Creating a menu in solidworks 08
sundarland
I have developed a API in solidworks using macro and Visual Basic. I
would like to know if I can add this macro program in the menubar of
solidworks.

yes you can do this. It's explained pretty well in the SolidWorks Api.
Just search for "Assign SolidWorks Macro to Button" and you should be
able to find the article.

I want to add a new Menu at particular position. I.e. before "Help"
CommandManager::CreateCommandGroup() function takes position{long} as an
argument.
e.g.
hres =
iCmdMgr->CreateCommandGroup(1,title,tooltiple,hint,position,&icmdGroup);
I tried to get the position of 'Help' menu by following 2 approaches
// Approach 1
1. Get Command Group for HELP menu - Couldn't succeed here
2. Get Menu position for the command group
// Approach 2
1. Get All command groups from Command manager. - I get Command
Group count as 0. I think the CommandManager::NumberOfGroups() function
returns 0
2. Iterate through them and find the 'Help' menu group by name
3. Get the position
Can any body help here ?
Or is there another approach for this ?
Thanks.

I think my approaches were wrong.
Command manager and command groups are only applicable for custom add-in
menus added by user.
But still remains the main question.
How to get a position of a particular menu ( Menu group) in SolidWorks so
that we can add/position a new custom menu before or after it ?
e.g. how to position a new custom command group before 'Help' menu ?
Thanks.
