Hi all,

I have tried the ActionBar plugin, it is fantastic, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to communicate information between the buttons. ie, if I use one button to load input parameters, I want those parameters available to a macro called by a second button (there are too many parameters to look elegant passing as concatenated string).

What will be most helpful are any strategies that could help me do one of the following...

1) A way to add buttons to the create.Dialog panel through the macro language
2) A way to enable global variables in ActionBar so I can stick macros inside each button without passing arguments to remote macros
3) Any other way to make a button panel from inside a macro

Thank you for your help with so many questions on the forum (I found out about ActionBar from here)!
