Top Level Browser Node

[NachoShaw]

Hi

In a part, is it possible to hook into the right click menu of the top level node Solid Bodies folder to add an extra button?

Thanks

Hi,

its possible to do this by catching the "OnContextMenu" event.

C#

inventor.CommandManager.UserInputEvents.OnContextMenu += onContextMenu;

And  then checking if the top node was selected.

c#

private void onContextMenu(SelectionDeviceEnum SelectionDevice, NameValueMap AdditionalInfo, CommandBar CommandBar)
{
    // random ControlDefinition for demo
    ControlDefinition oCtrlDef = inventor.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions["AppZoomAllCmd"];

    // check if the menu is in the browser
    if (SelectionDevice == SelectionDeviceEnum.kBrowserSelection)
    {
        Document oDoc = inventor.ActiveDocument;
        // loop over all BrowserNodes under topnode. 
        // pay attension for sheetmetal parts because the node tree is different!
        foreach (BrowserNode node in oDoc.BrowserPanes["Model"].TopNode.BrowserNodes)
        {
            // check if the selected node is the "Solid bodies" node. 
            if (node.Selected == true && node.BrowserNodeDefinition.Label.Contains("Solid Bodies("))
            {
                // add your ControlDefinition to the menu/CommandBar
                CommandBar.Controls.AddButton((ButtonDefinition)oCtrlDef, 1);
            }
        }
    }
}

Here i added the zoom all control
