PB(PBox)

PB(PBox) is a modular development platform based on DLL Window

I. Development purpose

pascal
Based on the principle of minimizing or not modifying the original project source code(Delphi??????VC??????QT);
Support Delphi DLL Form??????VC DLL Window(Dialog/MFC)??????QT DLL Window;

II. Development platform

pascal
Delphi11.3??????WIN10X64;
WIN10X64 test pass;Support X86??????X64;
Email??????dbyoung@sina.com;
QQgrp??????101611228;

III.Usage

Delphi��

  • Delphi original exe project, modified to DLL project. Output export function, the original code without any modification;
  • Put the compiled DLL file in the plugins directory;
  • Example: modules\CurlUI;
  • Example: modules\sPath;
  • Example: modules\pm;
  • Delphi function declaration:
pascal
 procedure db_ShowDllForm_Plugins(var frm: TFormClass; var strParentModuleName, strSubModuleName: PAnsiChar); stdcall;

VC2022

  • Convert VC window exe to DLL for calling by other languages: [https://blog.csdn.net/dbyoung/article/details/103987103]
  • VC original EXE(base on Dialog) project��without any modifitication��new a dll.cpp file��output export function;
  • VC original EXE(base on MFC) project��need a little modify code;
  • Put the compiled DLL file in the plugins directory;
  • Example(base on Dialog)��modules\7-zip
  • Example(base on Dialog)��modules\Notepad2;
  • Example(base on MFC)��modules\mpc-be;
  • VC2022 function declaration:
pascal
enum TLangStyle {lsDelphiDll, lsVCDLGDll, lsVCMFCDll, lsQTDll, lsEXE};
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void db_ShowDllForm_Plugins(TLangStyle* lsFileType, char** strParentName, char** strSubModuleName, char** strClassName, char** strWindowName, const bool show = false)

QT

  • QT original EXE��without any modifitication��Compile to exe;
  • New a dll.cpp file��output export function; together compile to dll;
  • Put the compiled DLL file in the plugins directory;
  • Same as VC Dialog DLL;
  • Example��modules\cmake-gui;
  • Example��modules\qBittorrent��
  • function declaration:
pascal
enum TLangStyle {lsDelphiDll, lsVCDLGDll, lsVCMFCDll, lsQTDll, lsEXE};
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void db_ShowDllForm_Plugins(TLangStyle* lsFileType, char** strParentName, char** strSubModuleName, char** strClassName, char** strWindowName, const bool show = false)

IV: Description of DLL output function parameters

  • Delphi ��
pascal
 procedure db_ShowDllForm_Plugins(var frm: TFormClass; var strParentModuleName, strSubModuleName: PAnsiChar); stdcall;

 frm                 ??????DLL main window class name in Delphi;
 strParentModuleName ??????Parent module name;  
 strSubModuleName    ??????Sub module name;
  • VC2022/QT ��
pascal
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void db_ShowDllForm_Plugins(TLangStyle* lsFileType, char** strParentName, char** strSubModuleName, char** strClassName, char** strWindowName, const bool show = false)

 lsFileType        ??????Base on Dialog DLL??????or base MFC DLL or QT DLL;
 strParentName     ??????Parent module name;  
 strSubModuleName  ??????Sub module name; 
 strClassName      ??????DLL Main window class name;
 strWindowName     ??????DLL Main window title name;
 show              ??????show/hide DLL main window;

V. Features

pascal
The UI supports menu display, button (dialog box) display and list view display;  
Supports the display of an EXE window program in our window; 
Support the EXE program of dynamic change of window class name;support multiple document windows;
Support file drag and drop to exe and DLL window; 
Support x86 EXE call x64 EXE, x64 EXE call x86 EXE;

VI. Known bugs:

pascal
1. File drag and drop can only be dragged and dropped to the main window, not directly to the sub module DLL window; This is a problem caused by permissions (resource manager is normal permissions and pbox is administrator permissions);

VII. Next work:

pascal
Add database support (because I am not familiar with the database, the development is slow, and it is developed in my spare time)

VIII. Notice:

pascal
1. If you run the JavaCV??????dbVideo module under PBox (x64), you need to unzip "Win64\plugins\SDK\OpenCV\4.6.0\bin\CUDA.7z" to current directory;
2. OpenCV(x64) is building on CUDA SDK. if your pc not NVIDIA Video Card, you can't run JavaCV��dbVideo x64 module;
3. because init Java VM, Delphi IDE raise: c0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION. you can "Ignore this exception type", next time is not tips;
