Customize the IAR BUILD TOOLBAR

[Emerson-Bot]

Hello,

Is there a way to customize the build toolbar?

We have a script that signs a .bin file and then uploads it to the target. I would like to have a toolbar button that performs this procedure. Similar to the customize feature of the IAR Workbench Tools menu.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. There is no way currently to customize the toolbar. However, you can achieve something similar in other ways:

• Adding the script as a Shell task would let you run the script from the command palette or with a hotkey.
• Using an extension like Task Buttons or Activitus Bar (not affiliated with us) you can add a button for running the task to your status bar, so that you can run it using just the mouse.

Being able to customize the build toolbar is a good idea, but since there are good alternatives, implementing this is likely not going to be a priority for us.
