How do I create a global property to my OpenTool and access it through the Tools Menu? |
You'll need to use several classes:com.borland.primetime.properties.PropertyGroup com.borland.primetime.properties.PropertyPageFactory com.borland.primetime.properties.PropertyPage com.borland.primetime.ide.ContextActionProvider com.borland.primetime.ide.BrowserActionfor starters. The stuff from the properties package provides the hooks for storing information in the user.properties file and/or in the project's jpx/jpr file. The BrowserAction and ContextActionProvider are used to insert the new item into the Tools menu and link it to your property page. The following is a complete implementation of a simple OpenTool which does nothing useful beyond store its property in your user.properties file. It also provides an example of providing online help on your property page.
