Hi, > ..Can anybody explain me the context and interface for the functions > in a plugin (well, I try to guess something myself):
Based on the AV interface (and I think TBP API won't be much different): > function TBP_GetStatus: Integer; stdcall; should return status of you plugin, 0 is OK, -3 is Error. > function TBP_NeedConfig: Integer; stdcall; return 0 if you provide a configuration dialog. > function TBP_NeedCOM: Integer; stdcall; return 0 if your plugin will create instance of an COM object. TB! will call CoInitialize() before calling your plugin. > function TBP_Setup: Integer; stdcall; Should display an configuration dialog. > ...So, here do my questions begin: what is the meaning of every of this > functions? See above :) > As I guess it must return "zero" if all is right. How other results are > interpreted? Just as "non-zero", or an exact value is also important? Zero is OK, any negative value is an error. > And also what is the algorithm when The Bat! receives, for example > "TBP_NeedConfig=0"? Does it mean that in this case the "TBP_Setup" will > be called as the next function? Not really, if NeedConfig returns 0, a Setup can be called and the config button will be enabled. Also, if enabled by NeedConfig, TB! can call Setup after manual installation of the plugin (not sure about anti-spam plugins, is true for AV plugins). -- Petr Prazak GRISOFT, s.r.o. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBDEV" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
