Addin with own main menu entry

[Rainer Queck]

Hello NG,

I am currently working on a addin for VS2005 to have a couple of funtions
available I need.
Now I would extend/improve my add in, and there I have a couple of
questions:

1.)
Currently my AddIn shows up as a sub-entry to Tools, but I would like to add
my own entry to the main menu in the same row with File, Project.....
How can I achieve this?

2.)
How can I add sub-menues (equivalant to "File->Open->...")

3.)
How can I add my own Icon(s) to the sub menues

Thanks for any hints, links and help on these questions.

Regards
Rainer Queck

See http://www.mztools.com/articles/2005/MZ003.htm
The code example shows this.
