Plugins usage in 3rd-party applications

There are several source examples for those who want to use Total Commander plugins in their applications.

Here is a comment by Christian Ghisler, TC author:

I don't have anything against other authors implementing the Total Commander plugin interface. To the contrary, it's very good - the more programs support it, there more plugins will be available, so Total Commander users will benefit too!

Lister plugins (WLX)

• ATViewer: Delphi source. Special component developed which allows to use Lister plugins in your Delphi applications. The almost complete Lister interface is implemented. Component is also available on Torry.net.
• WDX/WLX Guide: Delphi source. Simple implementation of Lister interface. Handling of many Lister properties is missed.
• WLX2FAR - FAR plugin: C++ source. Plugin for FAR Manager.
• FileCommander: C++ source. FileCommander is a separate file manager on SourceForge, similar to TC, which supports Lister and Content plugins.

Packer plugins (WCX)

• WCX Test: C source. Very simple implementation of Packer interface, many functions are missed.
• WCX Connector - FAR plugin: C++ source. Plugin for FAR Manager.

File-system plugins (WFX)

• WFX All Plugins: Delphi source. Not finished implementation of FS interface. This plugin allows to use other FS plugins through it. If file is missed, contact Pavel Dubrovsky for details.
• WFX2FAR - FAR plugin: C++ source. Plugin for FAR Manager.

Content plugins (WDX)

• WDX/WLX Guide: Delphi source. Correct Content interface implementation, but not the latest version - changing of custom columns values is not supported.
• SuperWDX: Delphi source. Based on WDX/WLX Guide.
• FileCommander: C++ source. FileCommander is a separate file manager on SourceForge, similar to TC, which supports Lister and Content plugins.
