//! \ingroup OpenMayaUI MPx
//! \brief Base class for context creation commands 
/*!
This is the base class for context creation commands.

The purpose of this command class is to create instances of
user contexts derived from <b>MPxContext</b>,
and to allow the MEL programmer to edit and query
various properties of the context related to this command.

The user will derive off of this class and override the <b>makeObj</b> method
which will be called when this command is invoked in Maya.

The context command is registered in Maya
using MFnPlugin::registerContextCommand
