There is an SDK. Although I haven't looked at it, I hear that it's a little light on documentation right now. But it's better than nothing...

Yuri, it might be helpful if you included a Makefile in each of the sample plug-ins in the SDK. It's probably easier for you to export one from Studio than for everyone to write one, at any rate. Smile

This would enable folks to download the free MS Visual C++ Toolkit ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ )and the free Platform SDK components ( http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/plat...sdkupdate/ ) and start experimenting.

I'm working on throwing something together, but my Makefile skills are a lot rusty - I'm pretty sure the Studio export is a lot better at it than I am...

Hello SKIL and Welcome!

Not every plugin idea is on the official plugin page found here.

Some of us have created/modified the Weather Monitor plugin to do a few things found in this post. Take a look and see what you think. Big Grin

Be seeing you.

QSection, TS has posted his message on May 31th and hasn't returned ever since, I doubt that he will see your remark Wink

Besides I think this is about the programming of plugins, in contrast to customizing plugins (like the Weather Monitor).

About plugin development, a makefile would indeed be easy to re-make an example plugin, and see how to build one yourself. Even better would be a Delphi framework, but that has been requested before by mark76uk I believe... Smile

My attempt at doing a Delphi plugin. Been a while ago, and to be honest I didn't have any time to look at it again, but it might serve as a starting point for someone who knows enough about COM and C++ to translate the thing... would love to see it too one day Smile
