Hi, I’m using a plugin dll for windows to speed up certain things in my applications. If the plugin have been loaded once into Xojo, Xojo doesn’t detect function interface changes, from changed Dll files during startup. This results in a function item not exist error during debug or compile even though the function is visible from the module object. For Xojo versions older than 2023 this behavior can be worked around by removing the plugin from the plugin folder and restart the Xojo twice. Replacing the plugin files before the second restart will force Xojo to load the new definitions for old xojo versions. Unfortunately, does this work around no longer work for newer versions starting with 2023 of Xojo. The only way I have found for newer xojo releases is to install a clean xojo on a clean OS and copy the plugin into the plugin folder. This proves that it isn’t any error in the pluging.
My question is, if there are anyone knowing what I need to do to make the xojo2024 to reload the dll definitions when the dll is changed. It must be an easy way to change the plugin dll during development of the plugin and test it in the xojo IDE.
I’m using Visual studio 2019 for my plugin development.
Thanks for any information concerning this.
