Remarks

You can override this method and add your own commands. To add your own commands, define them in a custom .vsct file and call them in a custom .cs file.

Examples

This example adds a custom command to the shortcut menu. When a user builds a solution in the generated designer and right-clicks the diagram, one additional command, Validate, appears in the shortcut menu.

In the Commands.vsct file, the following line appears after the include statements.

#define AssociationSortValidate 0x801

In the Commands.vsct file, the following line appears after GENERATED_BUTTONS.

guidCmdSet:AssociationSortValidate, guidCmdSet:grpidContextMain, 0x0100, OI_NOID, BUTTON, DIS_DEF, "&Validate";

Within the VsctComponents folder, the following .cs file is available. The namespace and some of the methods have the name of the project, MenuSample, in them.

        // Register event handlers for menu commands when the Domain-Specific Language Designer starts.
        // Get the commands defined in the generated code.

                CustomCommandId(AssociationSortValidate)));
            return commands;
        }

        // Set whether a command should appear in the shortcut menu by default.
        internal void OnStatusChangeAssociationSort(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MenuCommand command = sender as MenuCommand;
            command.Visible = command.Enabled = true;
        }

        // Perform an Association Sort command on the current selection.
        internal void OnMenuChangeAssociationSort(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            MenuCommand command = sender as MenuCommand;
        }

        // Create local command IDs that are unique.
        private CommandID CustomCommandId(int command)
        {
            return new CommandID(new Guid(Constants.MenuSampleCommandSetId), command);
        }
    }
