extend the standard Rhino menus.
