How does MDG AddIn MDG_Connect actually work?

[g.makulik]

I don't get from the EA AddIn API documentation how to connect packages to a particular MDG AddIn by implementing the MDG_Connect() event.

In particular I don't get how this event is triggered by the user.

I'm returning the "MDG" string from the EA_Connect() implementation and all MDG event methods are implemented (I'm using Geert's EA AddIn Framework).

I don't see any package context menu option to connect a package to the MDG Addin. It's mentioned in the reference that

MDG Add-Ins receive MDG Events and extra menu options.

What do these 'extra menu options' look like, and where they're received?

Any help appreciated,
Günther

When a package is selected there is an item 'Connect External Project'. in the extensions menu. That should contain an item for all MDG add-ins.

THX Simon,

Now I see it: Extensions->Connect External Project

There was a problem with my actual AddIn's COM registration (a different version of my DLL was loaded).

There should be a note for the corresponding menu item in the docs though.

Best regards,
Günther
