Detailed Description

Implement this interface on a class that defines a custom column that can be used just like a builtin Chronos column type in the method editor and from the sample list.

This can be useful if you want to access some information of your device or acquisition service from the sample list without replicating all this information in the column definition in the method editor. Chronos does not care what type of object you are using for your StandardItems. Just make sure that there is a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter for string->yourType conversions and vice versa.

◆ ColumnHeaderMenu

IEnumerable<IColumnMenu> AxelSemrau.Chronos.Plugin.Columns.IColumnTypeDefinition.ColumnHeaderMenu

get

If this is not null, it declares column header menu entries that can be used for "Autofill" like features.

Definition at line 42 of file ColumnType.cs.

42 { get; }

◆ ComboboxItems

IEnumerable<object> AxelSemrau.Chronos.Plugin.Columns.IColumnTypeDefinition.ComboboxItems

get

List of possible values that can be presented to the user in a drop-down list.

As stated in the class documentation: Make sure ToString() returns values that can be converted back to your object type.

Definition at line 34 of file ColumnType.cs.

34 { get; }

◆ InternalName

string AxelSemrau.Chronos.Plugin.Columns.IColumnTypeDefinition.InternalName

get

Nametag that will be used internally for storing a column of this type in the method. Do not change this once released, or the methods using this column type will no longer be usable.

Definition at line 23 of file ColumnType.cs.

23 { get; }

◆ ValueType

Type AxelSemrau.Chronos.Plugin.Columns.IColumnTypeDefinition.ValueType

get

Used for getting information which UITypeEditor, TypeConverter etc to use for your column.

Definition at line 38 of file ColumnType.cs.

38 { get; }

◆ VisibleName

string AxelSemrau.Chronos.Plugin.Columns.IColumnTypeDefinition.VisibleName

get

Column type name that will be presented to the user in the method editor in the "Cell Type" column. Should be localizable.
