IVsCommandWindow::ExecuteCommand Method (String^)

Visual Studio 2015

Executes the specified command.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)

Syntax

C++

int ExecuteCommand(
	String^ szCommand
)

Parameters

szCommand: Type: System::String^
[in] String containing the command.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

If the command is invalid or disabled the method reports the error to the user and returns S_OK.

Note that the method returns control to the caller before the command has actually executed: ExecuteCommand simply posts a Windows message. When the shell receives the message, it executes the command.
