Hi,

i've created a custom toolbar that runs my script's sections. I set some buttons enabled only when the active windows is a worksheet, others only when the enabled window type is a plot.

I have a problem: I need a button of these to be enabled even when no windows are present/active, exactly like Origin's "New worksheet" button does.

Is it possible? How do i have to modify my custom .ini file?

I've attached the .ini file, what i pratically need is that CustomButton1 remains always Enabled.


;User defined toolbar information.

That is possible only in Origin 7.0+.

...My (partial) workaround in pre-7.0 days was to keep a minimized worksheet in the project at all times. You can create one at startup or when clicking the New Document button by adding the following macro definition to Macros.cnf...

def autoexec {win -t D; win -i};

You might also need to select Start New Project: None on the Open/Close tab of Tools->Options. This is only a partial solution because it doesn't help in an empty project folder.

Thanks Mike, keeping a worksheet minimized is a good workaround for the problem, since it needs to be done only when origin is started.
