Hi everyone (sorry about the stupid title :-)) I'm writing a BitTorrent client which uses GObjects to expose a simple and wrappable interface. I'd also like to allow plugins to hook into events and add functionality. However, I'm not sure what's the best way to do this. So far I've come up with three ways: the first is to let plugins have a init() function which just hooks up its own callbacks with g_signal_connect, and the objects would then have to emit signals. Another way would be to have plugins expose functions that I then call from the appropriate places (no signals, and since I don't completely understand them, it would be easier). The third (how I think GEdit does it) is to let plugins implement their own GObjects, which are then used in some way I don't quite understand.
I've never written a plugin system, and don't have much experience with writing GObjects with signals (I've done simple subclassing and such). Could anyone point me to docs about or explain how to write a plugin system such as this? Which way would be easiest/fastest or are there any other options? Sorry for the mass of questions, I just want to learn more about this. Thanks alot for any tips :-) Samuel Cormier-Iijima _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
