Title: using icons and menu separators on add-in
Post by: domi55 on April 26, 2012, 04:33:35 am

Is it somehow possible to use icons and menu separators like in the following example within my add-in?

Hi,

I'm afraid that's not possible. AFAIK you can only manipulate your own menu entries using the EA_GetMenuItems() and EA_GetMenuState() callback methods. These don't support icon output parameters at all.
You might try to provide a separator returning an empty string with the EA_GetMenuItems() mehod.

You can add separators. IIRC you need to send a '-' as entry. Just see the help.

And I've learned recently that you can also use checkbox thingies as well by setting IsChecked = true in the GetMenuState
