Passing Dockable window Buttons and parameters to a Customized tool

asafati — Mon, 03 May 2010 14:08:21 GMT

Hello,
I'm trying to pass one of my dockable window objects (for example the "ListView" ) to a customized tool that i am developing...

The tool is supposed to update the list view...

In my project directory i have the dockable window associated files and the tool class (that implements base tool)

How can i pass the "ListView" from the dockable window to the tool?

I'm trying to do so by calling the name of the dockable window and then access the ListView (by a dot)
but, it says that i must use the instance of the dockable window?

There is no main (using Dll's), so i don't know excatly how to use the instance of of the dockable window and its buttons...

Please help me!

Thank's!
Asaf.

Try returning the listview via IDockableWindowDef.UserData. In your custom tool, you should be able to access the listview by casting IDockableWindow.UserData.
