Hello,

I'm interested in making my own plugin for AC Tools. Anyone got pointers on where I can read about this?

I'm after something really simple, I want a plugin that returns the result of the time() function from C's stdlib. And maybe in the future, I'd like to add some more time manipulation functions.

Shiva, I believe that AcTool's companion uses the shared (MMC?) memory space. I can't remember if that's the name or not, but you will need to know how to convert data types into the delphi format from C....I cannot help you with that because I simply don't remember - Ipa wrote a response for something like this a while ago..so it might be on the forums somewhere if you search around.

Likely even more so, in this one.

AcTool does have FormatDateTime command -- it works very well from my experience.

Edit:
Now that I think about it, DrewIt has a couple of posts on how to work with AcTool if memory serves me. He's successfully worked with AcTool using an outside program.

Here's 1 of the realted threads, along with source code:
