Hello!

I just wanted to tell tyou that I now know why I'm not a VB developer.. damn, there's nothing you can do with this language! anyway, I just felt like complaining a little.. I'm adding some new features in the plugin support for the next beta, all the C code is done since this afternoon and I'm still on VB support. 

"Le chek Amir avait une fille qui s'appelait Yasmina, lorsqu'elle devient ma p'tite amie le chek n'apperciat pas..." . Never develop without music

What a weird post.

thanx patchou!! great prog

I feel the same way about VB as you Patchou...
But VB is a lot more easier to use.. so.. if u don't need pointers... u're safe with VB .. anyway.. that's my opinion...

Can't wait for the new features!

hahaha... VB easier to use? yeah, for you it is, for me it's not.... I'm the one who's paying for your easy life lol . Making raw calls to vb functions is a real pain and vb doesn't support half of what C supports for normal use (like arrays as function parameters... pff)

Well.. I'm almost finished
Patchou

Umm.. what I was trying to say, is that for simple apps, VB is better to use cause u dont have to write up lots of code... and i hate typing a lot... lol.

yeah I know, but you have to keep in mind that something, somewhere always has to pay tohe price for this simplicity. Messenger Plus! being an application calling a VB module, I have to write 5 pages of C code to be able to call the functions in your VB modules . However, I agree it should be worth it as most of you develop in VB .

Yay!

Did you take into account my suggestions?

I agree with both of you Alex and PatchOU
VB = easier for simple stuff but harder to do complicated stuff
And VB requires the person to have the VB Runtimes installed, and it won't work on any other platform (without the aid of extra programs) and, finally, much harder to create cross-language support

ever tried the vb.net, it is much much much better then the older versions. unfortenately, you cannot use it for making plugins for the simple reason that not enough people have the framework installed .

xerxis > you'll be able to do it soon, i think the framework will be packed into the SP2...

cool
then my next plugins will be in vb.net ofcours

i love vb, altough i have to admit that sometimes c++ dll's are required to make a fast program

Misterjad, a compiled *windows* c++ code works under wine, not stand-alone. If you try to create a console app in windows, chances are (i think 90%) that ur app will also compile in linux without any modifications... However, MFC, API based, .Net framework based (generally framework-based ones) will not compile and support for those in linux is limited because u have to port the framework as well.

NICE new features! I like especially the PLUGIN_PARAM struct
