Common Context Menu Constants
[From the prolific pen of Douglas Hodges. Continued at Common Web Context Menu Constants]
Common menu constants used by VSIP’s in extending project systems:
- "Project" top-level menu: IDM_VS_MENU_PROJECT
Solution Explorer toolbar: IDM_VS_TOOL_PROJWIN
Common project context menus that apply when a single node is selected in the Solution Explorer, or when there is multiple homogenous selection in the Solution Explorer (i.e., all selected nodes are of the same type):
- IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE – applies when the project node is selected
IDM_VS_CTXT_ITEMNODE – applies when a file is selected
IDM_VS_CTXT_FOLDERNODE – applies when a folder is selected
IDM_VS_CTXT_WEBREFFOLDER – applies when the Web Reference folder is selected
IDM_VS_CTXT_REFERENCEROOT – applies when the references root node ("References") is selected
IDM_VS_CTXT_REFERENCE – applies when a reference node is selected (assembly, COM, and project references only – not web references)
These context menus apply when the selection in the Solution Explorer spans multiple hierarchies:
- IDM_VS_CTXT_XPROJ_SLNPROJ – applies when the current selection contains the solution node and root project node(s).
IDM_VS_CTXT_XPROJ_SLNITEM – applies when the current selection contains the solution node and project item(s).
IDM_VS_CTXT_XPROJ_MULTIPROJ – applies when the current selection consists of multiple root project nodes only.
IDM_VS_CTXT_XPROJ_PROJITEM – applies when the current selection contains a mix of root project node(s) and project item(s). In addition, the selection may or may not contain the solution node.
IDM_VS_CTXT_XPROJ_MULTIITEM – applies when the current selection contains project items from multiple projects within the solution, or when items of different types are selected within the same project.
Common groups within IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE context menu:
- IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_BUILD – build, rebuild, deploy the project
IDG_VS_CTXT_COMPILELINK – compilation/linking
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_CONFIG – configurations and build order
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_ADD – adding items to the project
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_START – setting the startup project for F5 action
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_SAVE – saving items
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_DEBUG – debugging commands
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_SCC – source control operations
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_TRANSFER – cut/copy/paste operations
IDG_VS_CTXT_PROJECT_PROPERTIES – access to project properties dialog------------------------------------

I need to add a menu to the context menu that will appear when you right click on a tab in visual studio. What do you call that menu?
