Configuring the Toggle Toolbar Visibility command

In Task Assistant Manager, you can associate ArcMap commands with a step in the workflow. The Task Manager Utilities category in the Command Item Editor contains commands that may be useful during workflow creation. Commands are associated with specific workflow steps and allow a specific function to occur when you run that step in the task assistant workflow.

The Toggle Toolbar Visibility command toggles designated toolbars on/off when a user executes a step in the task assistant workflow. If the toolbars are not currently visible in ArcMap, they appear when the step is executed. If the toolbars are visible in ArcMap, they disappear when the step is executed.

NoteNote:

The Toggle Toolbar Visibility command will work with both ArcGIS for Desktop and any custom toolbars.
