Invoke a menu command   

Hi all,

       i need to call a command in the main menu of VS (exactly the
"Connect to Server" one).

I'm doing the following:

OleMenuCommandService mcs = GetService(typeof(IMenuCommandService)) as
OleMenuCommandService;
if (null != mcs)
{
            int commandid = 0;
            CommandID conntoserver = new
CommandID(VsMenus.guidSHLMainMenu, commandid);
            mcs.FindCommand(conntoserver).Invoke();

}

But I cant find anyware a list of (constants?) ids of commands in vs
menus.

Any suggestion?

TIA

Re: Invoke a menu command   

Start the macro recorder - tools - macros etc.  then punch that menu item 
manually and see what the macro VB script spits out.

It'll be what you can call in your code.

If that doesn't work there are a few addins out there that you can use to 
get the CommandID for your specific item of interest.
