I am currently trying to generate a floating window like the one from dynamic view but whenever I call CreateTemporaryGroupItem it returns null, even when I have the smart client open. I was just wondering when is the smart client considered logged in to a server? And is there a function in the SDK to check client status in that regard?
Smart Client Insert Camera might be helpful, please see this link.
Smart Client View and Window Tool sample might be helpful too.
In the sample, there is a code using CreateTemporaryGroupItem line 58 around in ViewCreateUserControl.cs so you might want to refer it.
View and Window Tool seems to be more relevant to what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to open a floating window in the smart client with a background plugin that sends a signal whenever new info is retrieved from an API. I assume the problem right now is when I try to instantiate a tempgroupitem the plugin is unable to see whether or not the smart client is open. With that in mind, are there any settings in the plugin that I would need to configure for the plugin to detect whether the smart client is logged into a server? The only setting I could find was this:
That is correct! What you need to do is to add the last line in your previous post.
