GUIDs and IDs of Visual Studio Toolbars

  • Article

This topic enumerates the GUID and ID values of the toolbars that are included in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE), and of the groups they contain. These values are defined in .vsct files that are installed as part of the Visual Studio SDK. For more information, see IDE-Defined Commands, Menus, and Groups.

Note

Many of the toolbars available to Visual Studio are not defined by Visual Studio, and their GUID and ID values are not public. This topic lists only toolbars that are defined in Visual Studio SDK .vsct files.

For more information about how to work with IDE objects that are defined in .vsct files, see Common Tasks with User Interface Elements.

The default toolbars provided by the Visual Studio IDE use the GUID guidSHLMainMenu, except where otherwise specified by using GUID:ID syntax.

IDE Toolbars

The following toolbars are provided by the Visual Studio IDE. Toolbars can be displayed by selecting them on the Toolbars submenu of the Tools menu. Toolbars in tool windows are not included in this section.

Only groups can descend directly from toolbars. To add a group, set its parent to the GUID and ID of the toolbar. To add a button to a toolbar, set its parent to a group on the toolbar.

Tool Window Toolbars

Toolbars can appear directly in the IDE or in tool windows such as Solution Explorer. Because tool windows are not defined in .vsct files, tool window toolbars do not have defined parents. Instead, they are placed in code. The following table shows the toolbars that appear on tool windows in the IDE, and the command groups they contain.

Note

Toolbars and groups use the GUID guidSHLMainMenu, except where otherwise specified by using GUID:ID syntax. Where a GUID is specified for a toolbar, it also applies to the groups that descend from that toolbar.
