Plugin change in Plus! 2.21 by Patchou on 09-06-2003 at 04:30 PM

Hello,

Messenger Plus! 2.21 will be released soon. In this version, the Initialize() function of C/C++ plugins will be called in thew main thread. What does it mean? simply that you can create a window if you want :). Also, people using other languages such as Delphi may find that some of their problems are fixed.

What about VB plugins? And why that change?

Ah, nice PatchOU :)
Are there any other changes in 2.21?
Any of those highly requested features (hint hint) ;)

for VB there's no change as Initialize() was already called in the same thread :).

As for other new plugin features, I guess not, I'm still not sure about the security implications :)

Ah well, can't have everything I guess :)
But this does mean that I can do my WMP Plugin without the need for a seperate executable (because it needs a window to be created)
Shame there isn't anything to change the nickname without forcing it to type /nick or anything though.
