FireMonkeyPluginDescriptor

Overview

The FireMonkeyPluginDescriptor class represents a plugin descriptor of a loaded FireMonkey plugin. This class provides access to a plugin metadata such as description or version number. Usualy you will deal with the base PluginDescriptor class instead of accessing FireMonkeyPluginDescriptor directly.

Use Case

Most common case is to use plugin descriptors to get data about plugins, for example:

  moduleManager.LoadModule("MyPlugin.dll");
            
  // list all plugins 
  foreach (PluginDescriptor p in moduleManager.Plugins)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Plugin: {0} Description: {1}", p.Name, p.Description));
  }
