Administration Menu for Add-ins
An add-in
often contains commands intended both for end users and the administrator of
the system. You can add these commands as menu items using the
IEdmCmdMgr5::AddCmd
method. The downside to this is that the
administrator commands are displayed in the Windows Explorer and, unless you
check the logged-in user, all users are able to run the administrator
commands.
In
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional 6.4, a new flag is added to IEdmCmdMgr5::AddCmd,
EdmMenuFlags::EdmMenu_Administration,
which controls whether a
menu command is hidden in the Windows Explorer. When the flag is
set, the command is displayed only in SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional’s Administration
tool when you right-click the add-in.
