 |
|
Hi John:
I want to learn how to make a plugin/addon for BDS2005 (aka 2005).
I need to write it in Delphi? or can I use C++?
All versions of BDS2005 are plugin-enabled? (i want to buy/download the
cheapest until BDS/c++ becomes a reality).
Where can I get the documentation?
Thanks.
Saludos
Sebastian.

I have not looked into the Delphi 2005 Open Tools API, but my guess is
that it will require the latest VCL in some form or other, so BCB based
on VCL6 will not cut it.
Not sure whether C# would be possible, as I am not sure how much of the
new product is delivered on top of .NET.

There are two entry points into the OpenTools API for Delphi 2005.
Native (Delphi Win32) and .NET (Any Language .NET Delphi/C#)
Both have slightly different feature sets. Such as if you need to
access the CODEDOM you should use the .NET side.
All versions of Delphi 2005 have the Open Tools API available. I have
not see the .Net side documented (although the interfaces are very
similar to the Win32 Side)
In D2005 help system, there is some documentation on the open tools api.
It can be located here.

I don't know if you can use C++ can be used to create a plugin, but I
suspect you might be able to on the .NET side if you have the .NET C++
compiler.
