GetPluginInfo

The GetPluginInfo function is called to get general plugin information.
void WINAPI GetPluginInfo(
  struct PluginInfo *Info
);

Parameters

Info
Points to a PluginInfo structure that should be filled by this function. The plugin must fill this structure.

Return value

None.

Remarks

  1. This function is called before the following actions:
    • before the plugins configuration menu is shown
    • before the plugin commands menu (F11) is shown
    • before the disks menu (Alt-F1/Alt-F2) is shown
    • when a command with a prefix is entered in the command line (for example, net:\\share).
  2. Because this function gets called frequently, time consuming operations should not be done within it.
  3. The PluginInfo structure passed to this function is already filled with zeros. The plugin is required to fill the StructSize field of the structure.
  4. FAR вызывает функцию GetPluginInfo достаточно часто, поэтому при проектировании плагина необходимо минимизировать "расчеты", производимые в этой функции.

Example

void WINAPI _export GetPluginInfo(struct PluginInfo *Info)
{
  Info->StructSize=sizeof(struct PluginInfo);
  Info->Flags=PF_EDITOR|PF_DISABLEPANELS;

  static char *PluginMenuStrings[1];
  PluginMenuStrings[0]=GetMsg(MBrackets);

  Info->PluginMenuStrings=PluginMenuStrings;
  Info->PluginMenuStringsNumber=sizeof(PluginMenuStrings)/
             sizeof(PluginMenuStrings[0]);
}
