Trying to develop a FS plugin

[fg_2002fr]

Hi Christian,

I posted the source of dircpy on my site. it is a very basic packer but everybody could be use it to make MFC lister, packer or filesystem.

you can download it here :

Where did you include windows.h?

You are right. I have deleted the line which includes windows.h and the error has gone.

But then another error arised. The complier tells me that there are two DllMain defined.

As fg_2002fr told me (in topic http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=4147&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=), if i want to create a MFC based plugin, it is better to create a MFC Dll with Visual studio wizard, and copy the exported functions and the other stuff. I haven't try yet due to my spare time...

As ghisler said, it would be easier to beginners (like me) if a MFC plugin source was provided. It will avoid such "work arounds".

Hello plug-in and MFC developers,

how to create a modeless MFC child dialog inside a lister plug-in (WLX)?

In ListLoad() I do

Code: Select all

__declspec(dllexport) HWND __stdcall ListLoad(HWND ParentWin, char* FileToLoad, int ShowFlags)
{
  CMyDlg dlg(CWnd::FromHandle(ParentWin));
  theApp.m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
  dlg.Create(IDD_MY_DLG, CWnd::FromHandle(ParentWin));
  dlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
  return dlg.m_hWnd;
}

but this does not seem to work since I get an empty lister window. If I debug inside ListLoad() I can see that dlg.m_hWnd is not NULL and the dialog is correctly placed inside the lister window. But after leaving ListLoad() my dlg has gone.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello tbeu,

seems that "dlg" is a local variable. try instead

CMyDlg *dlg;
...
dlg = new CMyDlg(...);
dlg->Create(...);
...
return dlg->GetSafeHwnd();
