CONFIGURING

Using public widget provider APIs
A set of public APIs is available that developers can use to create custom widget types for use with either supplied or custom applications.

After deploying the plug-in containing the new widget type, you can enable or disable the new widget types for users in the same way as the supplied widget types (using either Domino policy or a plugin_customization.ini file). You can then create widgets of these additional widget types and deploy them to end users.

Note: For information about deploying a plug-in using a widget, see the related topics.

The com.ibm.rcp.toolbox plug-in provides the set of public APIs that allow for the following:

use of a new custom widget type
creation of the new widget type using wizards
a custom widget provider to manages the new widget type
use of utilities for common widget functions

The set of public APIs are provided as part of the installed Notes client. API JavaDoc about how to use the new provider APIs and samples is available; see the related topics for link to the Domino Designer wiki.

The extension point names for these public APIs are:

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.widgetWizard

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.widgetProvider

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.customWidgetAction

For information on enabling widget creation by extension point/type using a Domino policy or the plugin_customization.ini file, see the related topics.
