DataPlugin SDK Quickstart

Ah this was my fault ^^

i only renamed the file to myplugin.

Now it works thanks

But how can i now make a config panel for my plugin?

Sorry for double post

But i thought you already read my post.

Now how can i make a config panel in VB.Net for my Plugin.
I'm not able to convert your C example plugin to VB.Net because i can't program in C

Thanks

Did you actually read this whole thread before posting in it? for instance this post and the ones following it..

I know added the things the user as posted

And know i get following errors in VB IDE:

EDIT: Now i tried some things and i was able to solve some errors
But now there are new Errors

Add references to System.Windows.Forms.dll but really this is basic programming i'm willing to help you get your data in Studio but basic programming you are on your own.

Yeah I'm just starting to program in VB.Net
Before i only programmed basics in VB6

I now solved the main errors on my selve.

Now only a few errors are still there.

Only declaration errors

Error 1 the name “ControlStyles” was not defined. \ \ Fsdeg001 \ user10$ \ v90324 \ Visual Studio 2005 \ Projects \ LCDStudio \ LCDStudio \ UserControll.vb 6 21 LCDStudio

Again get some experiance with vb.net before attempting lcdstudio plugins, i really don't have the time to hold your hand on basic stuff.

Only one error left.

When i comment out that line
Than the plugin loads but i can't open the Settings menu in LCDStudio

Error 2 the name “Color” was not defined. \ \ Fsdeg001 \ user10$ \ v90324 \ Visual Studio 2005 \ Projects \ LCDStudio \ LCDStudio \ UserControll.vb 7 24 LCDStudio

Why don't you look up the Color class in the manual/msdn and see in what dll it is defined? Very Happy

I got a bit further now.

I found the DLL.
And now i don't have any errors in VB IDE

But when I load this plugin i can't open the settings anymore.
And when i comment out that line the plugin loads but theres no tab.

at the moment i really don't know where the problem is

I now translated your example to VB.Net using this converter:
http://codeconverter.sharpdevelop.net/Convert.aspx

I repaired some errors and than i was able to compile.

But now when i want to load my plugin the messagebox gets gray.
I don't think that it is a problem with the *.plugin file

I uploaded my project here

http://filebeam.com/e25079e1a5cd866afdca6e1e2d97927e

I now compiled your example and it works.

But why not in VB????

I changed nothing i only used the converted code.

Is there a debugging option in LCDStudio?

While LcdStudio is running, load your project in VS2005 and "Attach Process" to LcdStudio.exe Wink

This works?

I will try it.

But now i have the working example from joshua_70448.
