Description

The SetCommand method is used when developing with the C++ API, and is called by the AoToolbarAddCommand and AoToolbarAddTool functions. It associates a custom Command/Tool with an instance of the CommandHost/ToolHost. Whenever an ICommand/ITool method on the CommandHost/ToolHost gets called it uses the pointer to forward the call to the custom Command/Tool.
