Making A PlugIn by AceOfSpades on 04-10-2005 at 04:12 AM

Yo, i know that these PlugIns can be made using any langauge (C++, VB, etc), but still a few questions.
Are PlugIns actual programs, like are they compiled .EXEs or are they .DLLs?
How do you add functions (or commands) to that list that you see when you type "/" somthing (eg: " /xcedpstealer ")
Using VB that is....

And (in VB) is coding DLLs similar to coding EXEs?

Thanx

its a compiled DLL. (Dynamic Link Library).

it's very much similar to coding an exe (in VB). you can still add forms and stuff.

also, to add functions like /xdestroy see the Messenger Plus! Plugin API ;).

theres a few examples in there.
