How to: Add and Handle Commands

The following objects allow you to create, handle, and manipulate commands on Visual Studio menus and toolbars.

Object Name

Description

IDTCommandTarget

Provides methods to determine the status of, or execute, a command added to the integrated development environment (IDE) by using the AddNamedCommand2 method.

Commands2

Represents all commands in the IDE.

Command

Represents a command in the IDE.

CommandEvents

Provides command events for add-ins.

CommandBarEvents

Provides a Click event for when a control on a command bar is clicked.

Note

If your command no longer appears on the appropriate command bar, or if you add a new command or modify an existing command, or if you would like to recreate the command, close all instances of Visual Studio and double-click the file named ReCreateCommands.reg in the folder containing the source code for your Add-in.

Using these objects, you can:

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. These procedures were developed with the General Development Settings active. To change your settings, choose Import and ExportSettings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.

Example

The following example uses:

The procedure demonstrates how to make an add-in appear as a command on the Tools menu in Visual Studio. Add the first section of code to the OnConnection method of the add-in you create. In the Exec and QueryStatus methods, make sure that the line, If cmdName = "MyAddin1.Connect.MyAddin1" Then, reflects the name of your add-in.
