Add-in Connection and Disconnection (Windows CE 5.0)
When the IDE starts, it loads all add-ins checked with Add-ins and Macro Files.
The IDE loads each add-in by calling the IDSAddIn::OnConnection method exposed by the add-in PBAddIn Object.
The IApplication::SetAddInInfo method of the IApplication Interface provides the IDE with essential information such as a handle to the add-in DLL and bitmap resources identifiers for the toolbar.
The OnConnection method also makes the commands exposed by the add-in available for the user to carry out, and it connects the add-in to any specified events if the add-in contains event handlers.
When the IDE quits, it unloads each add-in by calling the IDSAddIn::OnDisconnection method exposed by the add-in PBAddIn object.
