Hiya - has anyone here written any applications that use "plugins" and
"extensions" to extend the use of their application?
Currently I'm using dynamically loaded .dll's to provide a plugin system
for my application, only, delphi bloats .dll's quite a bit making each
one around 100-150k, which is compleatly overkill when the function
being called is only 5-10 lines long (the functions often create a
TQuery and connect into a database to perform lookups).
Has anyone experimented with using other forms of plugin methods?? I've
thought about looking at using a scripting language, such as MS
Scripting Host (where can I download that from anyway?) but wasn't sure
about how I could use that to link back into my database to perform
calculation lookups.
Does anyone know how it works?? Can I make certain
variables/events/objects in my application available to the MS Scripting
engine or what???
Thanks in advance,
Mark Derricutt
