hi All,
I want to write a Plugin for Exodus Client using C#. For testing purpose, I wrote main class which implements IExodusPlugin interface that will add a Menu Item if the user clicks on a Roster name.
The following is the structure of the Main Class ::
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace ExodusPluginTesting
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
[ Guid("E10C6CDE-8D8B-46c2-AE85-0185039E9958") ]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
public class ExodusPluginTesting : Exodus.IExodusPlugin
{
public string ID = "";
Exodus.ExodusController exodusController;
public void Startup(Exodus.ExodusController exController)
{
string s = "This is my Plugin";
exodusController =
(Exodus.ExodusController) exController;
ID = exodusController.addContactMenu(s);
}
public void Shutdown()
{
exodusController.removeContactMenu(ID);
exodusController = null;
}
public void Process(string xpath, string eventRaised, string xmlObject)
{
}
public void NewChat(string jID, Exodus.ExodusChat exodusChat)
{
}
public void NewRoom(string jID, Exodus.ExodusChat Room)
{
}
public string NewIM(string jID, ref string body, ref string subject, string xTags)
{
string k = " " ;
return (k);
}
public void Configure()
{
}
public void MenuClick(string ID)
{
}
public void MsgMenuClick(string ID,string jID, ref string body,ref string subject)
{
}
public void NewOutgoingIM(string jID, Exodus.ExodusChat instantMSG)
{
}
}
}
I converted "Exodus.tlb" to "Exodus.dll" using "tlbImp.exe" tool. And I included this 'Exodus.dll' in my code to import the "IExodusPlugin" interface structure into the Main Class (ExodusPluginTesting()).
I built the solution (with Component Registry). THE OUTPUT files I got is "ExodusPluginTesting.dll" and "ExodusPluginTesting.tlb".
Then I placed the 'ExodusPluginTesting.dll' file in "C:\Program Files\Exodus\Plugins" directory. I started Exodus client. But I didn't view the PLUGIN in the LIST. I tried several builds and placed it in PLUGINS directory, still, I didn't find it in the list.
Is my Interface implementation correct or shall I need to declare the interface structure also (without using Exodus.dll).
Can anybody help me in this aspect what procedure to follow to create .DLL Plugin for EXODUS.
Thanks,
Durga Prsad T
