RBase Help>Index>PLUGINS>PLUGINS * Note the All Caps. That is how they are displayed in the Help File.
There is an example of Delphi Source Code for a Plugin there as well as the distinguishing differences between the two main types (101 for Command line Plugins) and (100 for developmental Menu accessible Plugins) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Casey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 4:37 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Existing .Net Application Thanks for the response, I am definitely interested in #3 and #4. I have been looking through the help files online for both 7.6 and 8.0 and I can't find anything about the plug-ins. Is there a specific place I should be looking for to find this documentation?

There is extensive information in the helpfiles to guide you in the preparation and structure for the development of: 1. A "Special DLL" that works as an RBase "UDF" User Defined Function. 2. Another that allows the usage of any language, including Scripting languages that works as an RBase "WINUDF" User Defined Function. 3. RBase Plugins that are a DLL variant that Tells RBase about its' availability and its' disposition whenever RBase is started. This type can be called from the command line when compiled a certain way, and can be listed as a menu item in the development environment of RBase when compiled a slightly different way. 4. Standard WIN32 DLLs can also be called from RBase as long as they can match up with the RBase standard DataTypes. So the short answer is yes. The long answer, can your existing codebase be incorporated is "probably", but may require some structural alteration to fit one of the 4 above.

If so, I would like to know the program you used to develop this and if there were any design considerations so that it could work within RBASE. I am aware of the CodeStudio, but I am not sure if this is the only or best solution available. Also, we have quite a few small .net applications running. I would like to be able to integrate those into RBASE. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Thanks, Mike
