Plugin Enabled Application
Hi could some one please give me a sample source code of an
application that detects if a dll exists and if it does load it as a plugin?
I have seen PluginDemo (something like it) at torry's, but it's not good enough for me.
What I want the sample app to do is to load load different forms depending on the found dll (the form and menu title is specified in the dll) files.
thank you very much,
Rob

Hi There Rob & Jorge.
If you both give me your emails (sorry Jorge, I have lost yours), I will send you a cut down version of the plugin interface I use for most of my applications. Its very easy to use, and generally only needs a few lines of code, plus an interfacing unit which I will also send you.
Cheers,
Stuart.

If its not too much of an imposition, I would also be interested in that code.

If you want to get really funcky then you can use a combination of COM / ActiveX forms/ Custom COM Categories to create a truly extensible component based application. I know - that what Ive done for my company such that all the customer applications that we produce sit within a GUI console using their own GUI ocx, register their capablities in the registry under the COM Catergorys key's and then implement all their business functionality in a series of backend COM servers.

Well, I think it's time for you to put it online (something like a Plug-in-SDK for Delphi). I tried the Plug-in example at Torry's, also, but I am very interested in your code.
Would be happy to receive a copy, too.

That's strange, I just received 2 messages from you :)
As a matter of fact, I'm testing them right now
That problem is because I have an alias that points to another account on another server and that might just be the problem!
Please post an answer (since you where the only one to help me and the others out) and I will grade it later on today ok?
thank you very much,
Robert

Hi Rob,
I have no problems posting an answer, but I would honestly like you to try it before hand just to make sure it works OK for you. I'm pretty sure it will give you a good starting point without too much coding.
Please let me know if you have any problems or if you want a bit more information. You have my email address now.
Best wishes,
Stuart.

I'm very interested in this question too.
If Rob's points are not enough, I will post a question with a few more to the one who answers it :-)

BTW, the demo at torry's is good (in my opinion), but I found it quite complicated to understand :(
