.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Extensibility / January 2007IDTCommandTarget.QueryStatus and vsCommandStatusInvisible
Hello In a visual studio add-in (C#) I add a new command to the Commands collection and an associated control to the context menu of Solution Explorer. If I set the StatusOption to vsCommandStatusSuppported | vsCommandStatusInvisible in IDTCommandTarget::QueryStatus the control remains visible, though gray. I should expect that the control is not visible at all, basically I want to hide or show the context menu control depending on the file extension of the selected item. I found that this only works in the first session when the CommandBarButton control is newly added to the context menu. In subsequent sessions it is always displayed. To work around this problem I delete the CommandBarButton control in OnConnection and add it again to the context menu. The command is not deleted/added. Then the vsCommandStatusInvisible is respected. Is this a known bug? Thanks Dirk vsCommandStatusSupported | vsCommandStatusInvisible is not honored by a bug, according to MS. See the last post of the thread: http://groups.google.es/group/microsoft.public.vsnet.ide/tree/browse_frm/thread/ 7f7bab1c295af16f/b0e0ece3ea2de809 As a workaround if you do NOT return vsCommandStatusSupported, the command should remain invisible. In fact I think there was no need for the vsCommandStatusInvisible flag...  SignatureBest regards, Carlos J.

I tried vsCommandStatusUnsupported and also making no assignment in cases where I would use vsCommandStatusInvisible. This does not work, it is always visible (gray). I also found the thread you posted, but had hoped this only applies to VS 2003 and were fixed in VS 2005.

The reason that it never changes is because it is setup as a perm, rather then temp addin. See this article: http://www.itpost.cn/en/1965/posts/196564142.shtml Quick fix. In OnConnection, add the command when: connectMode = ext_ConnectMode.ext_cm_Startup not connectMode = ext_ConnectMode.ext_cm_UISetup EggHeadCafe.com - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
