Re: Good plugin system ?

As has been mentioned, bpl's allow sharing of memory and an easier way for
plugins to access the host application forms and classes. However, if you
want to allow third-parties to develop addins for your product, they will be
restricted to developing them in the same version of Delphi/BCB that the
main product was developed in.

This is the reason we went down the DLL route. It is harder to develop the
initial framework, but means that the end-user is not restricted to a
particular tool/version to develop their own addins.

Cheers

Hi,

Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, does anybody know of a good and simple
plugin system/framework for D7 ? BTW, are bpl really an advantage against
dll ?
