mooman_fl Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 (edited) Plugin-based app with plugin GUI tutorial First of all I want to thank divil for his wonderful tutorial on plugin-based apps. I have put together a simple companion tutorial for making a plugin-based app that adds a GUI contained in the plugin to your host form. Please take a look and tell me what you think. BTW... the code in the PluginServices Class file is still all divil's code. I saw no reason to change it since it did such a wonderful and simple job at enumeration of available plugins. Full credit is given to him for this in the Readme. Attention to management: If you consider this worthy you can add it to the Code Library or Tutors Corner, whichever is appropriate.

Ariez Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Could we get a link to that tutorial please..thanx Quote Auto-suggestion: "I have a life" Uncontroled thinking: "So what the.."
mooman_fl Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 LOL... look at the readme in the zip file. The tutorial in in the comments. The program files are HEAVILY commented. I may make a .pdf later with the tutorial in that format... but for now the comments if taken in the order recommended should be MORE than sufficient.

Ariez Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 ahh. ok. Quote Auto-suggestion: "I have a life" Uncontroled thinking: "So what the.."
*Gurus* divil Posted March 28, 2003 *Gurus* Posted March 28, 2003 You beat me to it! I was going to write another tutorial covering adding a GUI and inherited plugins :) Quote MVP, Visual Developer - .NET Now you see why evil will always triumph - because good is dumb.

mooman_fl Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 Well you are the one responsible for my understanding the subject and as I mentioned you are given full credit for this (and for the bit of code that i retained from your original project). Feel free to add what you want to and repost it. :) Quote "Programmers are tools for converting caffeine into code." Madcow Inventions -- Software for the Sanity Challenged.
kusanagihk Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 sorry still don't know where the tutoiral is Sorry, can you distribute the URL for the Plugin Tutorial? I can't find any readme file in the zip, only your email address. Actually, I'm working with some classmates on a photo enhancing system which will involve "plugin" for sure. I think your tutorial will be quite interesting to our project Thanks Quote
mooman_fl Posted November 13, 2003 Author Posted November 13, 2003 The tutorial is the comments (it is VERY heavily commented code) in the source itself. If divil or whoever wants to update the zip in a day or so I can have a new zip to go in the code library that has a tutorial in HTML files. :D BTW... the "readme" is the first text file you see as you enter the main directory. It give a list of what each directory is and which project to start with for the tutorial. Quote "Programmers are tools for converting caffeine into code."

*Experts* Volte Posted November 13, 2003 *Experts* Posted November 13, 2003 If you can post the zip here, we can update it for you no problem. Quote
kusanagihk Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Updates of the zip file Oh Thanks! Please help me to update the zip file. BTW, please update the "readme.txt" file since the tutorial's URL is my first concern, if there are new source codes, please also update it Thanks againpluginexample.zip Quote
bri189a Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Yes... I can read the VB... .NET is great for that.... I don't have VB so to run this I'd have to change all the code... a daunting task... that is why I ask... Quote
