Some question about add-in
-
Hello everyone, I try to create an add-in C# for Visual Studio 2005. I want to create a toolbar look like Visual Assist X but I don't know how. And I want to customize right-click-menu of TextEditor in VS 2005. I have too little ebook C# about add-in. May you introduce or send me some ebooks? Thanks lots. You're very nice to help me. Thanks lots.

Add-ins are cool, but they are an advanced topic and will require lots of reading and lots of TESTING to understand. If you haven't had a lot of experience, you may have to wait a while before you will understand it. I've been doing this stuff for 25 years and I had a lot of trouble getting started, which is why my Source control program isn't released yet. What I'm saying is, this topic is wicked confusing, and you just need to jump in and sink or swim. Take what you know so far and try making something simple, then come back here when you have some more specific questions. Sounds like you have a good start with some materials to read, and here's another article you can try to help you get started. Good luck! http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mgold/AddIns11292005015631AM/AddIns.aspx[^] And note: by something simple I mean an add-in that puts up a toolbar that doesn't do anything, and a context menu that doesn't do anything. So many programmers want to start with more than that... always start with what I call "The Null Program" which just sets up the runtime environment and exits. It's even more basic than Hello World, and I start every new project by actually compiling and running that program... even after 25 years.

So true, so true.

http://www.smoothjazzy.com/ - see the "Programming" section for freeware tools and articles.Thanks. I can create a simple add-in such as adding a text, calling a command intellisense, calling a command about region... I think I can customize ToolBox (just like how to customize MenuBar) , but I can't customize ToolBar by that way. Can you help me ? Thanks lots. -- modified at 5:06 Monday 25th June, 2007

Your question is too general. You need to be more specific about what problem you are having. That's why you got flamed. We can't answer this for you in a timely manner. A good answer to your question would be many pages long. There are probably tutorials on the subject, but I assume you have read them already... you know, since you are posting a forum question. You just need to be more specific in your question. Define your problem carefully and make a new thread. This one is dead and buried.

Yeah I know what you're talkin about. That tutorial doesn't really cover it... you need to look into the technical documentation and figure it out yourself, building on your knowledge of toolbars and context menus in standard forms, combine that with what you know about Add-ins, and figure it out. This is an advanced topic and you will not find an article that simply tells you how to do it. This is where programming gets fun... embrace the problem and dive into it and figure it out as you go along. Nobody can help you do that. It is going to take hours, maybe days, of research, study and experimentation. The subject is difficult, and you are going to have to do a lot of work to figure it out. Accept that and stop asking for someone to hand-hold you through it. Dig in and get to work. I would help you if I could, but I can't move your fingers for you... Everyone else ignored this question... you need to think about why. I answered it because I like to bitch at n00bz.
