Examples

Imports Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars
Sub AddCommandBarExample()
   ' Before running, you must add a reference to the Office 
   ' typelib to gain access to the CommandBar object. Also, for this 
   ' example to work correctly, there should be an add-in available 
   ' in the Visual Studio environment.
   Dim cmds As Commands
   Dim cmdobj As Command
   Dim customin, customout As Object
   Dim cmdbarobj As CommandBar
   Dim colAddins As AddIns

   ' Set references.
   colAddins = DTE.AddIns()
   cmds = DTE.Commands
   cmdobj = cmds.Item("File.NewFile")

   ' Create a toolbar and add the File.NewFile command to it.
   cmdbarobj = cmds.AddCommandBar("Mycmdbar", vsCommandBarType.vsCommandBarTypeToolbar)
   MsgBox("Commandbar name: " & cmdbarobj.Name)
   cmdobj = cmds.AddNamedCommand(colAddins.Item(1), "mycommand", "mycommand", "tooltip for mycommand", True)
End Sub
