Extending Element's "Properties"
« on: November 17, 2010, 02:09:14 pm »
i want to extend Element's properties, and add some customed information. But it seems that "Properties" dialog cann't be extended.

i can intercept the call to "Properties" dialog by listening to "Pre-New Event", but that is not what i want. i just would like to add, not overwrite

of course, i can add a new menu, is there any better ways? thx

Have you tried using tagged values?
That's what most people do when they have a need for extra properties.

I have the same question.  What AI would like to accomplish is to add properties so that they appear as fields in the Relationship Matrix view.  that is across the top so one can sort etc.  Can this been done with a tagged value?  If so how?  Thanks.
