On User Command

When it is launched

The event occurs when calling a user command (provided that a corresponding item is added to the main menu or on the toolbar).

User command identifiers can be represented in the form of CI_UserCommand + <non-negative integer>.

Parameters

Name Type Access Description
CommandId TCommandID Read/write The identifier of the user command
Context IMainWindow Read/write The main window of the application

Note: To add a user command to the main menu or on the toolbar, you must use AppendItem / InsertItem and AppendButton /InsertButton methods of the IMenu interface and the IToolbar interface respectively. The command identifiers CI_UserCommand or CI_UserCommand + <non-negative integer> must be used.

The sample code below demonstrates how to add a menu item for a user command with a command identifier CI_UserCommand + 1.

ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID userCommand = ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID.CI_UserCommand;
ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID userCommand1 = (ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID) ((int)userCommand + 1);
IMenu menu = MainWindow.MainMenu[0].Submenu;
menu.AppendItem( userCommand1, "User command" );

A toolbar button or a menu item added for a user command will be disabled unless a handler of the On User Command event is added.

The sample code below demonstrates processing the On User Command event.

ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID commandID = ( ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID )( CommandId );
ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID userCommand = ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID.CI_UserCommand;
ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID userCommand1 = (ABBYY.FlexiCapture.ClientUI.TCommandID) ((int)userCommand + 1);
if( commandID == userCommand1 ) {
<... call necessary methods here ...>
