Declaring a user-defined add-in

You can create your own XML or ActiveX add-ins. For more information about the add-in creation procedure, see the Scripting User's Guide .

When you create an add-in you must declare it and enable it in the Add-ins page of the General Options dialog box.

Steps To declare a user-defined add-in:

  1. Select Tools→General Options, and then click the Add-Ins category.
  2. Click the Add New XML Add-in or Add New ActiveX add-in tool.
  3. Enter the name of your add-in in the Name box.
  4. Select the XML file corresponding to the XML add-in or select a DLL or an EXE file corresponding to the ActiveX file. You can also use the browse tool to select a file.
  5. (ActiveX only) Enter the name of the ActiveX implementation class in the Class box.
  6. Click OK.
