Find Name of Selection Context Menu to programatically add Command to a Menu

KyleBeaver — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 09:56:26 GMT

I am attempting to add a Command to the Selection Context Menu that appears when the user Right Clicks in the main ArcMap window and has features selected. I have code written that uses an ArcMap 10 Extension to add commands to a Menu. I have not been able to find the name of the menu to add the command to. For example, I can use esriArcMapUI.FeatureLayerContextMenu to add the command to the Feature Layer Context Menu. I have not been able to find the name of the Selection Context Menu for the main ArcMap display.

Is there some location that lists all the menus and the corresponding names?

Even though this says ArcMap Commands it contains:

- Caption, name, and globally unique identifier (GUID) of the built-in toolbars in ArcMap.
- Caption, name, GUID, and parent of the built-in menus in ArcMap.
- Caption, name, command category (category in the Customize dialog box), GUID, SubType, parent, and description of the built-in commands that appear on the toolbars and menus in ArcMap.
