Hi, we are using the Independent Playback
plugin to create a Matrix that shows the live and playback of each alarm together.
one of the requests is that the Playback video display will be shown uniquely from the live video,
in the smart client when we select a camera for Independent Playback
the header is colored yellow .
any ideas or guide to do the same in our plugin?
Thanks
If your plugin is controlling the Smart Client utilizing the regular playback functionality it will not trigger the Smart Client built-in behavior for Independent Playback functionality. There is not way you by a plugin can change the header color of the built-in camera items.
If your plugin is including your own view item you can control the header, it is all in your code. It would be very possible to change the Smart Client Independent Playback plugin samples to feature a header in another color.

It is unclear to me which of the two scenarios fits with the plugin you are developing, if you have further question please make sure to clarify this for me..
There are some plans to make the built-in Independent Playback controllable by MIP plugin code but this is future functionality. Please keep an eye on the Milestone news for new releases.
PS. Please do not mention me or any of my Milestone colleagues by name but trust that we will answer if we can. The mention does nothing good to our workflow and it does not make the forum more useful.
HI Bo,
thanks, we are building our own view but using the Independent Playback to play recordings, in the sample there isn’t any way to change the header. the only way to do so is by setting the VisibleHeader=false and then create a customized Header with the color that we want.
i guess this is the only possible way to do so.

Yes, you are right.
The header of the ImageViewerControl you cannot control.
The header of the view item (of your plugin) you can control.
This information was not clear from the answer I gave, I guess I had not really fully captured the scenario you have. I am happy you added a second post to this thread allowing me this clarification.
