plug-ins are dlls.
learn how to code dlls first.
as for plugins, each program that uses such has it own set of rules/functions for a plugin to use.
Oh do someone have resources ?
Im not realy sure, because, the dlls normaly contains function, wich were called from the programm. I would like do make such plugins MirandaICQ has.

More than saying a plugin as a dll, it is a "in-proc COM server". If you are quite comfortable with COM programming, it just takes very less effort to learn add-ins.
Why I have to laern COM ? I want to programm the Add-Ins in C++.
Bye !
But alot of them use the same PRINCIPAL as COM, the abstract base class.
WinAmp plugins ARE NOT COM OBJECTS....., and actually I don't think they use the abstract base class either.
Another way to create plugins is to have a *.dll just export a few functions that are defined by the plugin API designer, and be loaded dynamically. II-S allows non-COM object plugins, this is how it does it (although there is a COM way) - and I believe this is how WinAmp does it as well.
The only reason to say COM (and related in a way, .NET) is so that other languages can use it - although - this is a PLUGIN conversation and it would depend on how the designer designed his plugin architecture.
I have been wanting to write my plugin for winamp as I extensively use winamp as my entertaining agent :) Can you please provide me with some information or some links where I can learn on writing winamp plugins?Quote:
