  • Understanding Plugins


    This tutorial discusses the theory behind how plugins work in, common sense, walk along terms. Included is a sample project that gives you a good clean framework to start with and will teach you how to easily code your own plugins.

    In the article I also touch on what plugins can access, how to hook events of host form objects, and describe how COM is language independent.

    In last phase, I provide 4 sample plugins so that you can show developers in other languages how to work with this framework. Examples include clients written in Visual Basic 6, Visual C++ 6, Visual J++, and even a VBScript COM object plugin example using Windows Script Components.
