Command bar: Help needed with FlyOut Button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by C Kasper 80

Hi community,

I'm trying to add a flyout menu in the command bar which contains a few buttons. The buttons are executing Dialoges, Workflows and Plugins.

Does anyone have some exemplary JavaScript and XML lines which I can use for this? I'm not a DEV and therefore this is quite a challenge for me. I have found some stuff but it doesn't helped me at all.

Thanks everybody for your replies!

    Hi guys

    I have found the issues which I was facing!

    It was more or less my inability.

    For Flyout Buttons, same for Split Buttons, you have to do the following steps:

    1. Add your Entity to a Solution

    2. Open Ribbon Workbench and open the Solution

    3. Create a new Flyout Button and drag it to the Command bar

    4. Now you have to drag the "Menu Section" to the new Button. (That's what I have missed)

    5. Drag your already existing Buttons or your new Buttons under the Menu Section.

    6. Finish your stuff and publish

    Hi Nick,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I'm working with the Ribbon Workbench and I have created a Flyout-Button.

    Now I have troubles with displaying my buttons. The buttons are already existing and now I want to summarize them under a Flyout Button that we don't have that much Buttons as we have right now.

    Do you have any advices with this?

    Best regards

    Hi,

    I think this article from the ribbonworkbench site will be helpful: https://ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/102797-4-ribbon-element-customisation

    From the article:

    A Fly Out Anchor is essentially a drop down menu that can contain Menu Sections and Menu Items. Each Menu Item acts the same as a Button.

    A Split Button is a cross between a Button and a Fly Out Anchor in that it can be clicked, or a sub-item selected from it's drop down menu.

    Regarding how to create them, you should use the great tool Ribbon Workbench, which can be downloaded from here: http://www.develop1.net/public/rwb/ribbonworkbench.aspx 

    This tool is also included in the XrmToolBox, which is available here: https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/ 

    Best regards!

    Nick
