Hi All,

I have created a custom template and I need to access it same way we can access the "Class..." and "Components..." in the project menu option.

Ex: C# class can be directly add by right clicking on project in the solution explore >> "Add" >> "Class"

This will directly select to the "C#" class template in "Add New Item" dialog.

First thing I want know is, how can I add menu option to the project menu >> "Add" sub menu?

Finally, how can I select my template directly when I select menu option.

Thanks,

Hi, Dushantha
Create a small vspackage with a menu could satisfy your needs.  You firstly create a small wizard with a menu command and then change the parent of the created menu Command ID in the VSCT file.
Like
 <Groups>
  <Group guid="guidVSPackage4CmdSet" id="MyMenuGroup" priority="0x0600">
        <Parent guid="guidSHLMainMenu" id="IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE"/>
  </Group>
  </Groups>
MyMenuGroup is your own menu group, and IDM_VS_CTXT_PROJNODE is your Context Menu Identifier, when you right click the project Node.(Sorry for not finding the Add Sub menu, because it is really hard to find the Add Sub menu identifier). The follow two links describe the VSCT XML file very clearly, you could learn from it.

For your second quesion. I think you can add your own item by using the EnvDTE.ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate method in the method CallBack funciton of your menu command.
