SB_ELEMENT_PATH

#define SB_ELEMENT_PATH

This macro provides a std::string containing the path where the SAMSON Extension is installed.

When SAMSON is running, SAMSON Extensions are located at a specific location in the SAMSON installation folder. When a SAMSON Extension needs to retrieve a resource, (e.g. an icon), this macro may be used to easily locate the resource.

For example, for SAMSON Extensions generated by the SAMSON Extension generator, icons are located in the resource folder. When the SAMSON Extension needs to return an icon, the macro may be used as follows:

return QPixmap(QString::fromStdString(SB_ELEMENT_PATH + "/Resource/icons/logo.png"));
