Form/Application Store
#1
Hi Everyone! <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Very Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin -->
I just wanted to ask if I could get some Help.
Im trying to make a Kind of OS thing in VB2010 and I want to add a type of App Store. All I need to know is, how do I update or add Forms from the Internet?

EX: See something like Microsoft Word, click to Download.
How do I get it to actually add the Form/Folder of the Microsoft Word App into the users Project?

It might be a bit complicated to understand, but for me, its the easiest, im not very good at explaining. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Hey PsychicShadow!
First of all, welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay!
I'm pretty sure that in order to do this you need to update the whole project. But then you run into the problem where you can't have multiple apps installed at once due to the fact that you are writing over the project...

I've tried to do something very similar to this in the past with plugins, but I couldn't seem to get it working. So I don't really know how to approach this.

What you can do, is make a .dll control for each program, and have the application make a form programmatically for each .dll in its directory, if you know what I'm saying.

Yes as Brandon said make the "Plugins" as .dll files

Make the program to load in all the .dll files and somehow try and get it to open the plugins

If i get time i will try and have a look into it
