Trillian Pro Plug-in Framework for Delphi

This page is for Trillian users who wish to make plug-ins, if you don't know what Trillian is please go to the Trillian website.

Here is my Delphi 6 SDK and OOP Framework, it allows you to make plug-ins for Trillian Pro with a minimum of fuss using Delphi. :)

All the functions of the version 2.0 SDK have been added.

If you are using this framework to make your own plug-ins please be sure to UPDATE it from this post as often as possible, many bugs are fixed and new features are often added. I try to make the changes so that you wont have to change your Plug in code, but that's not always possible.

History & Info

25/10/2002

  • Added many little new functions to TPlugin for finding paths
  • Added dynamic contact list entry changes to the sample plug-in. minor changes to list entry functionality
  • Right click on group list entries to add or remove entries dynamically in sample

06/10/2002

  • All code checks for nil's in lists
  • Fixed ICON code, where the icon would free its icon data b4 the list entry was freed... Causing GPF... Thanks Razzle for forcing me to find this one. PS: If you call any of the update functions for the list entries and the number of left or right icons have changed please reregister the list entries first.
  • Added custom ADD methods to all lists, so that type applicable to lists are obvious.

05/10/2002

  • Fixed initialization problem, another GPF
  • Hopefully no more GPFs or slowdowns??

21/09/2002

  • Many bug fixes - no more GPFs (as far as i can tell)
  • Added TContactList and integrated into TPlugin for easy access to the contact list
  • Added MessageSendByName to TPlugin which allows you to send a message by the users name (as per TAliasAlert return), scans the ContactList to find a match and then sends by UIN
  • Be careful not to use MessageSend, specifying an invalid UIN, this causes a GPF.

20/09/2002

  • Added TPrefForm with sample
  • Allows you to use a TForm object as a preference dialog
  • Only lightly tested, use at own risk
  • Crash is fixed as far as i can tell
  • Changed sample TMySystrayAliasAlert.OnDestroy - fixed GPF Added extra safeguards against lost object method calls

19/09/2002

  • Fixed enumeration objects - they now work (included in sample)
  • Fixed TPlugin freeing problem - object now frees without errors
  • Fixed Systray ondestroy
  • Started adding properties and cleaning objects up
  • Added List manipulation routines
  • Added list callback functions
  • Miscellaeneous bug fixes

Known Problems (To Be Addressed):

  • Footprint of DLL is large due to TPlugin uses all objects regardless weather they are used or not
  • Create constructors currently use all parameters, more constructors will be done to make it easier
  • Menu items must be created for each ListEntry
