Description
A ToolbarMenu supplies the implementation of a menu item that can host commands, menus, palettes and multi-items.
Takes the specified command, menu or palette and creates new items that are appended to the ToolbarMenu with their Command set, and returns the index of the first item added. Specifiy the command, menu or palette as either a IUid, ProgID, ICommand , IMenuDef or IPaletteDef. To add a sub menu use the AddSubMenu method. To add a MultiItem use the IToolbarMenu2::AddMultiItem method. Note a palette object will be automatically added as a sub menu.
Supply a subType when passing an ICommandSubType. If no subType is supplied and the command is passed as a IUid or ProgID then ICommandSubType::GetCount determines the number of item's to be added to the ToolbarMenu. A subType must be supplied when passing an ICommandSubType as an ICommand, or the method will fail. By default subType is 0.
Index determines the position on the ToolbarMenu that the Item will be added to. By default this is -1 and represents the end of the ToolbarMenu.
beginGroup determines whether a separator will appear before the Item. By default beginGroup is False.
Style determines the style of the Item.
Errors Returned
1023 800A03FF: The specified index is out of range
1035 800A040B: The subtype specified for the command (possibly in a UID object) is invalid or out of range
1038: Tool control is already on a ToolbarControl, only one instance of a tool control can be added
1049 800A0419 The supplied style is not valid for this Toolbar item
1050 800A041A: The item being added is invalid -Tools and ToolControls may not be added to menus
1064 800A0428: A command or a toolbar cannot be added as a menu item.
1068: A subtype must be specified when adding an ICommandSubType object
Remarks
AddItem checks to see if the supplied command or the commands used by the menu already exists in the CommandPool used by the ToolbarMenu. If the command does not already exist, it is created and added to the CommandPool with a ICommandPool::UsageCount of 1, and is set as the IToolbarItem::Command . If the command already exists in the CommandPool its ICommandPool::UsageCount is incremented by 1 and the command is set as the IToolbarItem::Command. The ICommand::OnCreate method will be called the first time a command is added to the CommandPool.
Where possible always supply commands and menus as either Uid objects or ProgID's. Only supply commands as ICommand or IMenuDef objects when a IUid or ProgID does not exist, and the class is compiled as part of the same project using the ToolbarControl. Passing a command or menu as an ICommand or IMenuDef object has the following limitation: Multiple instances of the same command can be added to the CommandPool , and each IToolbarItem::Command will point to a different command object.
