Custom

The custom plugin enables customers to define their own input field and KPIs.

Usage

Custom input fields and calculated fields can be defined using C# notation.

Input Fields

The Property attributes requires the following:

• Unique Name of the property
• Namespace of the plugin (has to be "Custom")
• Datatype (see input types below)
• Unit
• Default value

The following input types are supported:

• string
• double
• VascoTimeSpan

The PropertyDialog attribute specifies has the field is presented in the user interface (usually the PropertyDialog):

• Label
• Category
• CategoryOrder
• ProeprtyOrder

Example

The following snippet snippet shows the double input field (SimpleDoubleInput), which is used in SimpleDoubleSquare to calculate its square value.

[Property("SimpleDoubleInput", "Custom", "double", "", DefaultValue = "3.14")]
[PropertyDialog("Simple String", "Input", CategoryOrder = 1, PropertyOrder = 1)]
internal class ExamplePlugin_SimpleStringInput
{
}


[Property("SimpleDoubleSquare", "Custom", "double", "", DefaultValue = "0.0")]
[PropertyDialog("SimpleDoubleSquare", "General", CategoryOrder = 13, PropertyOrder = 2)]
internal class ExamplePlugin_SimpleDoubleSquare : PropertyCalculation
{
    public override void Graph(IValueStream GC, IModelBase m, string nameSpace)
    {
        INIT(GC, m, nameSpace);

        var ds = GetGlobalProperty("Custom", "SimpleDoubleInput");

        SetGraphCalculation(m,() =>
        {
            CalcSetValue(m,(double)ds.ObjValue * (double)ds.ObjValue);
        });
    }
}
