Member name Description
ext_cm_AfterStartup The add-in was loaded after 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.
