Plug-In Development Articles

[johngb]

I notice that a very early article of mine has been placed at the front of the Plug-In section.
It was my first attempt at using VB to connect the API. I have since abandoned VB in favour of Delphi which I find a much nice language to use.

Whilst the article and I suspect the attachments are still valid, DaveS's VB add-in is a much more comprehensive solution and I would suggest you include this up front in addition to my article.

It might be an idea to have a Plug-in and Library development section where these and similar subjects could be discussed as, in my experience, only a few users ever get down to writing plug-ins and just as few get to writing macros or Libraries.

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

Even the VB add-in is a bit dated, OK for VB6.
For VB.net it might be worth asking Steven Wright if we can publish the 'Swordfish Plugin API Class for Visual Basic.Net', it should work with the "mcPluginMgr.dll", with a slight modification.
The Delphi Api needs updating with the new additions to the mcPluginMgr.dll.
I second Johns idea on the Plug-in and Library development sections, for the reasons above.

It appears that article was accidentally moved from the user site which was outdated.

I have copied across the API downloads from the wiki into a new article and "unpublished" the old article.
