Sample Plugin code

[scanner2001]

I am looking at developing a new plugin. Could someone post an example plugin code in c++, it can be simple, so that I could review it? I would like something beyond the stubbed out wizard.

Thanks,
Jeff

I agree, that would be really helpful

Great news! This source just came in for the Eval plug-in. Thank you Christian Zangl for making this source code available!

Eval.zip

Thanks Candice for saving me the work of posting it myself!

I should note that this is not exactly 'clean' code - but I hope it helps!

Thankyou, this should be a great help.

Dear tofutim,

Probably you missed that InstallAware actually comes with Plug-in sample projects available for MS VC++ or Delphi.

Click the InstallAware button, then choose New Project Other.
On the Plug-Ins tab, pick a plug-in template.

I did miss that. I only found empty templates for VC++ and Delphi that are non-working (no dialog or text). Where are the samples?

[FrancescoT]

Dear tofutim,

those are Plugins projects templates examples and contains all the required code to have a plugin working!!

It is supposed that a C++ or Delphi developer already knows how to display a dialog using Win API.

For the future, it would be nice to include '__declspec(dllexport) int WINAPI DesignTimeText(const char* State, char* Text)' in the template example, as well as returning and filling State/Text. It turned out that I forgot to update 'mIDEPlug.def' with DesignTimeText, so it wasn't working. All good now!

[FrancescoT]

That's true ... is missed the function prototype declaration.

Regards.
