Parameters

DocType

Document type to which to add the shortcut menu item

SelectType

Selection type  to which to add the shortcut menu item

Item

Description that appears on the shortcut menu

CallbackFcnAndModule

Function called when user clicks your shortcut menu item (see Remarks)

CustomNames

Names of custom feature types (see Remarks)

Unused

Reserved for future use, set to 0

Return Value

True if shortcut menu item was added, false if not

To add a separator, set the Item argument to NULL or an empty string.

If you want to create a pull-down menu, use IFrame::AddMenu.

This method only operates when your application is implemented as a DLL, not as an EXE. Any function exposed as a callback from a menu item must be declared as an EXPORT or included in your .def file.

You can add a new menu to any one of the four SOLIDWORKS frames (main frame, part frame, assembly frame, or drawing frame). To do this, you must get the IFrame object when the desired frame is active.

For example, if you want your menu to be available when a part document is active, then call ISldWorks::Frame when a part is first loaded or created, and use that IFrame object to call this method. Once you add your menu to the part frame, you do not need to do it again during the current SOLIDWORKS session.

The CallbackFcnAndModule argument specifies which function to call when this menu item is selected by the user. The syntax is as follows:

"dllname@function@updatefunction,hintstring"

where:

CustomNames is semi-colon separated list of the names of the custom feature types. This argument is applicable only if SelectType is a custom feature type (like swSelATTRIBUTES); in the case of swSelATTRIBUTES, set this field to the name of the attribute definition.
