Get Plugin from custom form

[SBarnes]

Is there a way to get the plugin object that a custom form is residing in?

You can get the name of the plugin with Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly and then match the assembly name with the plugin name in Manager.PluginCollection - the item in Manager.PluginCollection is the plugin.

Thanks, based on that suggestion this should do it as a function in the form

Code: Select all

      private JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin GetPlugin()
      {
         List<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin> plugins = this.Manager.PluginCollection.Cast<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin>().ToList();
         return plugins.FirstOrDefault( p => p.Name == System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().FullName );
         
      }

That doesn't work because you're comparing the Assembly FullName with the Plugin Name - the FullName includes the SNK and version - you just want Name.

Code: Select all

private JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin GetPlugin()
{
   List<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin> plugins = this.Manager.PluginCollection.Cast<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin>().ToList();
   return plugins.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name);
}
