Add Parent Menu to Photoshop

[_Brett_Dixon_]

Hello, I have seen this done a few times (see http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=abvs5.jpg ) where a plugin will add a parent menu to Photoshop. I see they are always using an Automation plugin, i assume to get an entry point when PS loads. But are they doing it through the SDK somehow or are they just hacking it using the win32 GUI API?

They are 'hacking' with OS calls. There is no Photoshop API to insert in the top level menus and this is unsupported by Adobe.
