public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
{
// Get the Property Types library in the project.
var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;
// Create an integer property type in the Property Types library and set:
// - Name to MyPlugin.MyIntProperty
// Use the name of your plugin as the property type namespace to avoid naming conflicts
// with other property types in the Kanzi Studio project that use the project name as
// the default property type namespace.
// - Name as it is shown in Kanzi Studio to My Int Property
// - Category in which Kanzi Studio shows the property type to My Plugin Properties
// - Lowest value to 0
// - Highest value to 9000
// - The amount by which the property can change to 10
var myIntProperty = propertyTypesLibrary.CreateIntProperty(
propertyTypesLibrary.GenerateUniqueChildName("MyPlugin.MyIntProperty"),
"My Int Property",
"My Plugin Properties",
0,
9000,
10);
// Set the Editor property of the property type to Slider.
// This way you enable the Kanzi Studio user to set the value of this property using a slider.
if (PropertyEditors.Slider.IsCompatibleWith(myIntProperty))
{
myIntProperty.Editor = PropertyEditors.Slider;
}
