2. Remove implementation code from the Bitmap property for the ICommand:
   
   

   Code:
   Private Property Get ICommand_Bitmap() As esriCore.OLE_HANDLE
     ' ICommand_Bitmap = <do not provide an icon>  
   End Property
   

   
   
3. Include implementation code for the Caption property. The value of the Caption is displayed when the Text Only option is selected for a Command.
   
   

   Code:
   Private Property Get ICommand_Caption() As String
       
       ' Add your implementation here
        ICommand_Caption = "My Command Caption"
       
   End Property
