Making Plugins

[victorsk]

Hello,

Is there a way to write a plugin for a Windows program in VB? I need to
make it so when a program starts, it starts with custom-made functionalities .
I already have a way to export functions to make a DLL but I need to find a
way so that the parent program calls these functions when it starts. Any
suggestions?

Thank you,
Victor.

If the main application is written in .NET and you have the source code, you
may want to take a look at the samples below:

LiveCode.NET
<URL:http://www.codeproject .com/csharp/livecodedotnet. asp>

PlugIns
