Has the menu & toolbar customization functionality in VS2010 been reduced?
I can't seem to be able to select an icon for an added command, nor set it to be icon-only. Previous versions of Visual Studio supported this functionality and even allowed the creation/editing of custom icons.
Is this something that has suffered as a result of the move to the WPF-authored UI or am I missing something?
Seems like this functionality was cut from Visual Studio 2010. This post has some info in the comments: Customizing Visual Studio 2010
Specifically - "Unfortunately assigning or editing icons to commands through Customize dialog is not possible in VS2010. It is one of the features got cut for lack of time. This is however something we'll consider adding back in next version."
The reply also has a longer explanation of a workaround.
The other thing I miss is the ability to drag and drop toolbar buttons around while in Customize mode. We use TFS and I like putting the "Team Explorer, Source Control, and Pending Changes" as big fat buttons to the right of MenuStrip (yes the MenuStrip). Big timesaver!
Now, seems to be gone :(
Dave, here's how to add toolbar buttons: 1) in the IDE, find the down arrow looking thing on the far right of a toolbar and click on Add Remove Buttons, Customize 2) in the Customize window select the Menu Bar radio button then select the appropriate menu bar that you want to add a button to 3) click the "Add Command..." button 4) select the appropriate Category and Command button that you want to add, then click OK.
The command button you selected will be added to the menu bar you selected. You can move the button up or down.
I think this is what you are looking for.
Good luck!
