yes, but this is what OCX(activex) is good at ! and even DCOM etc..
but if you want to do your own thing you can create a DLL and have a
common function that gives you back a pointer to a record that will have
the info about the plug into.
like Title Name, requirements etc..
this would be something you most likely would want to load at run time.
and also keep an index file with your app of the list of these DLL's
what most do is make sure the master initiation function ask for handle
info, things like Surface handle, window whandle etc..
depending on what you app does to start with..
