Remarks

Call this method in your implementation of IEdmAddIn5::GetAddInInfo to:

  • Add command buttons to the Windows Explorer toolbar. Before calling IEdmCmdMgr5::AddCmd, call IEdmCmdMgr5::AddToolbarImage to register an image with the toolbar button you want to add.
  • Add menu commands to the Windows Explorer Tools menu.
  • Add menu commands to the right-click context menu of files or folders in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional vault.

lCmdID can be any value. SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional passes it to your implementation of IEdmAddIn5::OnCmd via EdmCmd::mlCmdID.

lToolbarButtonIndex is the index of the toolbar image in a resource image that contains several images.

lToolbarImageID is the same as the lImageID parameter of IEdmCmdMgr5::AddToolbarImage.

NOTE: Menu commands and toolbar buttons added using this method display only when the user browses a SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional file vault. They do not display for ordinary Windows folders.

Return codes:

  • S_OK: The method successfully executed.
  • S_FALSE: One of the arguments is invalid.
