Settings config screen for class IEventNotification plugin

[imilne]

I've got a plugin defined as:

Code:

class AudioAdjust : IEventNotification, IPluginConfiguration
{
  public SettingsPage GetSettingsPage()
  {
    // returns new instance of my gui config form
  }
}

The plugin itself is found (and runs) fine, but I can't get it to appear on the Settings dialog for configuration. The other plugins I've done this with were both derived from IScreenPlugin. I don't really want to have to do that in this case, because the plugin only ever works behind the scenes.

Should it be possible?

Thanks

It's not really a form anymore, but, rather, a UserControl that inherits NUtility.SettingsPage. This is how the plugin config settings are contained within the main settings form, instead of floating around.

It does make things nice and uniform, but also leaves you constrained within the real-estate that sub provides. I made mine 531 x 355, which seems to look pretty good.

(Ok, I'm not sure I made sense there at all...)

You made sense, but that wasn't the question I was asking

I know how to do the settings stuff; I've done it before for the System and SubMenu plugins. But they're both IScreenPlugin classes, which NPVR seems to pick up fine and list in its Settings dialog.

This new plugin only extends from IEventNotification, which NPVR will instantiate and run fine, but it won't show its IPluginConfiguration implementation in the dialog. Nothing shows up for it, so the user doesn't have any way of configuring it.

I use a minimal plugin to control my Sharehelper utility via the config screen

Code:

namespace ShareHelper
{
    // "SimpleButtonPlugin" is basically a list of buttons on the left

    public class ShareHelper : SimpleButtonPlugin, IPluginConfiguration
    {
        SettingsPage config = null;
        public override string GetName()
        {
            return "ShareHelper";
        }
        public SettingsPage GetSettingsPage()
        {
            config = new Config();
            return config;
        }
    }
}

Nice idea, thanks.

It does mean that it still shows up as a tickable main menu component though, and it would be nice to avoid that altogether (ie, it shows up under the "Plugins" tab, but not within it).

The Settings -> Plugins screen was only intended to be used by IScreenPlugins. It was really there for enabling and disabling their display on the menu, but did also provide access to their setting screen.

I'll see if I can add support for non-IScreenPlugins in the next release.

Thanks sub, that'd be great if you could.

Whoops! Oh well, at least it made sense for a different question!

Bump. I take it this didn't make it in?

(not complaining, just checking)

Sorry, no. I forgot.
