How to add custom options and buttons in wordpress MCE Editor

Question

I am developing a premium Wordpress theme [first time :)] and I want to know how to add custom buttons and options to the Tiny MCE Editor .

Like other premium themes, they provide a custom button and a popup area for custom options (maybe just a div), I also want to do this. I need functions that can do this.

Thanks.
