ArcObjects Library Reference (SystemUI)  

ICommand Interface

Provides access to members that define a COM command.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

ICommand is the primary interface implemented by most customizations (commands) that appear on toolbars and menus in all the ArcGIS for Desktop applications. There are several types of commands:

When To Use

Use the ICommand interface to query the properties of a COM command or to create your own COM command.

When you are creating a new COM command, you must implement the ICommand interface in your class code. This interface determines the behavior and properties of simple commands such as buttons and menu items. For example, the ICommand interface sets command properties such as caption, name, category, bitmap, statusbar message, tooltip, help context id and help file, enabled state, and checked state. It also defines what action happens when the command is clicked.

Members

Remarks

Even if you do not have to write code for all the properties and methods on the ICommand interface to meet the requirements of your command design, you must at least create stub code for all of the properties and methods.

When you implement ICommand to create a custom command, you will find that your class constructor and destructor are called more than once per session.  Commands are constructed once initially to get information about them, like the name, bitmap, etc and then they are destroyed.  When the final, complete construction takes place, the OnCreate method gets called.  OnCreate gets called only once, so you can rely on it to perform initialization of member variables.  You can check for initialized member variables in the class destructor to find out if OnCreate has been called previously.
