Yes, but there is no code in your Add-On that maintains the status of the buttons in the toolbar (it is currently impossible to write such code in basic because you have to provide an object to the dispatch framework). Carsten proposal enriches the communication of this object to the dispatch framework and so it is nothing that can be used from Basic. The interface between a basic code snippet and a toolbar button is only "passive", means: the basic code is called from inside the toolbar button, but never the other way around because there is no object in the basic code that is bound to the controller. Any static approaches will fail because the whole communication between toolbar controls and the "status event sources" is dynamic by nature. *If* we think about a way to support status information via basic we should think about helper dispatch objects that can be parameterized from basic. The main problem will be how we can insert them into the dispatch chain. Perhaps we can use the macro dispatcher as a medium (the same object that executes the macro when the button is clicked).
