What is an "Add on"? AND how do I go about making one?

Ok I've been looking around, and I see a lot of talk about these Labview Add on's/Apps.  I think it is great that Labview is expanding with this, but just what is an Add On.
Is it a glorified vi, with added features? I'm not really sure. 
Are these add ons similar to chrome app, firefox add ons, visual studio add ons, and others?
Can I change what labview does with these add ons?
I'm interested in making an add on,  How do I go about this. 
Being an intern I don't want to fork out lots of dough.  Is there a common API for which developers can use? I do have Labview 2012 dev suite, Can I make an add on with this alone?  I also have Visual Studios 2010, would this be a tool to develop an add on?
Thanks
Solved!

While true, I think this is another case of the misleading labeling of the Developer Suite. It seems to me that a**bleep**akaLax has the 2012 Developers Suite, which contains LV2011 and other items. Since the Dev Suite was released in 2012, it's called 2012.
I'm sure you already know Ben, but in case others are wondering, here is some info on the confusion. Sadly the Idea was declined, but the reason given provides insight.
EDIT: Apparently ashi-takaLax's name gets bleeped out. Fun times.

  • What are the various toolbars and how do I restore a missing one?

    The toolbar (I THINK it's a toolbar) that usually appears at the top of my Safari page has disappeared. It's the one that offers new windows, etc. I don't know what it's called or how to get it back -- or why it disappeared in the first place. I know someone can help and I thank you in advance.

    Click "View"menu  in the Safari menubar and select "Show Toolbar".
    or
    Click "View" menu in the Safari menu bar and click "Customize Toolbar".
    From the drop down drag the default set into the Toolbar.
      the one under " or drag the default set into the Toolbar"
    Click "Done".
    Best.

  • What Steps must I take and How do I go about updating My Mac OS X 10.5.8 as so I may get it to Mountain Lion. PLease HELP!!

    I'm trying to update my Mac OS X version 10.5.8 to the latest version Operating System. But to do so it instructs me that I must first update to Snow Leopard 10.6 The problem is that I canot find the software as to update. Please any help would be appriciated. Please HELP!!

    Make sure to ask for the 10.6.7 version as they sent me 10.6.3 which has no App Store that is needed to install Lion, or Mountain Lion. They said it is in the update but I just updated and still no App Store visible. Argh! You have to get the Snow Leopard Disk via mail but will be able to download Lion and/or Mountain lion directly from the App Store, and why you need to make sure they send the correct version if you do order the SL disk. Just an FYI!:)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
    This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

    The java forums exist to help people programming in the java language to solve problems in their code.
    They do not exist to help people solve problems with applications written in java. For help with such problems you go to the people that created the application.
    If yours is the first case rather than the latter then you need to post information about your code.
    Other than that you can look at the response at the end of the following link.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.
