Register a plugin

[Dracula]

Yuri, when one has built a DLL, how does he get TLB to recognize it as a plugin?

I put the DLL inside its own subdirectory in TLB/plugins/ (is this required?), and used "regsvr32 myplugin.dll", which gave a success message. However, no entry shows up in the "New" list...

You must restart TLB also. Other way run the command

Code:

tlbref.exe /P

This utility refresh the plugins list.

tlbref.exe in inside attached zip.

I thought TLB didn't require a restart when you install a new plugin, for example using the Component Manager? So somehow, those plugins register on-the-fly...

Please correct me if I'm wrong here...

Every plugin setup runs tlbref.exe
