Customize the built-in menu bars and panes

We would like to use parts of the built-in menu bars and panes. For instance, in the Zoom bar, we might only want to expose the slider. How can we do that programmatically?

Hello Shaun,
The easiest way would be to install the end user Viewer, customize the UI there to the way you want it - and then export the settings to a data file.
Then use the
LoadSettings() method to load that file in the AX control immediately after you load the control itself in your project.
Regards,
Stefan

We tried that and are receiving an exception that says, "Source storage is wrong."

We were able to make this work by exporting the settings from our application instead of from the end-user viewer. This is how we did it.
Code: Select all
public void SaveSettings() {
try {
// SavePath is an absolute path to a *.dat file
var obj = SavePath as object;
_viewer.SaveSettings(ref obj);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
_viewer.GetTextFromResult(ex.HResult, out var text);
Pd.Trace(text);
}
}
public void LoadSettings() {
try {
// LoadPath is an absolute path to a *.dat file
var obj = LoadPath as object;
_viewer.LoadSettings(obj);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
_viewer.GetTextFromResult(ex.HResult, out var text);
Pd.Trace(text);
}
}
