Creating Views

The Trados Studio Integration API allows developers to integrate custom UI views into Studio desktop applications.

Basic View

To create a basic view, complete the following steps:

• Create a Windows Forms user control to define the view's content
• Create a controller class that implements the AbstractViewController class
• Apply the ViewAttribute attribute to the controller class to specify view metadata

See Integrating view sample for an example.

View with View Parts

To create a view that supports view parts, complete the following steps:

• Create a controller class that implements the AbstractViewController class
• Apply the ViewAttribute attribute to the controller class to specify view metadata
• Set the AllowViewParts property to true
