Hi,
how to show a custom Action container?
I created an action then I created new ActionContainer in Model Editor and move there that action. Next I changed action Category property to ActionContainer ID, but new Category didnt show.
Thank you,
Jozef
Hi Josef,
Thank you for your question. Adding an ActionContainer node in the ModelEditor is not enough. Actions are displayed via action container controls contained in the template, and each action container controls has a list of action categories visible in it. If you created a new category, you need to create a custom template and either add a new action container control for this category or add your category to the list of categories of an existing action container control. Please refer to the Templates Customization article for more information.
Hi,
Michael, could you please show how to register custom category to an existing action container?
I tried handling Frame.ProcessActionContainer as well as some other ways, but couldn't find a way to do this.
Thanks,
Mario
@Mario: This event is raised for every IActionContainer instance, which represents exactly one category. You cannot add new categories within it. To add a new category, you have to create a new custom template and customize it. The article I mentioned explains how to do this in general. In a WinForms template, add ActionContainerBarItem or ActionContainerMenuBarItem to a bar. In a Web template, either add a new ActionContainerHolder control to the markup or add your category to the Categories property of an existing control.
Thanks for clarification, I see now that I understood your initial answer incorrectly.
