Since version 3.0 there is a plug-in support in +Macros system. Follow the steps below to create your own plug-in:

Use PO_InAppManager.prg file from PlugIns\Template directory to create our own plug-in
Create a vfp-project, include this file and turn on Set main option for it
Add executable and graphic files to your project
Add required methods in PO_InAppManager class
Compile project in app file and copy it in PlugIns directory
After restarting FoxPro your plug-in will be loaded

Create new macro with the following code:

local oPlugin
	oPlugin = po_getplugin( "YouPluginName.app" )
if !isnull(oPlugin)
	oPlugin.Show()  && Execute you method in PO_InAppManager
endif

To use graphic files in macro description you may use the following syntax:

Icon: YouIconName.bmp,YouPluginName.app

By using service methods of PO_InAppManager class +Macros will load icon from app-file to the menu or toolbar.
