Visual C++ add-ins??

[billrogers]

Is it possible to develop an add-in for visual C++ ide?? For example, I have a program that will excute some shell commands, and then ftp files to certain computers, but it gets real annoying having to go execute this all the time.

Can I somehow make/add it to the ide, so I just click a button and it will execute my program??

And then take it a step further add a text box as well to give some input and then click the button to kick it off.

Thanks in advance for any input...
Bill

No one has any ideas on this??

I got it, I can just add a new item to the tools menu. Cool beans, Thanks for anyone that might have been looking into this...

I know it's possible... I have seen two programs so far that do this... they add two new menus... they also add two new toolbars... and they show up when you are looking at the about dialog...

I don't have any info on how to do this.... except for the fact that it is possible... Maybe this will help make your quest seem less of a waste of time? And if you do find out... I wouldn't mind knowing... I know I have pondered it, but never really did much research.



Oh yah the programs that I know do are Purify and Quantify... both developed by Rational.
