Is there a way to extend existing D2-Smartview "widgets"

Loic HERVE

One of the limitation with D2 classic widgets was that we couldn't extend the existing standard widgets to meet some specific requirements - so we would have to do something fully custom, making it more complex (and less integrated)

For example, we might want to extend the Doclist to add additional information (graphics for some fields…) - or we might want to add some custom nodes in the tree view…

Not currently, not the widgets (tiles/perspectives) themselves. Something experimental (not supported but not restricted or documented)

D2FS Services not listed in our SDK

While some D2FS things may work partially, fully, or not at all. Only the D2FS additions in the SDK Documentation are currently supported. If you have some previous D2FS plugins/approach that overrode some widget behavior (like D2ContentService) while not tested (and therefore not yet supported) they are not restricted so behavior could be exploratory/experimental with SDK.

We are working to fully document/certify which D2FS plugins/methods will be compatible. Before D2FSDialogServicePlusin was supported, it was pretty functional with a D2DialogServicePlugin. We have been focusing a lot of the Smartview side while also trying to add backwards compatibility where possible we just have not been able to test all scenarios as of yet, just wanted you to be aware of other possibilities.
