Well.. I'm after some help if possible,
I would like to add the ability in FI to use plugins. Now I've never wrote / coded for these so need someone with a bit of experience in helping me achieve this.
Ideally it would be nice if FI accepted RR plugins if at all possible. FI is coded in VB.net 2010 and I'm more than happy to send someone my source to laugh at and also help get this thing moving.
please apply below.. :-p
I'll take a look if you don't mind.
I'm dying to get my plugins into FreeICE.
Accepting RR plugins striaght in would probably not be the best way, you would then have to copy the main way RR does things as it's skin based.
But I'm sure we can come up with something.
Hi fella,
Would be good to get you onboard, let me just finish up the internet checker and I will fire you over a pm with a link.. O and apols for the poor coding.. lol

OpenMobile uses plugins and is opensource so you could have a look at it's plugin engine.
It's pretty straight forward thought. If needed I could help out explaining a bit.
It's not vb.net though but c#.
Thanks fella... I'm nearly there (I think) just struggling with STA MTA threading.. tbh I aint got a clue.. lolQuote:

Now I've tried setting the main form to STA, but I understand it would be anyway as standard.. so I'm lost atm. :-(
Might have another go in the morning but I still need to finish of a couple of things ready for tomorrows release.

You have to invoke you call on the forms thread. Have a look at form.invoke and it should get you a bit further.
Basically you need something like this:
form.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { Your code goes here... });
I'm not 100% sure that's the error you have since I don't know your code but it sounds like the problem I explained.
Hi Borte,
I had a bit of a read on invoke.. etc last night but things just didnt make sense. I will have another go today. Really appreciate the pointer. Just out of interest you wouldn't have vb.net 2010 installed on your machine would you ? ;-)
I've got the full VS2010 with all languages so, yes! ;-)Quote:

This "take over" is done by invoking your code onto the main GUI thread so that access to controls or GUI objects is done via the correct thread.
you know what's coming next...... pm sent :-)
