If you are using an add-in created by someone else, and it does not have a toolbar button, you can create one through the user interface.

To create a toolbar button through the user interface

1. Connect the add-in to Developer Studio.

2. On the Tools menu, click Customize.

3. Click the Commands tab.

4. In the Categories box, click Add-ins.

5. Select a toolbar button.

   Tip   When you select the button, it displays a description of the command carried out by the button.

6. Drag the appropriate button to an existing toolbar, or drag it elsewhere in the main window to create a new toolbar for the button.

Additionally, Visual C++ provides other ways of using toolbar buttons to customize your desktop environment. For details, see Overview: Customizing Visual C++.
