The following lets you pop-up your own dialog box to edit the documentation.
It would be very similar to edit a property. (You'd have to get the property
value and then set it rather than setting the Documentation). This is a
little more involved then just adding a property to a .pty file, but it is
still pretty straight-forward.
To get and set property values, if you were using an operation, you'd use
something like:
value = operation.GetPropertyValue("toolName", "propertyName")
result = operation.OverrideProperty("toolName", "propertyName", "value")
Hope this helps,
James.
