Example Adding AddOn to Control Center Tools Menu

[jeronymite]

Is there an example of how to add an AddOn to the Control Center Tools menu (or Help or other menus too)? The online AddOn examples show how to add to the New menu, and hint at how to add to other menus in a comment ...

Other menus can be accessed via the control's "Automation ID"; e.g. toolsMenuItem, workspacesMenuItem, connectionsMenuItem, helpMenuItem

... but a working example would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

The process is the same for any menu item you just need to know the automation ID. You can find some details about how to locate the automation ID's in the following post: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...775#post752775

The Inspect tool can be used to observe the ID's of various controls in a window and observe its visual tree. Keep in mind this area is not documented so there are no samples surrounding using the inspect tool or this type of design. There is a provided extension method for controls "FindFirst" which can use automation ID's to target a control but beyond that your WPF knowledge will play a key role in this exploration.

ControlCenterMenuItemTools is the ID of the tools menu:
