EANavigator NavigatorControl where ?

[MathiasK]

Hi,

i can't find the part where the "navigatorControl" with its view buttons and fields is implemented into the "Add-In" window of EA.

I also not sure about the nature of the Add-In window - can i apply a "System.Windows.Forms" to it ?

Best wishes

Hi Mathias,

If you wish to understand how to integrate your own control as an add-in window it might be easier to use the  MyAddin as an example.
The EA Navigator works in exactly the same way.

What you need to do is make a user control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
Then you need to make sure it is know in COM.
And then you need to tell EA to load the control as a docked add-in.

Code: [Select]

/// <summary>
/// called when the selected item changes
/// This operation will show the guid of the selected element in the eaControl
/// </summary>
/// <param name="Repository">the EA.Repository</param>
/// <param name="GUID">the guid of the selected item</param>
/// <param name="ot">the object type of the selected item</param>
public override void EA_OnContextItemChanged(EA.Repository Repository, string GUID, EA.ObjectType ot)
{
      if (this.eaControl == null)
                  this.eaControl = Repository.AddWindow("My Control","MyAddin.MyEAControl") as MyEAControl;
      if (this.eaControl != null)
            this.eaControl.setNameLabel(GUID);
}
