Add ActiveX Tabs to FeatureManager Design Tree Example (C#)
This example shows how to add tabs to a split FeatureManager design tree
using an on-disk bitmap file for the tabs' icons.
//----------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. In the IDE,
reference your ActiveX control file
// (click Project > Add Reference > Browse and
browse
// to the folder where the ActiveX control resides and
click
// the ActiveX control file > OK).
// 2. Verify that the specified part document and bitmap exist.
// 3. Replace activex_control_component_declaration and
// activex_control_CLSID_or_ProgID with your
ActiveX control's
// information.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Opens the part document and splits the FeatureManager
// design tree.
// 2. Adds a new tab to each FeatureManager design tree.
// 3. Activates the new tab on the top FeatureManager
// design tree.
//
// NOTE: Because the part document is used elsewhere,
// do not save changes.
