Hi,
Had a go at creating a new event class plugin and in the myEvent.param file, I defined a “Type=enum” value.
Unfortunately, no matter what you do, it is never displayed in the “Configure Event Plugins” dialog in the monitor. Doesn’t matter if you include a default matching setting/value in the myEvent.dlinit file either.
BUG?
Also, leaving out (forgetting to add it!) / not defining a “Default=” value in one of the myEvent.param settings, actually causes the Deadline monitor to crash big-time, when you click on the “Configure Event Plugins…” command in the monitor!
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
I took a look at the param file of the event plugin you emailed me. The reason the enums aren’t showing up is because you’re using “Default=” to set the items in the drop down instead of “Items=”. Because there are no items to select, the control isn’t being shown. Switching to “Items=” should fix this problem for you.
Also, I removed ALL the “Default=” entries from the param file, but I couldn’t reproduce the crash. Can you still reproduce the crash on your end? If so, can you send me a copy of your current plugin again? In addition, a Monitor log from the session where it crashes would be really helpful, as it should contain the error that caused the Monitor to crash.

Hi Ryan,
D’Oh! Yep, it was as simple as you described. Just was using the wrong syntax…changed the various “enum” types to “Items=” and everything works fine.
No crashes either. Job done.
Thanks,
Mike
