In this course, we move beyond the tedious “rebuild and reload” cycle by setting up a professional debugging environment in Visual Studio. We demonstrate how to use an external program like Notepad to host our add-in, allowing us to test code changes and menu hierarchies in real-time. Finally, we walk through creating nested submenus, ensuring your custom tools remain organized and professional within the PDM interface.
KeyTakeaway :
- Fast Debugging: Link an external program in Visual Studio to test code without manual re-installs.Notepad Hack: Use Notepad’s File → Open dialog to quickly trigger and test your add-in within the vault.
- Menu Organization: Create clean, nested submenus using the AddCmd method for a better UI.
- Environment Tip: Always debug on local drives to avoid “Class Not Registered” errors.
