We are looking at the Ribbon workbench and we are trying to place a small icon in command bar that is only shown when a function is executing. Can this be done with workbench or should I use another tool?

I've found this: http://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/mahenderpal/archive/2012/03/20/show-loading-message-during-function-execution-in-crm-form.aspx

But it doesn't seem to work for CRM 2013. Anyone have something similar?

Hi,

Interesting idea - sounds like a fun thing to do.

This would not have been possible in CRM2011 because you could not dynamically show and hide buttons - but now with CRM2013 if you create a custom enable rule, your button will show/hide when you call refreshRibbon.

You can see more on how to do this at - http://ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/121427-enable-disable-a-ribbon-button-dynamically-based-o

This approach would also work if you use a CustomRule that calls a javascript function - http://garethtuckercrm.com/2013/11/25/dynamically-disable-ribbon-buttons-in-dynamics-crm/

Hope this helps,
