Creating a Button

The most basic control and the control you'll use most often is the button which, when clicked, runs a macro that you specify:

<button id="value"
label="value"
imageMso="value"
size="normal|large"
InsertAfterMso="value"
InsertBeforeMso="value"
onAction="value"
enabled="true|false"
visible="true|false"
screentip="value"
supertip="value"
keytip="value" />

Here's an example:

<button id="CustomButton1"
	imageMso="HappyFace"
	label="Hello World!"
	size="large"
	onAction="Module1.MyButton"
	screentip="Hello World"
	supertip="Displays the canonical Hello World! message."
	keytip="M" />
