THYFireMonkeyModule

Overview

The THYFireMonkeyModule class is a class that represents a FireMonkey plugin module loaded by the Hydra. This class is used internally by the Hydra framework to load and initialize FireMonkey plugins.

Note: There is no need to use this class to load plugin module, instead, you need to use the LoadModule or one of the Load* methods of the THYModuleManager.

Use Case

You won't usualy use this class directly, instead you can use THYModule to gain access to information on a loaded module. For example:

procedure TMainForm.ListLoadedPlugins;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  PluginListBox.Items.BeginUpdate;
  try
    PluginListBox.Clear;

    for I := 0 to HYModuleManager1.ModuleCount - 1 do
      PluginListBox.Items.Add(HYModuleManager1.Modules[i].FileName);
  finally
    PluginListBox.Items.EndUpdate;
  end;
end;
