Create Flyouts in the CommandManager Example (C#)

This example shows how to use an add-in to create flyouts in:

  • CommandManager
  • context-sensitive menus of selected faces
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Verify that the SOLIDWORKS API SDK add-in templates for your version
//    of Microsoft Visual Studio are installed.
// 2. In Microsoft Visual Studio, create a C# project using the
//    SwCSharpAddin template.
// 3. Name the project FlyoutAddin.
// 4. Copy and paste SwAddin into SwAddin.cs of your project.
// 5. Click Project > FlyoutAddin Properties > Debug.
// 6. Select Start external program and type the pathname of your 
//    SOLIDWORKS executable.
// 7. Replace the text shown for the icons and mainIcons array elements
//    with the pathnames of your image files.
// 8. Press F5 to start debugging this add-in.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. In SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > C# Add-in > CreateCube.
// 2. Click Dynamic Flyout in the CommandManager and click FlyoutCommand 2.
// 3. Inspect the Immediate window.
// 4. Click a face of the cube.
// 5. Click the flyout button in the face's context-sensitive menu and
//    click FlyoutCommand 1.
// 6. Inspect the Immediate window.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
