In this lesson, you will configure the customParameterControl extension
you defined for this plug-in project.
The customParametercontrol extension point
allows for the values of the parameter to be presented to the user
in a format other than a text field. For this sample, the option parameter
will be changed from a single-character text field to a check box.
You will start working in the Plug-in Development perspective
with the Plug-in Editor for your com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto plug-in
project open.
- On the Extensions page, select the (customParameterControl) option
below the com.ibm.carma.ui.customParameterControl extension
point. To the right you will see the Extension Element
Details listed.
- In the uniqueId text field, enter com.ibm.carma.sample.PDSRAM for
the Sample PDS RAM.
- In the class text field, enter com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto.action.CheckboxOptionControl.
You will create this class later in this exercise.
- In the parameterId text field, enter
the parameter id for the option parameter. For the
sample, this is 003.
- Finally, in the actionId text field,
enter 100 for the HowTo action.
- Save the changes and debug any errors.
You have now defined a customParameterControl extension
in the HowTo action on the PDS RAM.
