Name Type

Description

Version Read-Only

String

Version number of the plug-in. The version number
is in “<major release>.<minor release>” format.
The minor release can contain either one or two
digits. If it contains only one digit, it is assumed
that the second digit is a zero. This means that "3.5"
is assumed to mean "3.50". The version number
may be followed with a space, and then optional text
information. For example: “1.01 Controller Device
Configuration Plug-in”.

Visible

Boolean

The display state (visible or not visible) of the
plug-in. Plug-ins are not required to display a
window or become visible at the time that this
property is set to True. For example, your plug-in
might choose to wait until it has received a request
to execute a command (via the SendCommand
method).

Alternatively, your plug-in might be one that
performs a task that never requires it to become
visible. In these cases, the plug-in should not raise
an exception to the director’s set request — it should
just cache the requested state value for future use or
ignore the set request as appropriate. Reads of the
Visible state should, as always, return the actual
display state of the plug-in.

Width

Long

The width, in pixels, of the plug-in’s main window.
