IDE-Defined Commands
Many commands and command groups are already defined for use by the Visual Studio IDE. These commands are also available for your use when you extend Visual Studio.
Finding Environment-Defined Commands
The environment commands are defined in a set of four .ctc files:
-
SharedCmdDef.ctc
-
SharedCmdPlace.ctc
-
ShellCmdDef.ctc
-
ShellCmdPlace.ctc
These files are located in the \Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\<build number>\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Inc folder. These files provide the definitions and GUIDs of the menus and groups that you can use in the command table configuration (.ctc) file of your VSPackage as containers for your own menus, groups, and commands. For more information on command file (.ctc) format, see Command Table Format Reference.
Note |
|---|
| Many of the commands and command groups are referred to using predefined names, rather than GUID:ID pairs. The macros that associate the predefined names with the appropriate GUID:ID pairs are defined in several header (.h) files. The header files used by each command file are included at the top of the command file. |
