HACK
After you have found the command bar, you now have the key used with the
commandBars collection. As another example, here is the code to get a refer-
ence to the Debug command bar:
CommandBar commandBar = (CommandBar)commandBars["Debug"];
The Command Browser makes it easy to find the elusive names of com-
mand bars so you can add commands from your add-ins to those command
bars.
HACK
#91
Change the Icon for Your Add-in Hack #91
Learn how to replace that not-so-lovely smiley face of an icon for your add-in.
By default, when you create a new Visual Studio add-in, you are given a
goofy smiley face icon as the icon for your add-in. If you plan on sending
your add-in out to anyone, I highly recommend creating your own icon or
setting it to a more appropriate built-in icon. Customizing the icon used
with your add-in is not as easy as it should be. In this hack, you will learn
the steps needed to create this custom icon, and then ensure that it is
installed properly with your add-in.
