Connecting Add-ins to the Development Environment
After you create and build your add-in, you need to connect it to the IDE to make its commands and methods available.
To connect an add-in to the IDE
On the Platform Builder Tools menu, choose Customize.
Choose the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.
Choose the Browse button to locate the appropriate DLL.
Load the appropriate add-in by selecting the box next to its name.
A check mark indicates that the add-in is loaded. This check mark also directs Platform Builder to automatically load the add-in when you start Platform Builder again.
Note If you remove the check mark from an add-in, you will unload it. When you unload it, the add-in loses all of its toolbar and keystroke assignments. Additionally, if you remove the check mark, Platform Builder will not automatically load the add-in when you start Platform Builder again.
