Anyone know where I can find a reference or tutorial for writing plugins?

Try downloading the True Launch Bar SDK for starters. Big Grin

Thanks. Got that already, though. It's just a little...bewildering. Some sort of documentation for it is what I'm after. Or a SIMPLE tutorial project that implements it and provides source code comments...

Heh...you may not like my question then.

How do I start? =)

For instance, how do I create a plugin that's just a clickable button that pops up a MessageBox?

I've looked at the source of several sample plugins but they all seem to do things differently.

OK. Open memmon sample change or remove code from CMemMonBtn: Big Grin

raw where you must draw your button. And add MessageBox into CMemMonBtn::Run()

Code:
STDMETHODIMP CMemMonBtn::Run()

{

    if(m_container)

    {

        HWND hWndBand = m_container->GetBandWND(); // get the toolbar window

        MessageBox(hWndBand, "You've clicked me!", "Title", MB_OK); // Show message box

    }

    return S_OK;

}

and change the value of CLSID_MemMonitorButton in the guid.h using guidgen utility from PSDK.
