Adding separator in ArcGIS python add-in toolbar?

Question

I am trying to separate two sets of button tools in a python add-in toolbar. I am trying to make a toolbar like existing arcmap toolbar where different classes of tools separated by "|".

Can this be done in python add in toolbar?

You will need to edit your config.xml and add:

separator="true"

to the button that you want the separator to appear before, like I have done near the end of the line of code below:

<Toolbar caption="RJSS Toolbar" category="RJSS Addin" id="RJSS.toolbar" showInitially="true"><Items><Button refID="RJSS.button1" /><Button refID="RJSS.button2" separator="true"/></Items></Toolbar>

• Rauful: I tried the separator property. But after installation it is not showing up in the toolbar. My edits of the config.xml is below: <Toolbars> <Toolbar caption="Fishnet Analysis Tool" category="CrashAnalysisToolbar" id="CrashToolBox_addin.toolbar" showInitially="true"><Items><Button refID="CrashToolBox_addin.button" /><Button refID="CrashToolBox_addin.button_1" /><Button refID="CrashToolBox_addin.button_5" separator="true"/><Button refID="CrashToolBox_addin.button_6" /></Items></Toolbar> </Toolbars> <Menus> </Menus> </ArcMap></AddIn></ESRI.Configuration>
