Hydra 6.5.0.1295 and TActionList

Hydra

Hi,

I’m testing to convert an application written in Delphi 7 to Delphi 11.x. Managing unpackaged plugins works great! I am trying the use of Actions in plugins and I see that they are handled correctly except the execution of the OnUpdate event. Only when I press the button with the associated action the OnUpdate event is invoked.

In the form plugin the property PluginActions is correctly setted

Is this correct behavior?

Hi,

this is solved very simple:
set VCL framework for plugin. for this open VisualModule.dproj in any text editor (e.g. Notepad) and change

<FrameworkType>None</FrameworkType>

to

<FrameworkType>VCL</FrameworkType>

after this, you can set action in IDE

Hi Evgenyk

any news for this problem:

Hi,

You are using mode without runtime packages so Hydra/VCL interfaces don’t work as expected because objects in host and plugin are incompatible so you should trigger OnUpdate manually via custom interface like

  IActionUpdate = interface
  ['{71217C01-CA4B-468F-9C79-4DA5140DC9E7}']
    procedure UpdateActions;
  end;

Pls check sample for more details:
