MDG_GetProperty provides miscellaneous Add-In details to Enterprise Architect.

•IconID - Return the name of a DLL and a resource identifier in the format #ResID, where the resource ID indicates an Icon
 
c:\program files\myapp\myapp.dlll#101
 
•Language - Return the default language that Classes should be assigned when they are created in Enterprise Architect
•HiddenMenus - Return one or more values from the MDGMenus enumeration to hide menus that do not apply to your Add-In.
