Hello,
I am trying to make a Syntax Highlighted TextEditor, and I have one problem.

How I can make a tools menu? (like list of user-defined commands in MenuStrip (for example compiler))

And how I can save this list to XML configuration file? (app.config)

Thank you for all ideas,

VitekST

Not quite enough information. Are you using System.VisualStudio.Tools?

Can this help you? Assuming you are using VS2008 and trying to develop add-ons for this version, please see:

Menu data itself is not related to app.config.

Hmmm...

Sorry, I thought it differently.

I am making Syntax Highlighting Editor, I take it as future IDE. So, I need to know, how I can make tools menu (for compiler, for example) for this future Syntax Highlighted Editor.

Not the addin for Visual Studio.

Thank you and sorry for bad english,
VitekST

I have no idea how can you make such tool without Visual Studio SDK. If you mean doing it totally outside studio, the problem would be too trivial to discuss; the answer would be: "used the usual way provided by the UI library you use" (by the way, you did not tag what library you want to use).

I already told you in my comment to the question: not enough information. So, I took the most natural guess, and this is not my fault it you wanted something else.
