MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Giving users menu/toolbars option when adding plugin

I went ahead and instantiated the action. I needed to get the name attribute as well add to the menus/toolbar anyway which is the same issue.

I have made the behaviour that the dialog only appears if (a) it is a plugin inheriting from InterfaceActionBase, and (b) you have not previously added the plugin to a menu or toolbar. The latter is because I figure users upgrading will not want to get nagged by the dialog.

Edit - just saw chaley's post. The problem is I don't have a handle to the class without instantiating it since it is "unknown"?
