Add a tool to a map region

How do I add additional tools to the map region?

 

In Desktop.json.js these two tools are included because they are in the zoomcontrol module.  How do I add other commands to this?  For example, I want to add the command ZoomToInitialExtent to this.  What do I need to replace in the following?

 

{

 

            "id": "ZoomInView",

 

            "visible": true,

 

            "type": "geocortex.essentialsHtmlViewer.mapping.modules.zoomcontrol.ZoomInView",

 

            "require": "Mapping/modules/ZoomControl/ZoomInView",

 

            "markup": "Mapping/modules/ZoomControl/ZoomInView.html",

 

            "region": "TopLeftMapRegion",

 

            "configuration": {}

 

          },

  See also the Navigation Module

  but I do not know if it is possible to add tools here.

  I see.  For example, there is the geolocate tool, which is part of the navigation module.  The items in Desktop.json.js for this are:

   

              "type": "geocortex.essentialsHtmlViewer.mapping.modules.geolocate.GeolocateView",

   

              "require": "Mapping/modules/Geolocate/GeolocateView",

   

              "markup": "Mapping/modules/Geolocate/GeolocateButtonView.html",

   

              "region": "TopLeftMapRegion",

   

              "configuration": {}

   

  What about if I want to add the Zoom to Initial Extent tool?  The command is:

   

  "command": "ZoomToInitialExtent",

   

  How do I add this tool to this TopLeftMapRegion?

  I do not see any module with a view associated with this command.

   

  I think you would have to create own view (optionally a viewmodel), wire command to a button in the view, and then attach the view/vm to a module (let's say navigation), update desktop config refering to this module and view alongwith the region of your choice.
