) 

Parameters

UserID

Unique user-defined ID for this CommandGroup

Title

Name of the CommandGroup to create (see Remarks)

ToolTip

ToolTip for this CommandGroup

Hint

Text displayed in SOLIDWORKS status bar when a user's mouse pointer is over this CommandGroup

Position

Position of the CommandGroup in the CommandManager for all document templates (see Remarks

NOTE: Specify 0 to add the CommandGroup to the beginning of the CommandMananger, or specify -1 to add it to the end of the CommandManager.

Return Value

Pointer to ICommandGroup object

Remarks

You can also use ICommandGroup::MenuPosition to control the position of the CommandGroup in specific document templates.

 

If you change the definition of an existing CommandGroup (i.e., add or remove toolbar buttons), you must assign a new unique user-defined UserID to that CommandGroup. You must perform this action to avoid conflicts with any previously existing CommandGroupa and to allow for backward and forward compatibility of the CommandGroups in your application.

 

To add a CommandGroup to an existing SOLIDWORKS menu, specify the name of a parent menu in Title. For example, to add a CommandGroup to the Help menu, specify:

Visual Basic:                    "&Help/MyApp Help"   
Visual C++ or C#:         "&Help\\MyApp Help"

NOTE: If you do not specify the name of a parent menu in Title, then the menu item appears on the Tools menu below the Xpress Products menu item.

 

You can turn off all menus or all toolbars for a CommandGroup . See ICommandGroup::HasMenu and ICommandGroup::HasToolbar for details.
