PA_GetPluginProperties

[Andreas Menzi]

The command PA_GetPluginProperties should return a PA_PluginProperties structure on the events "eAE_DesignUpdate" and "eAE_Init". With v11 the event "eAE_Init" seems to be replaced by "eAE_InitArea" and the Plugin structure isn't sent with it!! Has anyone noticed the same problem and solved this problem? From my point of view there's no way of solving it without a 4D update.

Francois: How about a 4D update with major bug fixes (including wrong Unicode behavior of various controls) and an updated documentation?? It's been over an year since the v11 release and a simple Popup control can still not display Unicode characters!!!

The eAE_Init event seems not to have been replaced by eAE_InitArea, but split in both it and eAE_InitAdvancedProperties.
eAE_InitArea is raised for both plugin windows (which can't have properties) and for regular plugin areas. eAE_InitAdvancedProperties is raised before eAE_InitArea for an area in a form.

PA_GetPluginProperties() can only be called during eAE_InitAdvancedProperties.
Calling PA_GetPluginProperties() also initializes the area so that eAE_InitArea will not be raised.
