# Interface definition
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
class PowertoyModuleIface {
|
|
public:
|
|
virtual const wchar_t* get_name() = 0;
|
|
virtual const wchar_t** get_events() = 0;
|
|
virtual bool get_config(wchar_t* buffer, int *buffer_size) = 0;
|
|
virtual void set_config(const wchar_t* config) = 0;
|
|
virtual void call_custom_action(const wchar_t* action) {};
|
|
virtual void enable() = 0;
|
|
virtual void disable() = 0;
|
|
virtual bool is_enabled() = 0;
|
|
virtual void destroy() = 0;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
typedef PowertoyModuleIface* (__cdecl *powertoy_create_func)();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Runtime logic
|
|
|
|
The PowerToys runner will, for each PowerToy DLL:
|
|
- load the DLL,
|
|
- call [`powertoy_create()`](#powertoy_create_func) to create the PowerToy.
|
|
|
|
On the received object, the runner will call:
|
|
- [`get_name()`](#get_name) to get the name of the PowerToy,
|
|
- [`enable()`](#enable) to initialize the PowerToy.
|
|
|
|
While running, the runner might call the following methods between create_powertoy()
|
|
and destroy():
|
|
- [`disable()`](#disable)/[`enable()`](#enable)/[`is_enabled()`](#is_enabled) to change or get the PowerToy's enabled state,
|
|
- [`get_config()`](#get_config) to get the available configuration settings,
|
|
- [`set_config()`](#set_config) to set settings after they have been edited in the Settings editor,
|
|
- [`call_custom_action()`](#call_custom_action) when the user selects a custom action in the Settings editor,
|
|
|
|
When terminating, the runner will:
|
|
- call [`disable()`](#disable),
|
|
- call [`destroy()`](#destroy) which should free all the memory and delete the PowerToy object,
|
|
- unload the DLL.
|
|

# Method definition
|
|
|
|
This section contains a more detailed description of each of the interface methods.
|
|
|
|
## powertoy_create_func
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
typedef PowertoyModuleIface* (__cdecl *powertoy_create_func)()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Typedef of the factory function that creates the PowerToy object.
|
|
Must be exported by the DLL as `powertoy_create()`.
|
|
|
|
Called by the PowerToys runner to initialize each PowerToy.
|
|
It will be called only once before a call to [`destroy()`](#destroy) is made.
|
|
|
|
The returned PowerToy should be in the disabled state. The runner will call the [`enable()`](#enable) method to start the PowerToy.
|
|
|
|
In case of errors returns `nullptr`.
|
|
|
|
## get_name
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual const wchar_t* get_name()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns the name of the PowerToy, it will be cached by the runner.
|
|
|
|
## get_config
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
virtual bool get_config(wchar_t* buffer, int *buffer_size)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fills a buffer with the available configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
If `buffer` is a null pointer or the buffer size is not large enough sets the required buffer size in 'buffer_size' and return false.
|
|
|
|
Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
## set_config
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual void set_config(const wchar_t* config)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After the user has changed the module settings in the Settings editor, the runner calls this method to pass to the module the updated values. It's a good place to save the settings as well.
|
|
|
|
## call_custom_action
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual void call_custom_action(const wchar_t* action)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Calls a custom action in response to the user pressing the custom action button in the Settings editor.
|
|
This can be used to spawn custom editors defined by the PowerToy.
|
|
|
|
## enable
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual void enable()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enables the PowerToy.
|
|
|
|
## disable
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual void disable()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Disables the PowerToy, should free as much memory as possible.
|
|
|
|
## is_enabled
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual bool is_enabled() = 0;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns the PowerToy state.
|
|
|
|
## destroy
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
virtual void destroy()
|
|
```
|
|
Destroy the PowerToy and free all memory.
|
