Nice work CR

lol, just looking at your date functionc, they're almost identical to my DBPTime plugin I wrote a few months ago.

Two strings walk into a bar. I'll have a pint says the first$%ASLDJ09920D"$"$D. Excuse my friend says the second, he isn't null terminated.

thanks DT.
Yeah, I assume there will be some overlap in our plugin with other plugins as I don't have or use any plugins with dbp. I just kinda started writing ours from the "what I would like to see" point of view. The stuff we are currently working on, or should I say, the stuff we are currently trying to get working () should be pretty cool and original - hopefully

You mean like I mentioned above?

If so, then you are nearing the feeling of the utter disappointment I felt when I discovered that managed types cannot be declared as global variables. Uggg....

That's the one. Managed __GC types (and classes) force any instances to be __GC pointers which cannot be declared as global as we all know. It's a total pain in the ass if you ask me. Formerly I was just creating a totally new instance of the DLL in each function but now I need a global one (both for speed and other reasons). Gah!

TheOneRing, in case you were wondering, the solution to the problem just mentioned is to use Gcroot to wrap the pointer and use it as an unmanaged type. This is quite easy to do. Just:

#include <vcclr.h>

And

gcroot<ClassOrType*> pName;

Then you can use it as any ordinary pointer:

pName->CallFunction();

It can also be declared globally or inside classes so it should work (it does for me). Hope you can get it working for you too.

Awesome! I'm still a little new with .NET as you might have guessed. I looked for a way to do what you described, but I couldn't find it... I'll have to give that a go in a little while. If that works, it means I can use the .NET classes for my newest plugin. Slick!

TheOneRing, I also forgot to mention after defining your class with:

gcroot<ClassOrType*> pName;

You then have to create a new instance of it, this cannot be done globally so is much better done in DBP's DLL constructor code. All you have to do is:

pName = new ClassOrType();

I had a lot of trouble with that as well, I've emailed you a new version of ServProv.h and Urlmon.h, they're used internally by VC++ but there is ambiguity causing the error so I've fixed both files so they should work. Simply place them in your poject directory with all your other includes and add them to your project.

After doing that you'll probably get a couple new errors that I'll have to see and tell you how to fix. A lot of project settings have to be changed to get the DLL to work right, it's a bloody pain but once you know what to change it's easy.

Oh yes, and in Visual Studio open up the 'Tools > Options' menu and go to the 'Projects > VC++ Directories' screen. Change the drop down box in the top right corner of this screen to 'Include files' and make sure the list has a entry that says "$(ProjectDir)" at the very top of the list, if there's no entry then add it in. If it's down the bottom then just keep pressing the up arrow so it's at the top. This means it will use the header files I gave you before the ones in the Visual Studio directory.

I'm curious, how's work going on this plugin currently? What're the future plans for it?
