# SFWidgets.ToolbarButton service

The ToolbarButton service allows to retrieve information related to the toolbar buttons available in a given toolbar. With this service it is possible to:

- Toggle the visibility of toolbar elements.

- Execute the command associated with a given toolbar button.

## Service invocation

Before using the ToolbarButton service the ScriptForge library needs to be loaded or imported:

• Basic macros require to load ScriptForge library using the following statement:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")
• Python scripts require an import from scriptforge module:
from scriptforge import CreateScriptService

The ToolbarButton service is invoked using the ToolbarButtons method from the Toolbar service.

##### In Basic

The example below retrieves the names of all buttons available in the Standard toolbar.

        oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
        oToolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
        arrToolbarButtons = oToolbar.ToolbarButtons()
        MsgBox SF_String.Represent(arrToolbarButtons)

Use the ToolbarButtons method without arguments to retrieve an array with all available toolbar button names.

The example below toggles the visibility of the Print button in the Standard toolbar:

        oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
        oToolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
        oToolbarButton = oToolbar.ToolbarButtons("Print")
        oToolbarButton.Visible = Not oToolbarButton.Visible

The button name passed as argument to the ToolbarButtons method is the localized button name defined in the Tools - Customize - Toolbars dialog.

Inactive toolbars do not have buttons. Therefore, calling the ToolbarButtons method will make the toolbar visible.

##### In Python

        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
        toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
        arr_toolbar_buttons = toolbar.ToolbarButtons()
        bas.MsgBox(repr(arr_toolbar_buttons))

        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
        toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
        toolbar_button = toolbar.ToolbarButtons("Print")
        toolbar_button.Visible = not toolbar_button.Visible

## Use of ToolbarButton alongside the PopupMenu service

A common use case of the properties X and Y described above is to open a popup menu in the position where the toolbar button is located.

Suppose you create the script below and associate it with a button named "My Button" in the standardbar. When it is clicked, a popup menu will be shown with 3 options for the user to select.

##### In Basic

        Sub OpenPopupMenu()
            GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("ScriptForge")
            oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
            oToolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
            oButton = oToolbar.ToolbarButtons("My Button")
            oPopup = CreateScriptService("SFWidgets.PopupMenu", , oButton.X, oButton.Y + oButton.Height)
            oPopup.AddItem("Item A", "A")
            oPopup.AddItem("Item B", "B")
            oPopup.AddItem("Item C", "C")
            strResponse = oPopup.Execute(False)
            MsgBox "Your choice: " & strResponse
        End Sub

##### In Python

        def open_popup_menu(args=None):
            bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
            doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
            toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
            toolbutton = toolbar.ToolbarButtons("My Button")
            popup = CreateScriptService("PopupMenu", None, toolbutton.X, toolbutton.Y + toolbutton.Height)
            popup.AddItem("Item A", "A")
            popup.AddItem("Item B", "B")
            popup.AddItem("Item C", "C")
            response = popup.Execute(False)
            bas.MsgBox(f"Your choice: {response}")

List of Methods in the ToolbarButton Service
Execute |  |

## Execute

Executes the command or script associated with the toolbar button.

This method returns the value returned by the command or script executed.

Use the OnClick property to determine the command or script that shall be executed. If the command/script does not return any value, then Null is returned.

### Syntax:

svc.Execute(): any

### Example:

The example below executes the Print button from the Standard toolbar:

##### In Basic

          oDoc = CreateScriptService("Document", ThisComponent)
          oToolbar = oDoc.Toolbars("standardbar")
          oToolbarButton = oToolbar.ToolbarButtons("Print")
          oToolbarButton.Execute()

##### In Python

          bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        doc = CreateScriptService("Document", bas.ThisComponent)
        toolbar = doc.Toolbars("standardbar")
        toolbar_button = toolbar.ToolbarButtons("Print")
        toolbar_button.Execute()

All ScriptForge Basic routines or identifiers that are prefixed with an underscore character "_" are reserved for internal use. They are not meant be used in Basic macros or Python scripts.
