Referencing the AddInModule

Hi,

Sorry if I don't quite use the right jargon in this one, but I've got a form added to my addin that I would like to use one of the controls on the Addin Module, but I'm having some trouble referencing it.

For example a normal Application would have a variable declared for the form.. say fMain: TfMain, yet no matter the name of the AddInModule, you never get an AddinModule: TAddInModule as a reference (its been explained to me that while its possible to do this, it won't work when using the addin)

Is there a way to reference back to a component on the AddinModule or do I have to somehow modify the ADX class?

Thanks

Hi David,

If I understand you right, it is possible. See the piece of code below. 


interface

type
  TAddInModule = class(TadxCOMAddInModule)
    procedure adxCOMAddInModuleAddInInitialize(Sender: TObject);
    procedure adxCOMAddInModuleAddInFinalize(Sender: TObject);
  private
  protected
  public
  end;
[B]
var
  adxModule: TAddInModule;[/B]

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TAddInModule.adxCOMAddInModuleAddInInitialize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  [B]adxModule := Self;[/B]
  // TODO
end;

procedure TAddInModule.adxCOMAddInModuleAddInFinalize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // TODO
  [B]adxModule := nil;[/B]
end;


If I missed anything, please let me know.
