Dll Plugins w. Multiple Types

I need a sample on how to make App load/register plugins, Like 3D Studio Max works, You define what type plugin it is in the Plugin code and app register it where it belongs like
On MainMenu-Filters, MainMenu->File->Import, Create new Dialog in app, File IO aka Import/Export for new formats etc..
I need a good way to do this, It will be controlling about 1000+ Plugins at once.. some Plugins like a Tool Dialog can be active all the time, But Image-Filters are only called when needed etc..

Interfaces - COM etc Welcome.. whatever it has to work with Delphi 3.02 Pro.
Do the plugins already exist? Or are they yet to be written?

Plugin not written yet.. and i would prefere if the System will support VC++ Written Plugins too.. but if not.. so what..
Hi,

I have found a great component that allows you to include plugins in your application.  It is very easy to use, and up to now, I havent had any problems with it.  This component is freeware and full source code is included.

You can download "The UIL Plugin System" from
www.delphipages.com

search for "uil plugin" and the file name is uilps50!

and take a look at the 5 demo apps included.

Regards,

Jorge
Accepted.. Its oki and else i have info i need now to make own System..
But 1 minor thing if u know that..
Runtime-Packages.. i tryed to make a Copy of Forms.Pas -> piForms.pas and make a Package etc.. all this works Fine.
BUT how do i in Project Options tell it to Compile so
only  Package: pi  - will be needed to include with app..
whatever i do it makes Exe aka 19 kb and Require VCL30.DPL

I only want to Decrese Size of App/Plugins for the parts in my PI.DPK Package.

If u wanna see my own coded Plugin System in Action..
First Test :

Go to MediaMaster..

Its very Object-Orientated, And sure more powerfull than the UIL Plugin System..

I was told just to day that NS Users have problems.. and well i wont fix it myself.. I REFUSE to run NETSCAPE, it accisiate it self with HTML/HTM Files without Asking that CRAP

Sample "NO Source"
http://www.bw-soft.com/data/software/mediamaster/sample1.zip
if u dont have VCL30.DPL :
http://www.bw-soft.com/data/software/vcl30.zip
it was me who told you .. I think
I checked it with MSIE 3 and worked..
btw.. NETSCAPE POWER ! MSIE is all CRAP
bryan: Netscape sucks.. we use Iframe and was surpose to be suported since OLD OLD Days  aka NS/IE 2 or so..
well.. ok ok .. even that.. MSIE sucks..
Well bryan. well why should we not tell you to shut up.. i can see you dont know much about what your talking about..

i also HATE Microsoft and MSIE for that sake.. but Netscape is alot worse, Slow and worse..  else i would be using it for sure.. MSIE is Bad yes. but it works and is supported alot more on sites. NS have problems on MANY Sites, so u tell me.. Who is having problems.. no me.. but sounds like you do when u cant enter site hehe :)

hmmm, nice conversation :)

They BOTH SUCK.  Netscape crashes very regularly....specially when downloading files and when viewing pages that contain Java Applets.

MSIE sucks too, (it has a lot of bugs, there are many times when you get a message stating that the site you are visiting is down when it's not according to netscape and lynx) but at least it never crashes on critical situations :)

BTW, I use netscape because i have been using it since Mozilla.

later,

Jorge
Well if a freind of mine finnish a project i wont use any of listed :))
We work on a Small browser also with a Additional Format avalible, a Sytstem so you can have Compressed Sites
aka Faster Browsing.
Would be good for sites with a LOT of Data as Text/HTML
yes Modems have Compession etc, But its not that good.. hehe
""but Netscape is alot worse, Slow and worse""

Slow ???? MSIE is a lot slower.. have u used Netscape enough to say that ? I've been using both at my job.. and definately Netscape is a lot faster.. it was even proved some time ago that Netscape was at least a 30% faster than MSIE
