--------- Hello. I have made a commandplugin, and I would like to call a function (not neccesarily execute()) in my plugin from another plugin. I read in a thread in this forum that I could do this using pluginmessages, but I don't really understand how. I have made my other plugin send a GePluginMessage that is recieved by the first plugin, but I don't understand where to go from there since I don't have access to an instance of my commandplugin from pluginmessage(). Any suggestions? regards /Filip

I have solved this using
BasePlugin* pl = FindPlugin(ID_OF_MYCOMMANDPLUGIN); MyCommandPlugin* m=static_cast<MyCommandPlugin*>(pl->GetPluginStructure()); m->MyFunction();
Does anybody know a more elegant way? regards Filip

You could pass the this pointer of the plugin and cast it within the PluginMessage function.
from somewhere in your plugin
GePluginMessage(MY_MESSAGE, this);
and within PluginMessage of your other plugin
case MY_MESSAGE: ((MyPlugin* )data)->DoSomething();
cheers, Matthias
