So I basically just want to do a wall of text and information in the plugin tab, I’ve searched through the documentation and I’ve found nothing.
If you want text in a view item you can configure the view using the Text item (instead of the camerra item regularly used). No development required.
If you want to develop a plugin and create your own view item or side-panel or tab you should start with the template. Using the template (MIPPluginTemplate_vs2013) you will get sceleton implementation for these items and it will be possible to add the text boxes etc. you wish to have.
See Getting Started Plug-in Development in the MIP Documentation.
I realize there is an element of guessing here, if the answer does not fit please elaborate on where text should be in your plugin.
I want to develop it. I have a visual studio project and I want to do a form, basically. Like, a bunch of info and maybe a ‘contact us’ form at the end, just to train and learn MIP. I haven’t found any information on how to draw text or implement anything at all. This is the first time I’ve developed in MIP and I find the getting started guide very lacking.
Try to make a new project using the mentioned template and run it. I know better getting started instructions is being planned or being made. If you get stuck with the template and the development do not hesitate to ask again here.
Well I’m stuck. Can you walk me through how to create a text label with code? I’m trying to modify the text-box that’s included in the template but I never manage to get any change.
Jesus christ, I completely missed the User Controls… I thought everything was done programmatically.
I hope your revelation also leads you to some succesful integrations.. I wish good luck going forward with the development project(s).
