## Content



[C1Command](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) has a **Link to Command** designer for the command items in the menus and toolbars controls so you can add commands to them or modify existing commands at design time.

### To access the Edit designer:

Click on any command item in the menu or toolbar control twice or right-click and select **Edit** from its context menu to open the **Link to Command** designer.

This dialog box is used to create new commands, edit existing ones, or link command links to commands. The same dialog box is used to edit command links in drop-down menus and toolbars. The **Link to Command** designer contains the following categories: Command properties, Create a new Command, Link to existing command, and Standard commands.

The following table lists and describes the functionality of the items in the **Link to Command** designer:

| Group Box | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Command properties** | The **Command properties** group box includes a **Name** text box and a **Text** text box. The Name text box displays the default command name for the command or you can enter a new command name. The Text text box displays the text that appears on the command item. |
| **Create New Command** | The **Create a new command** group box contains a list box of various command types to choose a specific command type for the new command. The radio button enables you to toggle between creating a new command and linking to an existing one in the **Link to existing command** list box. |
| **Link to Existing Command** | The **Link to existing command** group box displays a list box of commands already created on the form. When you select an item from this list, the Create New Command radio button is automatically unselected. |
| **Standard Commands** | The **Standard command** group box provides 54 built-in commands and 40 images for standard commands. When you select a standard command that includes a built-in image from the Standard commands list box, the preview image appears in the square box located in the Command properties group box. |
