How to add a menu item into Visual Studio IDE with an Addin developed in VC++?

2 New Member
Hi guys!
How to add a menu item into Visual Studio 6.0 IDE from an Addin developed in Visual C++ 6.0?

When we create a simple addin using the Visual Studio wizard, it adds a tool bar button but not a menu item!

I have searched a lot, but only found few articles about C# and Visual Basic, where they use classes, such as CommandBarPopup, which is unavailable in Visual C++.

I appreciate your help.

Can you not use SetMenuItemBitmaps?

weaknessforcats, can't use it because I don't have the handle of the main menu of Visual Studio. I hope there is some Add-In class/function which returns this handle for me or that let's me to get a pointer to the VS menu, but I have no idea what it is.

Thanks for your answer.
