What i am trying to achieve is to send my custom metadata to milestone and the users should be able to search using this metadata in the search tab in smart client.

Is this possible and please direct me from where to proceed

best regards,

Hello Rie,

I successfully implemented the SearchAgent is a Smart Client plugin however i am facing a bug/issue. To simplify the issue i will explain it on the provided plugin sample SCAnimalsSearchAgent .

I am using the PluginSamples\SCAnimalsSearchAgent sample , when i provide an icon for the plugin using below

SearchFilterCategory = new OtherSearchFilterCategory(“Animals”, appIcon,

      new SearchFilter\[\]

      {

        SCAnimalsSearchAgentSearchDefinition.ActivityFilter,

        SCAnimalsSearchAgentSearchDefinition.FamilyFilter,

        SCAnimalsSearchAgentSearchDefinition.SpeciesFilter,

        SCAnimalsSearchAgentSearchDefinition.AreaFilter,

      });

The icon for the plugin is showing but now the result images are also showing the plugin icon instead of the animal pictures.

custom search

if i set the icon to null when initializing the SearchFilterCategory the animal picture will start showing again.

Can you please elaborate on this issue because i need to set a custom icon for the plugin and be able to specify an image for each search result.

best regards,

Gaby

Milestone Development will start an investigation.

As a workaround, please set a fixed size on the Image shown in the top-left corner of the search result (maybe smaller size).

Setting the icon size to 16x16 solved the issue.

Thanks a lot!
