External App from Menu

[2can2]

Hi, I tried to copy your sample 'Launch App' plug in (V157) and then renamed the references to LaunchApp and Notepad but still can't get the plugin to add to Forms so I can address the form in Menu maintenance when adding the new exe. What am I missing? Thanks.

Code: Select all

Partial Class LaunchAppRoute       
   Inherits JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.ProcessAction.UserInterface

   Public Sub New()
       Dim RouteSch As System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("RouteSch.exe"))         
   End Sub

but still can't get the plugin to add to Forms

So - after enabling your plugin, exiting and logging back in you need to:

• 1. Open Form Maintenance in Jiwa
• 2. Add the form by selecting the Form Type as plugin
• 3. Then on the Assembly Full Name lookup column, select your plugin
• 4. Then select on the drop-down combo the Class Name of your form "LaunchAppRoute" or "x.LaunchAppRoute" if it is namespaced.

Were you able to locate your plugin in step 3 above ? If so, were you able to select your "LaunchAppRoute" in the Class Name drop down combo?

Thanks for the quick reply Mike.
Worked a treat. I wasn't selecting type 'Plugin' 1st before trying to add my new form!
Cheers
