An add-in is a custom DLL that conforms
to the specification of PageManager SDK, which exports
specific functions. The add-ins has the specific file
extension "CLK" for add-ins on the Application
Bar, "PMX" for other add-ins.
Customized Links on the Application Bar
of PageManager would be installed under "<PageManager
installation folder\addins\application bar>"
Customized Buttons on the Toolbar of PageManager would
be installed under "<PageManager installation
folder\addins\toolbar>"
Hook Functions for the startup or shutdown of PageManager
would installed under "<PageManager installation
folder\addins\hook functions>"
Developers
may build some services, which would start and stop together with
PageManager. With Hook Functions, some tasks could be started during
the startup of PageManager, and these tasks could be stopped before
shutdown of PageManager.
How
to create a Hook Function
The developer could create a special DLL with this SDK, rename that
DLL with the extension "PMX" and install that DLL under
the folder (install path\addins\hook functions), PageManager will
invoke that DLL during the startup and before shutdown.
For
more detailed information on this and other functions, developers can
reference the PageManager SDK documentation made available with this product.
