Parameters

BitMapFileNames

Array of fully qualified paths to three bitmap files, one for each size (small, medium, and large), to be used for the tab icon in different screen resolutions

Class

CLSID or ProgID for the ActiveX control (see Remarks)

LicKey

License key for the ActiveX control; empty string if unknown

ToolTip

Text to display when hovering over the tab icon

WhichPane

Pane where to add the tab as defined in swFeatMgrPane_e (see Remarks)

Return Value

Pointer to the new tab

To:

• Add a tab to the FeatureManager design tree, specify WhichPane with swFeatMgrPane_e.FeatMgrPaneBottom. 
• Add a tab to a split FeatureManager design tree, specify WhichPane with either swFeatMgrPane_e.swFeatMgrPaneTop or swFeatMgrPane_e.swFeatMgrPaneBottom. See IModelDoc2::FeatureManagerSplitterPosition for details on splitting and positioning the split panel bar in the FeatureManager design tree.
• Delete the tab created by this method, use IFeatMgrView::DeleteView. 

Specify Class with either the ProgID or the CLSID of the registered ActiveX control. You can obtain these strings by searching for the registered ActiveX control in the registry editor.

For example, RichEditCtrol.ocx resides in c:\Program files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\sldUtils. It is registered during the SOLIDWORKS installation. When you search for RichEditCtrl.ocx in the registry, you find ProgID = GTSWRICHEDITCTRL.RichEditCtrlCtrl.1 and CLSID = {7632C33C-A935-48FF-84D9-F0F173EF543D}. Use either the registry's ActiveX ProgID or CLSID to specify Class. The ActiveX control library names displayed in the Object Browser may not be the same as the ActiveX control names in the registry. Do not use the Object Browser to specify Class.
