I am investigating how my team can extend the Spotfire Framework specifically by developing C# AddIns. I was checking out example projects included in the Developer SDK, specifically the "SpotfireDeveloper.CustomDataWriterExample".
So what I did is I created a new "TIBCO Spotfire Extention_VS" using Visual Studio and copied all of the classes from the example project. I ran my project (i.e. TIBCO Spotfire Extention_VS1), it loads my Extention fine but I have no idea how to trigger that custom data writer now using the UI (I am new to Spotfire Analyst).
Should I be looking at the File -> Export menu?
I have managed to get that working. I had a few problems with my project.
I had to add
/loadallmodules /addmodulefolder:"D:...\10.0\SDK\MyExtentions\Build\Modules" to "Command line argumets" in Debug menu:
The end result, I was able to see my custom data writer export type in the Save as dropdown:
P.S.: I have 2 projects that implemented the custom data writer that's why I have duplicates in the export type list
