Ho To find out the id of a menu command in OrCAD

We partially use Menu commands like File::Save in our tcl code.
This works fine, as long as the OrCAD UI is in English. but we want to be more language independent, so based on antother question we know that the MenuCommand ID for the PartManager is "14604"

How can we find out the ID's of the available MenuCommands e.g. for File::Save

Thanks

Answering my own question:
looks like the id's are defined in OrCAD_Capture.xml file.

But apparently not all of the id's do work (maybe context specific, so have to check them directly in tcl code to not lose the context)

Hi guys,

need to get the commandID of "View::Variant View Mode"

I do not find it in any of the xml files. Seems to me that it might be hardcoded in the dll's. But because of the language issues and that we have to control vs. having an API, we will be in trouble on systems running different UI languages

No, and it appears that there is no menu id.
It seems the string is hardcoded in the OrCAD dll for now
