Allows you to register an add-in, load or unload it, and set its load behavior. If you close only the visible portions of an add-in (by double-clicking its system menu or by clicking its Close button, for example), its forms disappear from the screen, but the add-in is still present in memory. The Add-in object itself will always stay resident in memory until the add-in is disconnected through the Add-In Manager dialog box.
To open the Add-In Manager, select Add-In Manager from the Add-Ins menu.
The following table describes the dialog box options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Available Add-Ins (Add-Ins list) | Lists available add-ins. |
| Load Behavior (Add-Ins list) | Displays the load behavior for the selected add-in. |
| Description | Displays a description of what the add-in does. |
| Load Behavior | Loaded/Unloaded check box: Loads or unloads the selected add-in.
Load On Startup check box: Loads the selected add-in on startup of the development environment. Command Line check box: Loads the selected add-in when the development environment is started from the command prompt or from a script. |
| OK | Updates the load behavior of selected add-ins. |
| Cancel | Cancels all updates made in session. |
