I would like to know how to add a new button in the toolbar of the Team
Explorer (TE), which will provide a extended cusom function. Is the TE
developed as a VsPackage? If so, do I have to know the GUID and the CommandId
header files of the Team Explorer VsPacakge?

The PcwTESample in the VSTS SDK shows only adding new nodes in the TE.

Any help or reference would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jason,

According to sample code at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb166773(vs.80).aspx, what we
needed is the Toolbar ID for Team Explorer.

I'm currently consulting this information in our internal discussion list.
I'll keep you posted as soon as I get further information. Thank you for
your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Thank you for pointing me to the similar example. That is helpful.

However, in order to add a button to the TE, I need to know the
GUID/CommandId pair of the TE toolbar group. Could you tell where I can find
this information?

Thanks!

Walter,
Can you post the answer to the group when you find out? We are working
on a plug in and would like it in the Team Explorer bar as well.

Thank You,
Ross Boe

Hi,

The toolbar in the Team Explorer toolwindow is defined in the Team
Explorer's .CTC file as follows:

// Team Explorer toolbar
guidELeadPEPackageCmdSet:itbrTeamExplorerToolbar,
guidELeadPEPackageCmdSet:0, 0x000, TOOLWINDOWTOOLBAR,
"Team Explorer";

Where:

#define itbrTeamExplorerToolbar 0x300
DEFINE_GUID(guidELeadPEPackageCmdSet,
0x23d49123, 0x60ac, 0x4d7e, 0x93, 0x9a, 0xe0, 0x1a, 0x4e, 0x17, 0x6b, 0xee);

I believe these information should help to add a custom command to it use
the similar approach in my first reply. Please feel free to let me know if
there's anything unclear.
