TaskSetupButton – Saving Settings & Adding Commands

In this lesson, we finalize the task configuration logic by implementing the Task Setup Button hook. You will learn how to distinguish between “OK” and “Cancel” events to persist administrator settings and how to dynamically add custom menu commands to the SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer interface.

Key Takeaway:

• • • The “OK” vs. “Cancel” Logic: Learning how to read the EmdCmd.mbsComment to prevent saving unwanted changes.

• • File Explorer Integration: Adding your task to the right-click menu in Windows File Explorer using SetMenuCmds.

• • The Full Test: Verifying that your “Description” and “Document Number” settings persist even after closing the vault.
