Hello, Stefan. You wrote 10.09.2003 @ 16:30 in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] using mailer The Bat! (v2.00.6) ST Dear All, ST Phew... Writing API documentation is definitely a hard task for me :-) Agree... :) ST OK, here it is - the first version of TB! CP API for your comments. ST Attention C++ programmers - C calls were merely converted but not ST tested, so please verify that all definitions are correct. ST I tried to make everything clear, but if there are some uncovered ST issues and concerns, please post them here. Some notes about the API: ,- [ from TBP_Setup description ] | The TBP_Setup can be called by The Bat! only if the TBP_ConfigNeeded returned | AVC_OK. The handle of the calling window can be retrieved by the GetActiveWindow | Win32 API function `- AVC_OK didn't defined! May be change to ...if the TBP_ConfitNeeded returned zero. ,- [ from TBP_SetConfigData description ] | C++: int WINAPI TBP_SetConfigData(void* ABuf, int ABufSize); | | Object Pascal: function TBP_SetConfigData (const ABuf; ABufSize: Integer): | Integer; stdcall; `- in Object Pascal description: first arg const ABuf sounds quite suspicious. May be var ABuf? Also, for C++ description it would be safer to define it as (const void* ABuf...) ST We are planning to make some additions to the API soon. Please post ST your suggestions about which plug-in slot should be implemented ST next. I have at least two suggestions about it: 1. It would be good to have a possibility from TBP_GetSpamScore to add a custom header into regarded letter, for example X-spam: ... or etc (or change the header, if it is already present in the letter). This will be useful to filter the messages later using regular The Bat! sorting office, and safe to the integrity of the letter RFC format. (Of course, it would be ideal if the filter would change anything in the message, but it isn't so safe). 2. About TBP_FeedSpam - it would be good, if The Bat! will call this function itself according to Move to junk folder threshold, basing on integral grade of all filters installed. In this case this function will necessary to be called manually for wrongly graded letter, but not to every one received. And finally: do you agree if I translate the API into Russian? -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Plugin initialization failed
Hello all,
I wrote a dummy plugin with VC6, but I am getting Plugin initialization
errors thought I followed the instruction Stefan introduced earlier today.
See the attachment for further information.
I implemented only the two necessary functions TBP_GetName and
TBP_GetStatus to demonstrate how the interface works. I declared them as
follows:
// Header:
#define DllExport __declspec (dllexport)
DllExport int WINAPI TBP_GetName (char* ABuf, int ABufSize);
DllExport int WINAPI TBP_GetStatus ();
// Module:
DllExport int WINAPI TBP_GetName (char* ABuf, int ABufSize)
{
assert (ABufSize 0);
strncpy (ABuf, Foo, ABufSize);
return 3;
}
DllExport int WINAPI TBP_GetStatus ()
{
return TBP_SUCCESS;
}
What am I doing wrong ?
BR, Tero

Re: The Bat! Common Plug-in API v1.0
Stefan- I see a few template object indexes which have disappeared from the code stub you posted a while ago. I'm assuming these are gone for a reason, and not just an oversight. Their numeric values have not been subsumed by other indexes. In particular, tpxAttachVCard tpxSingleRe tpxCookieCount tpxRegExpText -- -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Plugin stub (API draft compliant)
Here's the revised edition of my plugin stub, hopefully conforming to the draft API document. Alexey - could you (or anyone else) please try this under Visual C++? I've got it working under the other two compilers and I *think* I've got the VC stuff formatted properly, but I don't have that compiler at hand. If that's working then this now compiles with Metrowerks Codewarrior, Borland C++ Builder, and Visual C++. -- -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 TBPluginStub.zip Description: Zip compressed data http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: Non-official TBP API - addition
Well, if you installs a plugin into your system, it could do all it wants because it's a program. While the plugin install needs be maded by the user and you know which plugin are you installing it will be ok. lunes, 8 sep 2003 at 18:09, you wrote: I'm not a programmer, or rather, a very poor one. Just a pleading from a Network Systems Administrator dealing with MS patches on nearly a daily basis, please, please, please whatever code is placed into the Plugins (or securing the API itself), look at code security with regards to buffer overflows etc. I love TB because it's secure (among many other reasons), I'd hate to see a plugin compromise that security. --- /\/ / \ / \ / /\/ e t \/ i c i o u s [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
