Desksite addins

Hello -

I'm looking to create an addin to DeskSite 8.x, and need to add a menu item to the documents menu.

Can anyone tell me if the registry modifications listed in the manual 'Creating custom commands in worksite'; chapter: Defining an add-in, are still supported?

Thanks
Matt

To add a bit of clarification, the reason I'm asking is that I need to modify the menu structure for an app I've developed - the app will be distributed commercially.

Modifying:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\DeskSite\Commands\Menus\Document\Command

Works great, but I have a concern about modifying this key when there is the potential that a client has already customized it for their own situation. I'd prefer to be able to add a whole new key structure somewhere that doesn't run this risk.

Thanks
Matt

You should use the instructions under Defining an Addin to avoid this problem.

The key has slightly changed for 8.0. The path of HKLM\...\iThinClient has now changed to HKLM\...\8.0\Desksite.

Many thanks, that's got it working. One question - my command now appears under the document menu, but I'd also like it to appear in one of the desksite context menus. Specifically, when right clicking a document in a search result list. Is this possible with an add-on?

Thanks

In that case, you might need to place your progid in this key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\FileSite\Commands\Document]

The commands to the ProgID's listed under this key will appear in the document popup menu as well as in the toolbar menu. Basically, this key is a catch-all for the document menu.
