`ricaun.AutoCAD.UI` provides a set of UI controls and utilities for AutoCAD .NET applications, built on top of the `AutoCAD.NET` library. It is designed to simplify the development of ribbon user interfaces in AutoCAD plugins.
## Features
### ExtensionApplication
The `ExtensionApplication` class provides a base implementation for AutoCAD .NET applications to start and shutdown, managing the ribbon control lifecycle.
```C#
using ricaun.AutoCAD.UI;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
[assembly: ExtensionApplication(MyExtensionApp)]
public class MyExtensionApp : ExtensionApplication
{
public override void OnStartup(RibbonControl ribbonControl)
{
ribbonControl.CreatePanel("MyPanel");
}
public override void OnShutdown(RibbonControl ribbonControl)
{
ribbonControl.RemovePanel("MyPanel");
}
}
```
### RibbonExtension
The `RibbonExtension` class offers extension methods to create and manage ribbon panels, buttons, and other UI elements in AutoCAD.
```C#
using ricaun.AutoCAD.UI;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
[assembly: ExtensionApplication(MyExtensionApp)]
public class MyExtensionApp : ExtensionApplication
{
public override void OnStartup(RibbonControl ribbonControl)
{
var ribbonPanel = ribbonControl.CreatePanel("MyPanel");
ribbonPanel.CreateButton("MyButton")
.SetText("Click Me")
.SetDescription("This is a button description")
.SetToolTip("This is a button tooltip")
.SetImage("Resources/image16-light.png")
.SetLargeImage("Resources/image32-light.png")
.SetCommand(() =>
{
// Button click logic here
});
}
public override void OnShutdown(RibbonControl ribbonControl)
{
ribbonControl.RemovePanel("MyPanel");
}
}
```
### Ribbon Image - Theme Change Support
The `SetImage` and `SetLargeImage` methods automatically handle theme changes based in the key name `light` and `dark` in the image file names.
```C#
ribbonPanel.CreateButton("MyButton")
.SetImage("Resources/image16-light.png") // If the theme is dark, it will use "Resources/image16-dark.png" internally
.SetLargeImage("Resources/image32-light.png"); // If the theme is dark, it will use "Resources/image32-dark.png" internally
```
When the AutoCAD theme changes, the ribbon button images will automatically update to match the current theme.
