Adding Custom Wizards

If you have created custom wizards that you want to make accessible to end users, your installer should create the following path in the Windows system registry (with a different <wizardName> for each wizard):

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\releaseNum\
    ACAD-ProductID:LocaleID\Startupwizards\<wizardName>

Beneath the <wizardName> key, add the following values for that custom wizard:

Custom wizard string values
Value	Description
AppPath	File system location of host ObjectARX application
Template	AutoCAD DWT template used when initializing the new AutoCAD drawing edit session
CommandName	Command invoked when the wizard is selected
SmallIcon	Icon posted in the Startup dialog box preview window when the user chooses the Use a Wizard button
LargeIcon	Icon posted in the Startup dialog box preview window when the user chooses the Use a Wizard button
Description	Descriptive text displayed under the wizard icon in the Startup dialog box

For example, you might add the following path to the registry and add the six custom wizard string values under MyTestwizard.

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R24.0\
    ACAD-4101:409\
        Startupwizards\
            MyTestwizard 

These registry entries cause your custom wizard to be included in the Startup dialog box wizard list. Anything found under Startupwizards is assumed to be the name of a wizard and is processed as such. Incomplete data results in an incomplete wizard.
