Why are some Siebel objects read only? - project

I want to add some extensions to an existing Siebel application, but the objects which I need to change remain (partially) read only, despite I have locked the respective parent projects.
E.g.
Add a Menu item to the application main menu. => I can edit existing items, but I cannot add new items (Tool's menu "New record" is disabled.)
Add a custom applet to view "Sales Home Page View". It's read only (Warning displayed by Tools when I click "Edit web layout").
Any ideas, why?

Seems to be a bug in Siebel Tools. After a restart of Tools I was able to perform the desired changes.

Customize existing menu/toolbar Item

I am building a netbeans platform application. This application is project based. I need to customize existing menu/toolbar items.
For instance, when a java project is selected, the "New File" button on the toolbar brings a standard wizard. But when a custom project (my project type) is selected, I would like that same button to bring my own dialog/wizard.
How do I achieve this?
I have been struggling with this for quite some time, any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Using a 3rd party control

Please excuse the noobness that is probably about to follow...
I'm making an vb.net 2010 app which needs to have a calendar system in which the user can add appointments and events etc.
I've downloaded the source for a control which looks promising (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10840/Another-Month-Calendar) but I have no idea how to add this in to my project. I've googled for help on adding the control but have had no luck.
If I right click on my toolbox, go 'choose items...' and try and add it there, it tells me it couldnt be opened.
Any help is appreciated!
Well you've downloaded the source code.
Place the source code in a specific location on your pc and then compile it 9If your planning to use this control in your own project then compile it in release mode. Assuming that there are no compile errors close visual studio and then open up the project of your own that you want to use this control in.
Right click on the general tab in the toolbox and click choose items. Using the bowse button in the choose items dialog navigate to the folder in which you placed the source code for the control you want to use.
Now locate the 'Bin' folder and in that locate the 'release' folder. Inside that you will see a dll (named presumably something like MothCalendar.dll. Select that dll and then click add and OK (Button sequence will vary according to vs version). The control should then appear in your toolbox under the general tab and you should then be able to drag it onto your forms for use in your project.

Can't find the workflow source code of a list or library on SharePoint Designer

I'm new using SharePoint. I am having trouble with find the code or workflow structure of a list or a library. In the left menu i can see the "Workflows" button but all workflows are not there.
There is a workflow section In the "List and libraries" view showing the running workflows in these list, but when i click on one of them it just move me to its settings in the browser and no to the structure or code that is what i'm looking for.
Is there a way to find the code or structure of my running workflows?
PD: I am working in place of the previous developer who build the entire site, however, he didn't show me anything about.
Thanks.
If these are workflows created using SharePoint Designer then:
Open SharePoint Designer
Open the site
Click on Lists and Libraries
Click on the list name
There will be a heading titled "Workflows"
Click on the workflow you are wanting to look at
Click "Edit Workflow" to view it
Go From there
If you are wanting to see the status of a workflow in regards to the item:
Go to the list
I recommend creating a personal view (so only you see it)
You can select the fields you are interested in and each workflow should have a column in the list associated with it. Include the column in your view
Go to your new view and you can click on the link to view the current status of the workflow
Go to All Files > Workflows Folder. Then select the workflow you want to work with. Right Click on the "xoml" file then select "Open With" > "SharePoint Designer (open as workflow)"
Once it's opened, published it again. Then it will show up again in the Workflow tab.
The workflow was a visual studio sequential workflow deployed in the site as a feature. It was not a SharePoint Designer one. Thanks

Add NSMenuItems to other Apications' Menus

I use an application called Afloat that adds a few buttons to the "Window" menu of every application that uses windows. It adds the Afloat icon and options like "Keep Afloat" which will leave the active window as the window that stays the furthest forward even if the user clicks a different window. I would like to add an item to the "Edit" menu and to all contextual menus on a text editor. I can't find how to do this in the documentation.
Quote by Apple:
The CFPlugIn provides a standard architecture for application extensions. A contextual menu plug-in, which is CFPlugIn bundle installed in a Library/Contextual Menu Items directory at the appropriate level of the system, enables applications and other forms of software to extend the list of commands found on contextual menus such as the Finder’s.
Alternatively, you can use Services to integrate with other applications.
