Check / uncheck add-in menu option

[Tehila1]

Hello,

I would like to set my add-in menu item to be checked/unchecked as the EA built-in menu in Project -> Version Control -> Work Offline.

Is it possible to do so, using the API?

Hello,

with the simple Addin I think it isn't possible.

You may develop your Addin as an ActiveX Addin.

Then you have your own window as an EA Window. You are able to make powerful Addins with a reasonable GUI.

Geerts Navigator is in example of this. Also my published Addins us this powerful technology. I think Geert has a simple example from where you can start.

The EA_GetMenuState function provides a parameter you can set to true to mark your command as checked, but I'm not sure if you can work out when EA is in that state.

Thanks for your response.
Can I override the event using the addin menu item?
How can I access it? By name?
