Lesson 5: Configure the com.ibm.carma.ui.customParameterControl extension point

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.
  1. 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.
  2. In the uniqueId text field, enter com.ibm.carma.sample.PDSRAM for the Sample PDS RAM.
  3. In the class text field, enter com.ibm.carma.plugin.howto.action.CheckboxOptionControl. You will create this class later in this exercise.
  4. In the parameterId text field, enter the parameter id for the option parameter. For the sample, this is 003.
  5. Finally, in the actionId text field, enter 100 for the HowTo action.
  6. Save the changes and debug any errors.
You have now defined a customParameterControl extension in the HowTo action on the PDS RAM.
