SUMMARY
This article describes how the description that is listed in the Add-In Manager for each registered add-in can be set and changed from the Visual Basic for Windows integrated design environment (IDE).



MORE INFORMATION
The following steps describe how to change the description for an add-in that is listed in the Add-In Manager. For example purposes, these instructions modify the Add-In Manager title for the Data Form Designer (VB\SAMPLES\DATAWIZ) sample.


 * 1) Activate the class module whose description should be changed. For the Data Form Designer (DFD), this class module is named DFDCLASS.CLS.
 * 2) Open the Object Browser by pressing F2 or clicking Object Browser on the View menu. The Object Browser is displayed, and for the DFD, the selected "Library/Project" is listed as "DataFormDesigner."
 * 3) Ensure that the class module that needs to have the description changed is selected in the "Classes/Modules" list box. In this case the selected item should be "DFDClass."
 * 4) Click the Options button to open the Options dialog box.
 * 5) In the "Description" text box, modify the string to whatever should be displayed by the Add-In Manager. Click OK and then click Close to exit. The project should now be saved and recompiled so that the changes will take effect when the add-in is used.
