Re: Module, plug-ins,..

With Delphi win32 you could use COM plugin components,
with a standard set of interfaces which you specify.
You can query the registry to get a list of the registered
COM libraries in a particular category which you specify.
Using COM can be more powerful than using basic DLLs, and has the
advantage over packages that you can write the plugins in
other languages than Delphi/C++Builder - eg Visual Basic or Visual C++.

This sounds like a lot of work ... and it requires plugin authors to
write COM servers, which is harder than writing COM consumers, which
is hard enough.

I don't think it is any more work that writing a package plugin
architecture.
Whichever method you use, you still have to design the interfaces
which will be used to query for capabilities and pass data back
and forth.
It aint trivial whichever method you choose.

cheers,

Chris
