Command Methods (GisLink)

The following methods allow :

  • An Add-In (created using GisLink) to start system commands and
  • To add or remove application-specific commands from both the main menu and the context menu (local, right-button mouse menu.)

Add-Ins can also monitor the progress of system commands using Triggers.
