Hi Larry,

You could try the same way that Max's script menu does it which is by getting the commands folder using:

var dir = moi.filesystem.getCommandsDir();

And then you can iterate through all files ending in .js in that directory using:

var files = moi.filesystem.getFiles( dir, '*.js' );

Going through the buttons in the side pane would be something like this:

var buttons = moi.ui.sidePane.document.getElementsByTagName( 'moi:CommandButton' );

for ( var i = 0; i < buttons.length; ++i )
{
    var command = buttons.item(i).getAttribute( 'command' );
}

Perfect, thanks as always Michael!!

Hi Michael,

Well I replied a bit too soon... ;-}

So of the 62 buttons, there are 32 with command attributes 20 with commanset attributes, 7 with onclick attributes and 3 that are visibility:hidden. How would I go about finding the commands within the commandsets? Earlier I'd written a little script to dump the nodes of the moi.ui.sidePane.document, but I didn't find any hints about how to see the contents of the commandsets. I suppose I could parse the commands/*.xml files, but I'm guessing that MoI already has done that.

Hi Larry, yes you would need to load the xml files and go through their contents. MoI does not do that itself on load, it's done dynamically on demand when a command set is triggered. Until it has been triggered the side pane nor Moi's main code does not yet know anything about the contents of it.

So enumerating *.js files in the commands folder may be a better method.
