Multi-DLL plugins? by yagiz.y on 06-10-2006 at 11:19 AM
Has anybody tried to write a plugin that used additional DLLs?
I can't get my plugin working. I am using a plain DLL (non-COM) in addition to the plugin's DLL, but my plugin does not show up in the list in preferences.
Does one have to write COM components to create multi-DLL plugins?

You can use whatever you want (including multiple DLLs). It doesn't matter if you call functions from another DLL from inside that main DLL (calling Windows APIs is a nice example. All those Windows APIs are included in other DLLs too).
But the main DLL, the actual DLL which gets loaded by Messenger Plus!, must be programmed in the proper way so it is reconized as a Plus! plugin.
See the plugin documentation and examples:
