Oh, I misunderstood you.
I thought that you suggested to pass Form Window's handle to ListLoad. But you just suggested to position plugin window properly.

Both are true! Use your MainForm as a parent to plugin's window (that will force Imagine to show its toolbar) and position plugin's window over desired Panel. Both Panel and plugin's window will be children of the MainForm and you can control their Z-order and size freely.

Thanks for hint, implemented it.

Please check does IniEd plugin unload correctly by your code. I'm getting AV on ListCloseWindow. Is the problem in plugin?

IniEd crashes with my project also. It seems to me that it is IniEd problem related to unproper stack memory usage/allocation or similar.

I have problems with Office.wlx too: it doesn't redraw on first call. I tried to call SendMessage(hWnd, WM_PAINT...), no sucess.

Works like a charm here. Does plugin redraw its window after resizing it by mouse?

Yes, after horizontal resizing.
Without resizing it draws empty space on the top of doc.

But now I wrote another WLX loader (with similar code): no problems in it... Strange...

So try to emulate resizing (SetWindowPos).
IMHO this problem is similar to Imagine's one (initial resizing).

This (problem with office.wlx) is somehow solved in my second loader (ATViewer). Although I didn't change anything.

Another question: can you confirm this TBeu's bugreport with your loader?:

I confirm it.
Are the problems in plugins?

It is more likely that something have been changed, but you just don't realize what exactly.

FileInfo works fine, SynPlus crashes inside ListLoad function.

You can easily check my loader by yourself, I have posted sources with compiled exe here.

Of course...

Well, FileInfo works fine but unloads with exception.

SynPlus: maybe you specified incorrect info in ListSetDefaultParams, e.g. API version number (I use 1.30).
Works fine here, only error in unloading.

Thanks. I have forgot about them.

FileInfo handles all my impacts without a single crash. Respect to its author.

SynPlus: maybe you specified incorrect info in ListSetDefaultParams, e.g. API version number (I use 1.30).

I found it. I called ListLoad with ShowFlags = 0, but when I set it properly (lcp_* combination) SynPlus works just fine. No crashes on load and on unload also.

Here is sources and compiled exe to play with.

Unload errors are fixed now. They were because I forgot to close plugin window before destroying form.

PS Little fix to your source: low DWORD of plugin version interface must be 50, not 5.

Yep, that's true. Thanks!
