Creating Menu Button for Plug-In

Question

I've got a problem creating a Menu Button which should open the GUI of my Plug-In. I'm using the code from the examples and createt the classes as shown. 
 [Sdl.Desktop.Platform.CommandBars.Action( Id = "mypluginbutton", Name = "MyPluginAction_Name", Description = "MyPluginAction_ToolTipText")] [ToolBarLocation(ToolBarId = "StandardToolBar")] [MenuLocation(MenuId = "FileMenu")] 
 Is is somehow possible that i can create a new button in the top toolbar, a.e. beside "help"? 
 And, just as a yes/no question: in the examples you just use the user control. Is is also possible to use a form?

Hi, 
 this is not possible yet, we are working on a new public API which will offer this and much more functionality for integrating functionality into the Studio.

yep, at the moment we do not offer public API to integrate with the Studio application UI per say, only via filters/verifiers.

that would be the same - not at the moment but it's part of the API under development
