Parameters

Cookie

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

Title

Title of the toolbar

ImageList

Array of strings of the paths for the icons 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 images for the icons to SOLIDWORKS. To add functionality, use ISldWorks::AddToolbarCommand2.

• supports scaling for high resolution screens with high resolution operating system scaling options. 

ImageList icons can be:

• 20 x 20 pixels
• 32 x 32 pixels
• 40 x 40 pixels
• 64 x 64 pixels
• 96 x 96 pixels
• 128 x128 pixels 

Each image file (.bmp or .png) should contain all of the same-size icons for the toolbar buttons and separators. For example:

Each icon strip should use a 256-color palette.

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.
