XSILoadPlugin gets a PluginRegistrar object as an argument. Through this object, you can set plug-in properties such as Name, Author, and Help.
// JScript function XSILoadPlugin( in_pluginRegistrar ) { in_pluginRegistrar.Name = "My Commands"; // Contact info in_pluginRegistrar.Author = "The Plugin Factory"; in_pluginRegistrar.Email = "support@example.com"; in_pluginRegistrar.URL = "http://www.example.com/support"; // Plug-in version information in_pluginRegistrar.Major = 1; in_pluginRegistrar.Minor = 0; // Comma-separated list of user-defined categories in_pluginRegistrar.Categories = "Example, Command, Menu"; // The plug-in help file is located in the Help subfolder of the installation folder in_pluginRegistrar.Help = XSIUtils.BuildPath( in_reg.OriginPath, "Help", "FooUserGuide.chm" ); // Register plug-in items ... return true; }
All these plug-in details are displayed in the Plug-in Manager. For example, in the plug-in tree, right-click a plug-in and then click Properties to open the Plug-in Details dialog box. Note that in the Plug-in Details dialog box, a user can click the Email, URL, and Help properties to open the links.
