Custom map selection commands

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample. If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

1. Build the project.
2. Do one of the following: a) Add the commands to the ToolbarControl programmatically using the IToolbarControl.AddItem method; b) Use the commands directly with the MapControl or PageLayoutControl programmatically by creating a new instance of a command and passing the MapControl or PageLayoutControl to its OnCreate event; c) Add the commands interactively to the ToolbarControl by clicking the Add from File button in the ToolbarControl's Customizing dialog box, (available through the property pages) and browsing to the *.tlb file; or d) Add the commands interactively to the ToolbarControl by dragging them from the Sample_Select category in the ToolbarControl's Customizing dialog box.
