Title: What's the difference among the various plugin types?
Post by: bruce on April 04, 2012, 02:07:00 pm
When we try to create a plugin project. The wizard tells us that we can choose a plugin type among tool, generic, MIME handler and wizard. Then what's the difference among them, or where can I get the corresponding sdk documentation? I searched the user manual, I can't find relative information.

Most information you'll find in the C::B WiKi and the SDK docu, available here:

(Scroll to "codeblocks-doc" -> "SDK documentation (SVN)".)

OK, Thanks, I found some useful information in cbplugin.h.

this information is readable in the CHM... ;-)

BTW: Don't forget the WiKi:

...and surely other plugins are a good resource, too.
