Icons in Addin Menus

[Matt]

Hi all,

we are currently trying to polish off an add-in and would like to add icons to the menus we are generating in the add-in.

Is there a way to do this?  Can't find anything in the notes or the forum.

Many thanks,

Matt

Never heard about that, but I also never looked for such feature. If the help does not list anything you should ask for an enhancement.

If you mean the toolbars, then there is apparently hope.

Some time ago one of the Sparxians posted that version 7.0 would support custom toolbar icons for profile elements. So, if you have access to the beta you might be in luck.

I have yet to test whether this is supported in beta 2, nor have I yet looked in for this in the beta 2 help (which is itself currently under construction).

So, there is partial support, assuming this covers your requirement.

Version 7.0 is also supposed to allow greater integration of add-in menu items into the main menu. I have not yet tested this, so cannot yet say if it works. Try looking it up, and see if the add-in API supports such a property. For this trial it would probably be best to use something like Visual Studio, or some other tool that queries the EA COM interface during development.

Hi David,
I think he's after the context menues from add-ins - and there's currently nothing.

Folks,

thanks for the input.  As mentioned it was only really to add polish to the add-in.  It is not critical to the functionality just makes the UI a better experience.

Thanks for the help.
