CommandMethod CommandFlags default

[pfluegge30167]

Do you know the default CommandFlags of this simple command [CommandMethod("myCommandName")] ?

I want to extend commands with helpfile, so I need to specify CommandFlags like this

[CommandMethod(null, "myCommand", null, commandFlags, null, "myHelpFile.chm", "")].

Hi,

As far as I know The CommandFlags default is 0 (i.e. CommandFlags.Modal).

See the docs for CommandFlags Enumeration (.NET) and AcEdCommand::commandFlags (C++).

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple=true, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class CommandMethodAttribute : Attribute, ICommandLineCallable
{
    // Methods
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string globalName);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string globalName, CommandFlags flags);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, CommandFlags flags);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, string localizedNameId, CommandFlags flags);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, string localizedNameId, CommandFlags flags, string helpTopic);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, string localizedNameId, CommandFlags flags, Type contextMenuExtensionType);
    public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, string localizedNameId, CommandFlags flags, Type contextMenuExtensionType, string helpFileName, string helpTopic);

    // Properties
    public virtual string HelpTopic { get; }
    public virtual string HelpFileName { get; }
    public virtual Type ContextMenuExtensionType { get; }
    public virtual CommandFlags Flags { get; }
    public virtual string GroupName { get; }
    public virtual string LocalizedNameId { get; }
    public virtual string GlobalName { get; }
}

These are the attribute signatures ( from reflection )

and the main method 

public CommandMethodAttribute(string groupName, string globalName, string localizedNameId, CommandFlags flags, Type contextMenuExtensionType, string helpFileName, string helpTopic)
    {
        this.m_groupName = groupName;
        this.m_globalName = globalName;
        this.m_localizedNameId = localizedNameId;
        this.m_flags = flags;
        this.m_contextMenuExtensionType = contextMenuExtensionType;
        this.m_helpFileName = helpFileName;
        this.m_helpTopic = helpTopic;
    }
