Hi :slight_smile:
Sorry you are not getting any answers from this mailing list! I guess none
of us know. Please could you try asking on the Ask LO thing?
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/

There are also mailing lists for various different languages and also many
3rd party sites can help with LibreOffice now. Since you are in India you
might find this project;
http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/
enormously helpful. They even have their own forums.

Given how long you have been waiting for an answer and given that you
question is quite technical i would ask in 3 or maybe even 4 different
places and maybe link between them when you get a good answer, if you have
the time. This tactic helps spread the knowledge further.

Apols and regards from

I add new menubars/toolbars and button via the menu

Tools -> Customise

The code behind the button would have already been written as a macro.

However, Rajiv explicitly states that he wants to

add a functionality to it without using customizing toolbar

If that's the case it would be a question on the developers list. Alternatively get the code and debug what happens to an existing button.

Hi :slight_smile:
Part of the question is how to get hold of that code.

I guess it might make sense to get one button set-up that way, get to the
code for it and modify that code. Then the question would be how to roll
it out across many machines.

Is it possible to write a button as an Extension? Could an Extension be
rolled out across multiple machines without requiring user intervention?
Would this be better done through the xcu(?) registry thing in Windows?

Hi :slight_smile:
Someone kindly pointed out that code can be rolled out to multiple machines
using a "patch file". I don't know how to do that but the o.p. does.

So now the main question is how to get the source code of a button.

Side issue is knowing if it's possible to write a button as an Extension or
as a macro or can a macro be an Extension? I guess this is something for
the devs rather than this list? I know this is all beyond me!
