i'm not surprised at all, plugin system has been snubbed for other features. i'll have a look at it since i know at least 4 of you who would like to test it.

i have no other experience about plugins other than this, and someone suggested me to use DDE technology.
i need your comments, since i'm unexperienced

DDE tecnology is little slower but easy in coding.
Maybe it's not so portable but i don't think u plan in multiplatform porting of &rq.

As Rejeytto knows i'm interested in making plugins... i work in C so if the plugin system is DDE it's easy.

The plugin is in DLL format as well but don't call exported functions but send only DDE messages.
As for Rejetto the system is easy to implement.

As an example.. the first i thought... a winamp plugin for mirc. It works via DDE and send mirc DDE messages to the command console. Clean and simple.

So i think DDE should be the simplest method for us and for Rejetto

so...i'll take a look at DDE tech, i saw those VCLs in delphi

 

[rejetto]

my delphi distribution lacks of dde examples.

could someone send me an easy to read DDE client/server example?

 

[rejetto]

ok, i got dde working, but...
there's no problem in having several processes running, one per plugin?

then I tries &dk I get

[Error] plugintest.dpr(124): Undeclared identifier: 'AMID_userStartup'
[Error] plugintest.dpr(124): Duplicate case label

on

  AMID_userStartup:
    currentUIN:=msg.uin;

if I comment this 2 lines it compiles but the dll-file created doesn't work in &rq (&rq don't find it)

that have I made wrong =) I just downloaded the code's...

The help is necessary....
Help please with a spelling of a plug-in...
When I collect an example from PDK, it is connected to &RQ withot a problem... But, when I bring the slightest changes (even in the name of a plug-in) the program of it does not see.

[rejetto]

what change?
