How to build a flare plugin extension?

Post by JuMo »

Hello,
related to this topic viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26688 I would like to extend the "format panel" with a plugin to allow the assignment of multiple classes.
Unfortunately Madcap Flare support could not help me getting started.
At this time we do not have information regarding customizing Flare to add this functionality.
Does anyone of you know to get started building an extension to this panel?
Note: I already know this site http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... in_API.htm

I'm not sure whether it is possible to extend an existing Flare panel (I've never tried), but you can definitely add your own panel, and then add your controls to that panel.

I'd recommend starting by trying out the examples in the Flare API documentation (available from http://www.madcapsoftware.com/downloads ... ables.aspx). Also refer to viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26332 as it provides solutions to a couple of common problems experienced when first starting out.
