I am developing a plug-in based application and need to be able to post data (strings, arrays) back to my main EXE when something happens. I’m not quite sure how to go about this, I have thought about creating a thread in the main application that would continuously call a method in the DLL asking for data but this seems very inefficient, is there some sort of event listener I could use for this?
Thanks.
As part of the loading mechanism for the plug-in DLLs, you could pass in a class object / function pointer / delegate / event that the DLL can use to inform the main application of any events the plug-in generates.
