Well... stopping it is no problem, you can stop the addon with a button. But starting it with a button? What is going to place this button in B1? And what is going to handle the event of the button being pressed to start the addon?

This can't be done without creating another addon (or using an existing one) just to create the button and listen for its event. So it kind of defeats the purpose.

But all users can have access to addon manager, why not just trigger it from there, where there already are Start and Stop buttons?

Hi,

Both buttons in Delivery form . User start the add-on from the delivery form , and from delivery form he pulls the data to shipping form , after that stop the add-on .

Is this possible??

But what is going to put the buttons on the form? This was the point I was making. Only an addon can add buttons to a system form.

Why do you need to start and stop the addon like this? Why not just run it as a normal addon, which adds the buttons to the form, and runs the process when the user clicks them. This is a much simpler approach.

You could build and addon that is actually not stopped (so it can press the button) but instead just set a falg in DB/Memory if the business logic should be executed from the add-on. We do something similar and wors ok.
