I am trying to add the Comments and Markup Tools Menu to a custom menu bar. I am able to move the cmd cmd.tools.markup to the custom bar, change the title, and add an icon, but the drop down does nothing if hovering over or clicking. Below is the code I'm using.
And this is what the custom bar looks like. The "Annotations" button/drop down looks like it should work with the little triangle, but then nothing happens. Could you provide an example of how to achieve this? I appreciate all your help.
Thanks Alex. I have this figured out now. I'll leave the full code on getting the menu setup like I have in the previous screenshot. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.
