EA_GetMenuItems
The EA_GetMenuItems event enables the Add-In to provide the Enterprise Architect user interface with additional Add-In menu options in various context menus. When a user selects an Add-In menu option, an event is raised and passed back to the Add-In that originally defined that menu option.
This event is raised just before Enterprise Architect has to show particular menu options to the user, and its use is described in the Define Menu Items topic.
