Hi Brad, The plugins are designed to be entirely encapsulated within themselves and not to export any symbols, save for any C function entry points for enabling static linking of plugins. This decoupled approach does mean that you don't have any public interface to access internals classes/methods. In general this isn't an issue though.
What specifically about the DirectShowTexture header do you need access to? It may be that you do what you want within any specific access to it. Keeping a loose coupling is generally the best programming approach as it enables you to change you backend implementation easily - such as if you needed to support a new platform. Robert.
