Title: add in - hello world
Post by: jumbie on April 02, 2006, 02:41:32 am

Hi all,

I use VB 6.0 and I am newbie in creating Add-Ins in EA. The technique in EA Help is not enough for me – my code and settings are not correct, and I don’t know, where the mistake is.  

Is it possible for anybody to send me description of any small application like “add in - hello world!”  with description how to connect it, what must be set, how to debug it and how to finish it to installations? After it, I may be able to find out my mistakes .  

Maybe some detailed instructions “add-in in EA for dummies” exist and somebody can send me only the link.  

Thanks for help!

Wasn't there an example delivered with EA? I have published a Perl example on EA Usergroup. It should be easy to translate that to VB.

...oh, oh, … the problem is solved and I need new strong glasses! The position of Add In key in registry is not

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\AddIns

(it exists in registry and I used it…)

but

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins

(it must be created as a new key what is written in Help).

Now my “hello world” is saying hello correctly…

Thanks
