Regarding customizing the UI for a device

Hello,
I am just starting with writing a plug-in for Motion Builder 2012 using the C++ Open Reality SDK. I have been modifying the included "device_template" sample to learn how Motion Builder communicates with devices. When looking through the layout code for the sample I didn't see any area that defined the area of the device's layout that contains the 'Online' button, 'Live' and 'Recording' checkboxes, 'Model binding' drop-down menu, and device version text box area. Is this part of the layout defaulted for all classes inheriting from "FBDeviceLayout"? Can any of the components be removed or altered (in particular the "model binding" drop-down menu)?

Thanks for your time and help. Cheers,
Sam Bushman

Unfortuntely this area is not exposed to the layout of a device in the OR SDK and you cannot change them, if for example you are not using the model binding in your custom device it will just be greyed out. Yes this part of the layout is defaulted for all classes inheriting from "FBDeviceLayout". The area to the right of these components (online, live, recording, model binding, device info) is the only thing that is customizable.
