More Advanced Add-in Features

Adding, Editing and Deleting Add-ins

There are some more advanced operation that you can do using Add-in Manager dialog box.

You can register your own program or component as an add-in. To do it, click Add and use the Add-in Properties dialog box to specify the properties.
You can change properties for an add-in, menu text, shortcut, toolbar icon etc. To do it, select an add-in, click Edit and use the Add-in Properties dialog box to change some properties.
You can remove an add-in from the list of available add-ins. To do it, select an add-in and click Delete. Removing add-in from the list does not delete the add-in file from your disk.

These features are typically used only when you create your own add-ins. If you deal with standard QuickField add-ins only, you will not have to use these features.

Creating Your Own Add-ins

You can easily create your own add-ins, using Visual Basic or any other programming product that supports COM (C#, Visual C++, Delphi etc.).

With such add-ins, you can automate some of your tedious repeating tasks and make your interaction with QuickField more effective and convenient.
