Creating a form in the plugin failed
21 Jul 2024, 04:41
Hi everybody
I'm building the code that opens the form for the countdown timer in the plugin.
But there is an error in the following code
please help
public partial class frmCandleCountdown : Form
{
private const string resourcePath = @"C:\Users\theha\OneDrive\Documents\cAlgo\";
myCandleCountDown caller;
bool alwaysOnTop = true;
public frmCandleCountdown(myCandleCountDown _caller, bool _alwaysOnTop)
{
alwaysOnTop = _alwaysOnTop;
caller = _caller;
InitializeComponent();
}
public void UpdateCounter(string _text)
{
lblCounter.Text = _text;
}
private void frmCandleCountdown_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
caller.Stop();
}
private void frmCandleCountdown_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Icon = new Icon(resourcePath+"Countdown.ico");
this.TopMost = alwaysOnTop;
}
}

How can I convert this cbot into a plugin?
thanks!
Hi there,
There is no specific conversion process. You need to write a plug in from scratch with the same functionality.
