SUMMARY
=======
There are no methods available for customizing or modifying the Visual C++
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) programmatically. The Developer Studio
object model provides methods to automate tasks in Visual C++, but it doesn't
provide methods to modify the Visual C++ IDE. So, you cannot add menu commands,
toolbars, and so forth to the Visual C++ IDE programmatically.
An add-in created for Visual C++ using either Visual C++ or Microsoft Visual
Basic can create and display a toolbar with toolbar buttons in the Visual C++
IDE using the Application.AddCommandBarButton method. This is the only method
that the Visual C++ object model provides for displaying a toolbar control
within the IDE programmatically. For further information on add-ins, see the
following Microsoft Web pages:
