Creating Add-ins with the Add-in Wizard (Windows CE 5.0)
An efficient way to create an add-in is with the Add-in Wizard.
If you install Visual C++ 6.0 and then install Platform Builder, the Platform Builder Add-in Wizard is available when you start the Visual C++ 6.0 wizard.
However, if you install Platform Builder before installing Visual C++ 6.0, you must make the Platform Builder add-in available by manually copying the file PBAddInWiz.awx from <Platform Builder installation path>\Cepb\Bin to <DRIVE:>\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin\IDE.
To run the Add-in Wizard
- From the Visual Studio add-ins in the New Project dialog box, select Platform Builder Add-in.
The Add-in Wizard creates a basic add-in framework that you can run immediately after you finish. The wizard lets you supply a display name for the add-in, which appears in the Add-in Manager dialog box, and a description of the add-in.
You can optionally choose to have the wizard generate the code to add a command to the Tools menu for invoking the add-in, once it is loaded into the IDE. When the wizard finishes, you have a new project with a single item.
