- Creating plugins in RB.
Plugins for RB or plugins for other applications ?
RB plugins in RB seems nice but if you can make it in in RB
then why not just make a module/class and use it ?
Because, from what I can tell, plugin-based controls get a nice
icon; user created classes do not.
a nice icon is really not that important to me :)
Of course, I don't mean just the little icon you see in the
toolbar window, but the one you get when you drag a control of
that type onto a window (i.e. the control's visual representation
that you can move, resize, etc...)
I realize that and it's still not valuable on that basis
'Valuable' is in the eye of the beholder (just don't step in front
of the 'death ray' eye, or you'll be rolling a 'Save vs. Death Ray'
real quick!)
Consider how difficult (and frustrating) it would be to use even
the built-in controls if they didn't offer this visual feedback (esp.
w/regards to their visual state changing as you modify their
properties in the properties window)!! Methinks thou dost protest too
much!
IF RB could create libraries usable by other tools (photoshop, etc)
then it could probably also generate plugins for RB
That has more usefulness in general but is probably significantly
more difficult
