library TBXSampleTask;

// Simple Task Plugin for UltraExplorer.
//   - Uses the TUltraExplorerTaskForm class defined in FormUltaExplorerTask.pas
//   - Uses TBX or SpTBX for themeing and Unicode support
//        NOTE - You must use SpTBX 1.8.2 or greater
//   - Uses FastShareMem.pas to support sharing memory allocations across process boundries
//   - Sets the Application, Screen, and HintWindowClass to that of the EXE application
//   - The DLL MUST export the following two function to have UE load it..
//         CreatePluginServer,
//         SetVCLVariables;
//   - Supports only one Plugin from the DLL.  See the UltraExplorerCommon folder
//     for the common standard UltraExplorer plugins to see how to support
//     multiple plugins in a single DLL.
//   - PERFORMANCE:  For performance reasons loading DLLs is slow so if possible put as many
//       plugins into a single DLL as possible.
//
// Notes on Creating Forms in a DLL
//   - Creating the Form in the DLL then using a parent from a control in the
//     main app fails because if the Form from the DLL is recreated from an event
//     in the app the DFM resources are linked into the DLL and not the app.  This
//     causes the form to not have any designtime objects when it is recreated (can't
//     find the resources..)
//   - The DLL the can take the TApplication and TScreen from the app, save the ones
//     created in the DLL and cause the DLL to use the applications objects instead.
//     On releasing the DLL the objects are set back to the original saved versions.
//     This still does not fix any Tab or Arrow Dialog Key message issues but it does
//     at least track the Form with the screen and such.  It may help some issues.
//
//  - Hints: These will just plain fail.  In the VCL this is used to find the control
//    to show the hint on:

//       function FindControl(Handle: HWnd): TWinControl;
//       var
//         OwningProcess: DWORD;
//       begin
//         Result := nil;
//         if (Handle <> 0) and (GetWindowThreadProcessID(Handle, OwningProcess) <> 0) and
//            (OwningProcess = GetCurrentProcessId) then
//          ....
//       end;
//
//   The control is never found becase the window handle is created in the DLL's
//   process.
