You can assign an add-in method to a menu command, to a toolbar icon or to a hot-key shortcut.

To do it, open the appropriate configuration file

The assignment to a menu command opens with <l:ShellMenuItem, that contains following statements:

•Header: the name of the option as it appears on the menu, enclosed in double-quotes. To mark a letter as an accellerator, use the underscore character "_".

•CommandParameter: this is where you type the name of the add-in method name, enclosed in double-quotes. If the method has parameters, in this statement do not specify them, but just the method name.

•Parameters: this is required only for assignments of methods with parameters. Here you type the method parameters, enclosed in double-quotes.

•The assignment closes with />.
