This is going to sound strange from a long time RB user, but I've been
out of the loop for a while on Web based projects, so here goes anyway.
Oversimplified Scenario:
Imagine (simply) a listbox that lists all of the installed plugins in
the apps "plugins" folder, with a folderitem reference to each plugin
stored in the celltag property. Easy enough.
Then imagine that to the right of that listbox is an empty area that I
would like to embed a containerControl instance in.
Which containerControl instance I embed depends on which plugin from
the list I select, and the instance should be loaded from that plugin
file/binary.
i.e. in the Listboxes change event.
dim cc as containerControl
cc =
folderitem
(me
.celltag
(row,column)).How_Do_I_Get_Objects_Inside_This_Binary.mainContainer
cc.embedwithin self,x,y,width,height
I'm guess what I'm asking is "Is it possible to create an application
that can be functionally extended by plugins (created in REALbasic),
similar in concept to photoshop, OS X mail etc.?"
I've done this a thousand times in scripted environments such as PHP &
javascript, but cannot seem to even map out a workable concept as to
how to start in a compiled environment.
Is there a REALbasic tutorial/demo anywhere that I might get a head
start from.
Thanks All,
Tom
