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,

    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

    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 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
