How does the DSC toolkit modify LV menu's?

I have noticed that many of the NI toolkits modify the LV menu's. Could
anyone explain how this is accomplished and if it is possible to gain access
to this mechanism.

It's actually quite easy. You just put your library in the "Projects" sub directory.

Yep. There are several places you can place VIs to have them show up in
the editing environment. The project directory adds menu items to the
Tools menu. A directory will add a menu pull-right and VIs show up as a
menu item.

The Help menu and Help directory are linked in the same way. The
easiest way to add items to the control or function palette is to add
them to either the user.lib or perhaps to the add-ons directory within
the vi.lib directory. Be careful of this last one since if an updater
messes up it may delete your VIs. Actually that is true of all these
directories except for user.lib.
