Syntax
[MDOProviderPlugin("PreferenceKey")]
[MDOAdditionalInfo("Preference section name, optionally followed by ;excludesystemwide to exclude preferences that belong in the System Settings gui", "Functions")]
public class PreferenceKeyProvider : LiteralsOnlyBase, ISoListProvider, ISoList
Remarks

Preferences are described in the prefdesc table. This provider will retrieve descriptions for all keys grouped under a given section, passed in as the additionalInfo to the constructor.

Use the UserPreferenceStrings class to avoid (mis)coding preference section and key names as strings.

Each item contains the programmatic key name in the extraInfo field.

Methods

AddItems()

Subclass contract: use the RawRootItems and RawHeadingItems properties to add items to your literals-only list. The base class will then perform any search or flattening required.

Declaration
protected override void AddItems()
Overrides
Remarks

Lists that only contain literals can be either flat or grouped. If you create a grouped list and the caller specifies a forceFlatList attribute, the base class will do the flattening for you.

Examples

This example shows a typical implementation of a literal list, in this case the date interval list from the Filter dialog:

[MDOProviderPlugin( "FilterFutureDate" )]
public class FilterFutureDateList : LiteralsOnlyBase
{
	protected override void AddItems()
	{
		RawRootItems.Add( new SoListItem( 1, "[SR_DATE_RANGE_3MONTHS]", string.Empty, string.Empty ) );
		RawRootItems.Add( new SoListItem( 2, "[SR_DATE_RANGE_4MONTHS]", string.Empty, string.Empty ) );
		RawRootItems.Add( new SoListItem( 3, "[SR_DATE_RANGE_6MONTHS]", string.Empty, string.Empty ) );
		RawRootItems.Add( new SoListItem( 4, "[SR_DATE_RANGE_1YEAR]", string.Empty, string.Empty ) );
		RawRootItems.Add( new SoListItem( 5, "[SR_DATE_RANGE_2YEAR]", string.Empty, string.Empty ) );
	}
}

Note that using a search in this case yields unexpected results. The search is performed on the raw items, which contains resource tags - and that is not what you actually want to search against. So resources + search do not go together.
