Thanks Mike, here is what Studio 2010 automatically puts in the xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WidgetType xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <Name>LinkToView</Name> <Type>LinkToView</Type> <Location /> <Extension /> </WidgetType>
does this look correct? thanks gordon I think it is a matter of adding a <Widget> entry for it and an entry in the toolbar <Container> in the AppDef.
