HasPlugin

Description

Returns whether tool item or menu command is in current workspace.

FUNCTION HasPlugin(
				itemUniversalName : STRING;
				VAR PaletteName   : STRING): BOOLEAN;
def vs.HasPlugin(itemUniversalName):
    return (BOOLEAN, PaletteName)

Parameters

Name Type Description
itemUniversalName STRING Universal name of the plug-in
PaletteName STRING If plug-in is a tool, and is found in the workspace, the name of the palette in which it is contained will be returned in this parameter

Remarks

In 2008, this only seems to work on plug-in objects and tools in the workspace. The plug-ins have to plug-ins_ (VectorScript or SDK features, not built-in objects or tools). In other words, there has to be a file in the Plug-Ins folder associated with the feature. And it doesn't work on plug-in menu commands. In 12.5.3, it would work on menu commands, and the "paletteName" argument would be set to the menu group containing the item.

Example:

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
itemUniversalName :STRING;
paletteName :STRING;
result :BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
itemUniversalName := 'Spiral';
result := HasPlugin(itemUniversalName, paletteName);
AlrtDialog(Concat('result: ', result, Chr(13), 'paletteName: ', paletteName));
END;
RUN(Example);

Version

Availability: from VectorWorks10.0
