Create element with custom button

Dear all,
I'm new to oXygen, so please let me ask a beginners question. I looked at the shipped
example. This is a very good example and I like the CSS style abilities. But I do not understand, how the
and
buttons work to add or remove a personal sheet. Could you please tell me, where I can find documentation relating to this topic?
Thanks for your support!

Hello,
The buttons are one of the built in form controls supported by Oxygen:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/ ... ction.html
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/ ... ditor.html
A button binds itself to an author action and when the button is pressed the action is executed in the context of the element the button is added on. More on the author actions:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/ ... us-toolbar
http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-author/ ... ation.html
Referring to
personal.xml sample file, if you go to
Options->Preferences..., on the
Document type associations options page you will notice a document type named
Personal (Sample). Click
Edit and in the configuration dialog select the
Author then
Actions tabs. You will notice a couple of defined author actions. If you go to the
CSS tab you will see the CSS file in which the buttons are added. If you open it (it's location is {oxygenInstallDir}/frameworks/samples/css/personal.css}) you will see how the buttons are bounded to the author actions you've previously seen.
There is a video presentation available about the form control support in Oxygen:

as well as a registered webinar:
