IMenuButton

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The IMenuButton interface enables the user to add and manage menu buttons for a snap-in. MMC provides one menu bar per view and when a snap-in has focus you can add one or more menu buttons for it to this bar. These buttons are always added by appending them to the buttons already in the menu bar.

When to Implement

You do not implement the IMenuButton interface. It is implemented by the Microsoft Management Console.

When to Use

You should use the IMenuButton interface whenever your snap-in requires or can benefit from having one or more additional menu buttons in the MMC menu bar for the particular view. To access the IMenuButton interface your snap-in must implement the IExtendControlbar interface. When MMC invokes your IExtendControlbar::SetControlbar it passes an IControlbar interface. You can create an IMenuButton interface by calling the IControlbar::Create method.
