Example

Remarks

See Add-in Callback and Enable Methods to learn how to specify CallbackFunction and EnableMethod.

ImageListIndex is 0-based. The size of the index is equal to number of the images in the large or small graphic file for that CommandGroup. See ICommandGroup::LargeIconList and ICommandGroup::SmallIconList for details. You can use -1 for ImageListIndex to specify that no icon is needed for a command item of type swCommandItemType_e.swMenuItem; however, command items of type swCommandItemType_e.swToolbarItem always need an icon.
