TMS VCL Plugin Framework is designed to make building extensible Delphi applications significantly easier by enabling developers to break large systems into modular, dynamically loadable plugin packages. It allows distributing plugins independently, extending applications without recompiling the main executable, and integrating new menus, forms, layouts, and UI components on demand. With debugging support, a visual plugin designer, and a flexible “services”-based architecture similar to the Delphi IDE, the framework removes the complexity traditionally associated with plugin-driven application architecture.

Features

• Allows breaking large applications into multiple dynamically loadable packages.
• Reduces filesize for sending updates by sending only plugin updates.
• Allows distributing custom plugins for specific customer needs.
• Allows extending applications without recompilation of the main module.
• Allows adding new menus, forms, layouts, etc… through plugins in your application.
• Visual plugin designer
• Includes a plugin manager that allows a flexible and easy way to handle plugins to load.
• The TMS Plugin Framework has the same concept as the Delphi IDE that allows you to incorporate new functionalities to the environment based on 'Services'.
• The TMS Plugin Framework takes the complexity out of building package technology based plugins
• Debugging capabilities (breakpoint, step into, run to cursor, pause, halt …)
