Parameters

Cookie

Resource ID of the toolbar; this is the same cookie that you specified in ISwAddin::ConnectToSW

Title

Title of the toolbar

SmallBitmapImage

Bitmap file to use for the small bitmap for the toolbar (see Remarks)

LargeBitmapImage

Bitmap file to use for the large bitmap for the toolbar (see Remarks)

MenuPositionForToolbar

Not used (SolidWorks always puts toolbar names in alphabetical order)

DocumentType

Bitwise values indicating what frame window types should have this toolbar's name added to the View, Toolbars menu; values from swDocTemplateTypes_e

Return Value

Toolbar ID for use with other methods or -1 if not created

For information about using this method with the ISwAddin object, see Using ISwAddin to Create a SolidWorks Add-in.

This method:

• Only operates properly when the application is implemented as a DLL and not as an .exe.

• Adds the toolbar name to the View, Toolbars menu.

• Only creates the toolbar and passes the image for the buttons to SolidWorks. To add functionality, use ISldWorks::AddToolbarCommand2.

The bitmap images should contain the bitmaps for each of the buttons, including separators, in the toolbar as a single bitmap. For a small bitmap, the image for each button must be 16x16; for a large bitmap, it must be 24x24. The bitmaps should use a 256-color palette. Use gray (RGB 192, 192, 192) for transparent areas in your bitmap.

If either SmallBitmapImage or LargeBitmapImage is NULL or empty, then the provided image is scaled to create the appropriately sized bitmap for the other argument.

NOTES:  

• When your add-in is unloaded, you must call ISldWorks::RemoveToolbar2 to remove this toolbar.

• If you want the toolbar to show up in specific locations only, do not use the now obsolete ISldWorks::ShowToolbar2 method. If your application uses that method, your application ignores the DocumentType argument. ISldWorks::ShowToolbar2 assumes that the application is controlling the visibility state of the toolbar, and not the user. This means that the toolbar will be available in all locations.
