Property Panel Provider

Identifier:

com.ibm.designer.domino.xsp.editor.propprovider

Since:

Domino Designer 8.5.3

Description:

This extension point is used to dynamically provide property panels for a given XPages node/tag. The provider contributed via this extension point will have access to the XPages DOM and as a result may display what ever property panels for the selected node. This extension point would normally be used in cases where the property panels of a parent node are dependent on certain attributes or certain children of the node. In that case the contributed property panel provider may return property panels based on current selection and on information obtained from the DOM.
