function FindCommandBar(
    pToolbarSet : Object, 
    pguidCmdGroup : Guid, 
    dwMenuId : uint, 
    ppdispCmdBar : Object
) : int

Parameters

  • pToolbarSet
    Type: System.Object
    [in] Use nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
  • pguidCmdGroup
    Type: System.Guid%
    [in] The GUID of the toolbar or menu to find. You can use GUID_Macro or GUID_AddIn (depending on the way the item was created), which are auto-generated GUIDs defined in vbapkg.idl.
  • dwMenuId
    Type: System.UInt32
    [in] The ID of the toolbar or menu..

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

This method always starts from the top level of menus and toolbars, and can be quite inefficient if you are trying to find a nested menu. This is because the Visual Studio shell has large numbers of top-level items, each of which has large collections of child items, which the shell must populate during the search. You should use this method mainly for top-level toolbars or menus.

The best way to find a nested menu or toolbar (for example, the New submenu on the File menu) is to first get a parent menu, and then use its Controls collection to find the node that you want.
