Examples

To check whether you can use a property editor to set the value of a property:

        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;
            }
        }
