If I have a Console Tab, but requires some settings from it's Settings counterpart, what is the best/recommended way to get data from the settings pane back to the correct Console Tab?
Obviously I can write the settings to an XML file and have the Console tab read it, but I'd like to avoid that for immediate setup. I know I'm going to need to do that to maintain state between Console access sessions, but that's a different story.
So simply put the scenario is:
-
User loads the WHS Console.
-
Adds my add-in.
-
Does the usual log-off, re-login to the WHS Console.
-
Views the newly added Console tab and generic information is shown, but informing the user to customize it using the settings. For arguments sake let's say that there's a label on the console which display "FooBar".
-
User loads the settings, customizes it, For this example, the customization is to change the text of the label from "FooBar" to "Hello World".
-
User clicks "OK", and then the Console has "Hello World" displayed instead of "FooBar".
