I am not sure, but maybe the Visual Studio Plugin Project Wizard hasn't been updated to use the new plugin architecture yet? All plugins work with XML data now. Are you sure this Wizard is up to date? We need to check that a.s.a.p...

I don't know, how can I check whether it is up to date? I download it from the link I describe above.

We are terribly sorry, but that forum post you refer to is outdated (as are all all resources on it). With DeleD 1.6, the information passed to and from the plugin system was changed to use XML. As the new system is not backwards compatible with the old one, changing the DeleD version number in the plugin to 1.6 is not enough to get things up and running (i.e. to answer your question, the fact that the marked deled version is < 1.6 is a sure sign the code is outdated).

To get more information on the communication protocol used by the plugins, see the "Plugin SDK" help file (.chm file) that was installed in the DeleD program folder in your start menu. You'll also find it in the Plugins folder of your DeleD installation. If you have any questions in particular, ask away (in these forums or through direct contact)!

I have contacted Salvatore Russo, the author of the VS2005 template, perhaps he can find the time to update it. Meanwhile, I'll mark that particular forum post to warn people that the resources on it are no longer functional with the latest DeleD versions.

Thank you for the reply. The SDK help come with the installation didn't talk about how can I create my plugin in C++. Can you direct me to some place or tutorial which talk about this? Thanks!

Reviving this as I too would like to see a C++ example or get a finger point to where I can find out how to make delphi talk to C++ and visa-versa, or is this even possible?

You can find two plug-ins written in C++ on Googlecode.

http://nuxporter.googlecode.com/

http://levelwalker.googlecode.com/

Note that levelwalker requires some files from nuxporter.

Thankyou. I'll take a look and see if I can figure things out. Smile
