Customize the Organize Browser

There are also custom actions for typical lifecycle operations. These can be either pre or post of typical lifecycle operations.

Note: The custom scripts are recommended to be placed in a folder as declared in the libraryprofile.xml file.

Toolbar Customization

The core application expects a return value of one to show the toolbar from a procedure named ::namespace::ShowHideCustomToolbar. A return value of zero will hide the toolbar. You can use the standard hwt commands to create label combinations or icons to do specific jobs.

Context Menu Customization

The core application runs the procedure ::namespace::CtxMenuAddCustomItems to add the custom context menus. The arguments objBrowser, menu and obj values are passed to this procedure by core.
