You can return anything; it is ignored.

DISCUSSION

This message is sent to the view identified by the viewDefView slot, if Newton Works receives notification of an auxiliary button change. This can occur if a package installs or removes an auxiliary button for Newton Works. When this message is called, the view should update its statusLeftButtons and statusRightButtons slots. This message is also sent anytime the button array is recreated and redrawn.

Note that this method is optional.
