Integrate my stuff into another app.

Hello,

You know how you can integrate (add an icon) into Word to create PDF files? How can I do that so that my applcation is accessible from within another application using an icon?

Hope that makes sense.

Word uses Automation to allow you to access its "stuff".

For other applications, you need to subclass the application window, and insert a menu item, toolbar button, whatever yourself. Then handle all of its messages.

This isn't a simple task. If you want a toolbar button, you need to get the handle of the window, the handle of the toolbar, then create a toolbar button using the information you've gathered.

How familiar are you with the Win32 APIs?
