New Type Converter - how to install

quick question...

I just wrote a ScaledDecimalToText type converter and I would like to use it
in the
view composer.  ( it hides the 's' from the user but always ensures
ScaledDecimal for
accounting purposes )

how do i get it to list itself in the type converter selection list? (btw it
is a subclass of NumberToText)

thanks,
steve

Look at ValueConvertingControlView<<applicableTypeConverterCategories and
its implementation in the subclasses.  It looks like it is using the class
categories to screen for inclusion (really quite cool, I think).  So if you
look at the classification of NumberToText ('MVP-Type Converters-Text') you
would want to classify your class the same way.  This can be done from the
Class\Category... menu.

Thanks Chris...

yes, i found this class category thing but there was one additional step.
for some reason i had to remove the TextEdit  field and replace it with a
new
one in the view.  after doing this my type converter showed up.

cheers,
steve

i take it back, i didn't need to delete and replace the TextEdit.  for some
reason
it works tonight without that step.  (maybe i was suffering from tunnel
vision last night.)

good luck all.
