# CLaunch Plugin Development Kit

## Overview

This is a development kit for creating plugins that extend the functionality of the program launcher **CLaunch**.  
The plugin system allows developers to add custom actions, UI behavior, and other features to CLaunch through a Win32 DLL-based interface.
Documentation for plugin development is provided in the included **CLaunch Plugin Development Guide**.

## Development Environment

The sample project included in the **PluginTemplate** folder is created for **Microsoft Visual Studio 2026**.  
Visual Studio 2026 can coexist with earlier versions on the same machine, so installing it will not affect your existing development environments.  
For non-commercial use, the **Visual Studio Community Edition** can be used free of charge.

## How to Build and Use the Plugin

1. Open the provided solution file **CLaunchPlugin.sln** with Visual Studio.
2. Build the project in **Win32** or **x64** mode.
3. Copy the generated plugin DLL into the Plugins folder:   **CLaunch\Plugins**
4. Start CLaunch and enable the plugin in:   **Options** -> **Plugins**

## Debugging Your Plugin

1. After building the plugin, copy **CLaunch.exe** and **ClHook.dll** into the output **Debug** folder of your plugin project.
2. In the project debug settings, configure Visual Studio to start **CLaunch.exe** when debugging.
3. For convenient debugging, set the following command-line parameters:   **/n /l**  
This launches CLaunch in **non-resident mode**, making repeated cycles of code changes and testing easier.
