Members

	Member name	Description
	ext_cm_AfterStartup	The add-in was loaded after Visual Studio started.
	ext_cm_CommandLine	The add-in was loaded from the command line.
	ext_cm_External	The add-in was loaded by an external client. (This setting is no longer used by Visual Studio.)

	ext_cm_Startup	The add-in was loaded when Visual Studio started.

Remarks

Add-ins can check the value of ext_ConnectMode to change its behavior. For example, the ext_cm_UISetup value indicates to the add-in that this is the first time it has been run. If so, the add-in can add its custom commands to the menu and toolbar. Otherwise, it can skip this step.
