Hello, from my users side of view I can say that I use context menu, button and also EZ-Buttons...it depends on the functions I want to use and what I can reach faster. But this should be the difficult thing becuase every users works in a different way as I realzied it from how my collegues work with OJ. So the best solution should be a user adaptable (contex)menu/button toolbar...but this should be a very difficult development. Independent from this I use also the ... - copy/paste layer/features functions from the context menu (I believe it is the fastest way, so I need it in the contect menu) - But I use the change style options only from the toolbar (I do not need it in the context menu) - I never used the Add Objects function from the context menu (it can be moved to the menu bar) - I do not need Visibility function in the context menu (it faster to use the checkbox in the layer list (it can be moved to the menu bar)
