4D Plugin API


version 2003


The routines described in this theme do basically the same things as the corresponding 4D Commands. The plug-in developer can refer to the 4D documentation to get information on sets (size in memory, order).

The developer should note that:

1/ The API works exactly like 4D for set names. The developer can create process, interprocess or local sets, depending of the prefix of the name of the set: "$" for local sets, nothing for process sets, and "<>" under Windows/MacOS - diamond character under MacOS - for interprocess sets.

2/ The strings used for set names are C or Pascal strings, depending of previous calls to PA_UsePStrings or PA_UseCStrings .
