Running recipe from another package?

Hi,

Is there any way to do this, and how.

I have Package1 with some custom ToolWindow and from that window I want to execute one of the recipes defined in My Guidance Package. It would be nice if Package1 can fill recipe arguments too.

Thanks,

Alex.M.

Hi Alex,

You can actually execute any recipe from any of the installed guidance packages, GAX exposes public services you can ask for and use them to make this happen.

For a jumpstart on this please take a look at this project which supports this:
