Plugin Examples incl. DUI example

[Ron]

Hi Guys,

It was high time for a couple of examples on how to use the DUI stuff for real.

There are 2 examples, the first one is the sendmessage plugin, it is a very basic easy to understand plugin.

The second example is a full blown example on the DUI. Comments and suggestions are very welcome.

You'll need beta 8+ to run these.

would it be useful if i stripped down my media player plugin into a basic example of using the dui in delphi?

[Ron]

Sure if you feel like doing that.

Could you enumerate the fields and field types for the LUA objects that represent the different widgets?

Examples from the code:
For an edit box the fields are: .Text (string) and .Enabled (bool)
For a check box the fields are: .Caption (string), .Enabled (bool) and .Checked (bool)

After releasing the alpha I just jumped on my bike and drove a couple of miles, darn I am out of shape after not biking into campus anymore. :-)

Anyway with my foggy head I'd say look at the manual, i've listed all the fields there. Is that what you mean or do you mean doing this in code?

heres the delphi dui example, enjoy

Manual? Doh! It's in the help file, of course. Nevermind. ops:

[Ron]

Yeah that page with title 'Regular Expressions' heading. Pfff I can't believe I missed that one. Anyway I can see how you didn't think of looking at the manual, since G3.3 really didn't have any. Would you believe that we are actually having a professional doing the manual! :-) The one that is included is the one I started doing, the real thing is under development and should be ready come release time.

[Ron]

A little tip.

If your plugin has a lot of action that all go into a new group of your own simply 'hook' that group instead of all the separate action pages!

Hi I'm trying to get this DUI stuff to work with Delphi, so thanks for your example.

However a bunch of included files are missing, and I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find them. Especially lua and lauxlib which I guess are lua type and function definitions? But also GShared and GCore - I guess those are girder type and function definitions?

If these files are publicly available I'd really appreciate a pointer to where I can find them :-)
