I’m writing a Milestone plugin. My company has decided to change what we call our plugin items. The plugin item name and plural name are supplied in the ItemNode constructor in PluginDefinition.Init().
So we changed those names. The correct names are used everywhere, except in the window captions for the item tree and item config in the Management Client (see attachment).
I noticed that if I changed the PluginKind ID, the names do get updated, but I can’t do that; people would lose all the items they have configured.
How can I make the captions display the correct text?
I actually know what the problem is. Management client uses Infragistics controls, doesn’t it? I once worked on a project that used that. Infragistics allows you to cache layout information, and reload the same layout each time you run. That cache includes information about tool bars, docking bars and window captions. Normally, when you make a programmatic change to a toolbar, Infragistics will prompt you to use the new stuff instead of the old. But it usually doesn’t prompt if you change only a docking window caption.
So anyway, just tell me where you stored the layout cache, and I will delete it during the update install of my plugin. That should allow the correct captions to display.
I consulted a Milestone Developer and he think that doing a (View ->) Reset Application Layout will do the trick. Please let me know if this solves it.
Yes, it works. Thank you.
