What are all the possible settings attributes in TinyMCE's addButton() function?

Question

The documentation is not very clear on this.

name - String - Button name to add.

settings - Object - Settings object with title, cmd etc.

"etc"? Really? Where can I see the rest of the possible attributes?

Yea, i can't believe how ugly the tinyMCE documentation is... im here for the same thing... when i saw the "etc" there after 2 possible setting options i laughed so hard. — msqar, Jun 18 '15 at 19:28
I thought I was the only one thinking this. The TinyMCE API documentation is absolutely atrocious. — SUM1, May 23 '20 at 23:51

Where is "ui" in TinyMCE 4 now? It's gone, how can i switch or validate against that now? – msqar Jun 18 '15 at 19:29
Still seems to be there - http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/api4:namespace.tinymce.ui – Jason Jun 19 '15 at 13:56
Any idea what goes into 'style'? – bart Jul 17 '15 at 08:22

There is a `type` option, however, I couldn't find any reference to all possible values for it in the official docs. BTW, the links above are broken. :/ – Gustavo Straube Mar 28 '16 at 13:14

What you would like to know is what settings may fit into the settings object (tinymce 3). Here it is:

title       --> title
label       --> label
scope       --> scope
onclick     --> function to be called onclick
menu_button --> flag, defines if the button is a menu button
cmd         --> tinymce command to get executed onClick
ui          --> paramter for the tinymce command cmd
value       --> value for the tinymce command cmd

Those settings get assigned in the function createButton of the class ControlManager.

Having had the same issue trying to find the addButton docs in V4 I found the link, just in case anybody needs it.

tinymce.ui.Button

Hope it helps someone!

It is not enough simply point to an external link. Your post should explain the answer possibly with an example and point to an external resource for more details. – warunapww Aug 18 '16 at 05:54
