Enhancing ViewPoint with Add-ins __________________________
Add-ins are custom executable (.exe) files or Dynamic Link Library (.dll) files that add extra
functionality to Strata CS ViewPoint. Add-ins can enhance ViewPoint with custom toolbar or
menu options, or process data behind the scenes, for example, monitoring incoming calls for
Caller ID that matches certain criteria.
Strata CS comes with one sample Add-in, called Reverse Phone Number Lookup. See
the Reverse Phone Number Lookup sample Add-in" on page
Add-ins using the Strata CS SDK's Add-in API, as described in the Strata CS SDK and API
Programming Guide, located in the \Manuals directory of the Strata CS Master CD.
