Title: Add Form to DLL
Post by: Brad Warmuskerken on November 17, 2004, 04:46:29 PM
I know I've seen it posted either here or on PB's forum, but I'd like to add another vote for the ability to have a form in my DLLs.

Thanks :)

Can I add another 10 votes for this, I am working on an application that will use plugin reports in the form of dll's. I need to be able to add a form to each dll in order to get the report parameters.

Hi John,

Yeah, I saw your post over on the PB forum about Forms in a DLL. I am rewriting the code generator and will 'hopefully' get it in there. I need this functionality as well so you can be assured that it is very high "The List".

Great News! I have FINALLY got this wish implemented. A new property called "Export" now exists in the Form's PropertyList. Setting it to True will allow the Form to have an exported definition. I have also revamped much of the internal code generation in order to allow you to add Forms to DLL's (however, you can not add MDI Forms to DLLs).

This feature was a long time coming but it will certainly prove to be a valuable addition.

Yahooo!

Thanks Paul!  I'll be very excited to try out this feature when it becomes available.  I've been doing what I need in DDT, but I'd much rather use FF adnd SDK.
