Flare's API for plugins

Post by sdcinvan »

I am interested in exploring Flare's plug-in potential.

Has there been any significant work done with Flare's API for plug-ins?

Is there any other information available, besides this page: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare ... in_API.htm

Thanks

As that page says:
For details on creating DLLs for integration with Flare, see http://www.madcapsoftware.com/downloads ... ables.aspx.
Where you'll find zips of the API documentation.

Thanks Dave but I already have this zip file (for v11). I was just wondering if anyone else in this forum has worked with and/or knows of someone who has discussed working with the Flare API.

My initial reaction is that the Flare API is largely ignored.

Hi there,

I found the following article useful when I first experimented with the Flare API a couple of releases ago. This also includes an example project that you can tweak and play with:
