Hi Ken, > Since our code is no longer in either of those classes, we are ready to > create a plugin. You mentioned during the video conference we had that you > could send us help on this subject. Could you send us a template XML file > or a URL for implementing our code in IDV? > Attached is an examplecontrols.xml file. Just make a jar with it and all of your .class files. The xml file filename needs to be of the form <anything>controls.xml (we match on a pattern) You should change the id, class, description, etc. The properties attribute is a semi-colon separated list of name=value pairs. These are accessed by reflection - we look for public set... methods. You can run the idv with: idv -plugin yourplugin.jar or install the plugin through the Tools->Plugin Manager dialog. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: BGG-634466 Department: Support IDV Priority: Urgent Status: Closed
