Hello Northgates,

i am just using the drawing pane of nevron. All Buttons and other gui elements are created by my self.

// I JUST CREATED A "NDiagramCommander "
private NDiagramCommander commander = new NDiagramCommander();
private NDrawingView drawingView = new NDrawingView();

...

// I ASSIGNED THE COMMANDER TO THE VIEW
commander.View = this.drawingView;

// IF THE USER PRESSES MY ALLIGN LEFT BUTTON, I DO THIS
NAlignLeftsCommand command = new NAlignLeftsCommand();
commander.Commands.Add(command);
command.Execute();

// TO CHANGE THE FOREGROUND COLOR OF ALL SHAPES, I DO THIS

public void SetFontForegroundColor(Color color)
{
if (drawingView == null) return;
NSelection selection = drawingView.Selection;
if (selection.NodesCount == 0) return;

NTextStyle textStyle = new NTextStyle();
textStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(color);

foreach (INNode node in selection.Nodes)
{
NShape shape = (NShape)node;
if (shape.Style.TextStyle == null)
{
shape.Style.TextStyle = textStyle;
}
else
{
shape.Style.TextStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(color);
}
}

drawingView.SmartRefresh();
}


Hope this helps.

Regards, Dieter

Would it be possible to have a full example with at least one button on how to hook, including enable, disable and process the command.

Currently I am using the nevron context menu from the commandbarmanager and I am at a loss on how to correctly implement my ribbon bar buttons.
