Indirect UI in Filetype Plugins?

[Katai]

I'm pretty sure this is supported, but I've seen zero sample code on how to go about this?  Could someone give me a snip of code to help get me started?

IndirectUI and PropertyBasedEffect are connected strongly.

[Katai]

I... don't know what that means

[midora]

Sorry, about this compact answer.

 

PropertyBasedEffect provides the method OnCreatePropertyCollection() which allows you to return properties as IndirectUi objects plus rules how these objects depend on each other.

 

There is nothing like this for filetype plugins. But maybe I'm wrong.Rick would say: Use Reflector to check ;-)

Umm, yes there is midora. It's called PropertyBasedFileType.

[midora]

Thanks for the tip, Glad to be wrong. Never seen an example or documentation using it.

So you can derive you filetype from PropertyBasedFileType and add properties (indirectUI controls) in OnCreateSavePropertyCollection(). Just to answer the initial question.

Thanks.  I'll give this a try.
