[abbat_iak]

Hi! I'm very new to plug-in developing (I mean I never did any)..
PLZ somebody, post a little walk-through or tutorial(or a link for a tutorial)
and post source code of any simple plug-in.....

There really aren't much to know if you are going to da a general plug-in.
You have to download the PDK from the devzone.
If you want to look at a simple plug-in the sourse for my Q.BLog plug-in is available: (Download supportfile)

Have you programmed using the Windows API before? It's a prerequisite for making any plugins.

[abbat_iak]

no
i program in c# and in delphi, but i'm a novice

Take a look here:

Look at the Password Protect plugin which was written in Delphi. It includes the source code.

Other than that, not much I can do for you, since you don't program in C/C++.

I've always wanted a sort of simple now playing plugin that would just paste the now playing track info into any active text-box... it would be usefull for forums, gbooks, blogs, etc.....
