Thanks Mike,
here is what Studio 2010 automatically puts in the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WidgetType xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Name>LinkToView</Name>
<Type>LinkToView</Type>
<Location />
<Extension />
</WidgetType>
does this look correct?
thanks
gordon
I think it is a matter of adding a <Widget> entry for it and an entry in
the toolbar <Container> in the AppDef.
