Create a module and provide an IDashboardCommand into antony’s DI Container. This command will be displayed in the RibbonBar of the Dashboard, if selector passes.
...
Example
Create a class, implement the IDashboardCommand within, and register it within the DI Container

public class MyDashboardCommand: IDashboardCommand, IModuleSelector<DashboardCommandSelector>
{
public IModuleSelector<DashboardCommandSelector> Selector => this;
public AntonyPriority GetPriority(DashboardCommandSelector selectorParameter) => AntonyPriority.Explicit;
private Func<MyViewModel> _viewModel;
public MyDashboardCommand(Func<MyViewModel> viewModel)
{
_viewModel = viewModel;
}
public AntonyCommandInfo ActionInfo => new AntonyCommandInfoBuilder()
.WithSvgImage(Resources.logo)
.WithDisplayName("MyViewCommand")
.WithGeneralPageName()
.WithGroupName("MyModule")
.WithLargeRibbonImage()
.Build();
public event EventHandler CommandStateChanged;
public Task ExecuteAsync(IntPtr parentWindow, IProgressReporter reporter)
{
var viewModel = _viewModel();
var view = new MyView();
view.DataContext = viewModel;
ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(view); // needs a antony is WinForms
view.Show();
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
public CommandState GetCommandState()
{
return CommandState.Normal;
}

Conclusion
As you see, implementing an IDashboardCommandis easy. You can use this ExtensionPoint to provide a simple shortcut to external programms for example like “Open MyERP”.
You might also create some more integrated logic like open a prefilled MailWindow, create an appointment directly from dashboard and so on and so far.
