FileImportPlugIn Methods

Called right after plug-in is created and is responsible for creating all of the commands in a given plug-in. The base class implementation Constructs an instance of every publicly exported command class in your plug-in's assembly.

Called by Rhino if AddToHelpMenu is true and menu item associated with this plug-in is selected.

Override this function if you want to extend the document properties sections of the options dialog. This function is called whenever the user brings up the Options dialog.

All of the commands associated with this plug-in.

Serves as the default hash function.

Verifies that there is a valid product license for your plug-in, using the Rhino licensing system. If the plug-in is installed as a standalone node, the locally installed license will be validated. If the plug-in is installed as a network node, a loaner license will be requested by the system's assigned Zoo server. If the Zoo server finds and returns a license, then this license will be validated. If no license is found, then the user will be prompted to provide a license key, which will be validated.

Override this function if you want to extend the options dialog. This function is called whenever the user brings up the Options dialog.

Called whenever a Rhino document is being loaded and plug-in user data was encountered written by a plug-in with this plug-in's GUID.

Write settings to disk which will raise a SettingsSaved event.
