Plug-in Manager Attributes

View attributes for the Plug-in Manager. You can use these attributes when extending the functionality of the Plug-in Manager via its custom menu hooks. Use of these attributes are demonstrated extensively inside the "PluginTreeActions" plug-in (installed under the <factory>\Addons\sdkui\Application\Plugins folder)..

Note	See ViewAttributes for a complete list of types of attributes that you can use when customizing your Relational Views.
