When To Use

A CommandItem is any item on a commandbar. For example, buttons, tools, and menu items that appear on commandbars are all commanditems. The ICommandItem interface allows you to get or set the properties of the commanditem such as caption, button image, statusbar message, tooltip, display style, help context ID, and more. The ICommandItem interface also provides methods to execute, delete, refresh, and reset the commanditem. Use ICommandBars::Find, ICommandBar::Find, or ICommandBar::Item to obtain a reference to a particular commanditem.
