Text of the page (random words):
repetier host plugin repetier host plugin guide introduction also we try to include as many functions as seem reasonable for such a host system there are always cases where you want special modifications maybe because you have a printer with some special functions or you want extra tools for your daily work to give you this flexibility the host comes from version 0 95 onwards with a simple to extend plugin system all you need to do is create a plugin and copy the plugin into the hosts plugin folder on the next start it will be included with a plugin you can do things like add menu entries add toolbar items send commands to printer watch printer response for special actions add new communication protocols add new slicers add new panels add your credits to the about dialog distribution if you are the author of a plugin you can do everything with it as you like you can sell it or offer it as download the only thing you can not do is make a new bundle with repetier host and your plugins what you can do is write a installer for your plugin that adds the plugin to an existing host installation if you want a customized host with your plugins please visit this website we put a lot of work into our software and there are bills to be paid that is our way to keep a free version for all our custom versions also include more individualization for your printer create a plugin a plugin is nothing else as a c library packed into a special directory structure first you need a name for your plugin for internal use choose a name without spaces the compiled library must create a dll that has the name of the plugin and that lies inside a directory with the same name in the hosts plugin directory inside that plugin you must have a class named like the plugin using a namespace named like the plugin implementing the interface repetierhostextender interfaces ihostplugin for this tutorial we create a plugin named demoplugin first we open visualstudio and create a library project with that name then we add the repetierhostextender dll to the project references disable adding a local copy of repetierhostextender dll you find this dll in the host installation directory then we rename the default class to demoplugin and set the namespace to demoplugin we add some stubs for the interface methods the code should now look like this using system using system collections generic using system linq using system text using system threading tasks using repetierhostextender interfaces namespace demoplugin public class demoplugin ihostplugin ihost host called first to allow filling some lists host is not fully set up at that moment public void preinitalize ihost _host host _host called after everything is initalized to finish parts that rely on other initializations here you must create and register new controls and windows public void postinitialize last round of plugin calls all controls exist so now you may modify them to your wishes public void finializeinitialize you see there are only three methods to implement each method is called for all plugins in that order preinitalize postinitialize finializeinitialize in preinitalize you get the reference to the host instance you need that for most operations so you better store that value for later use it is also the right place to register host components you can already to some initalization stuff that does not depend on other high level host functions the main initialization is done in postinitialize here all basic components of the host are registered and can be used if you want to remove menu entries tabs etc this should be done in finializeinitialize it should be reserved on actions that require parts which get created in the first 2 initalization rounds if you want to test your plugin you need to start the host so it is a good idea to set the destination folder to the hosts plgin demoplugin directory you can copy the complete host to a standard place or use the version in program files using the progam files version has one little drawback as it is protected by windows when you created the demoplugin directory change the ownership and grant your self full privileges or you will not be able to save the dll test if compilation works and you get the dll in the directory don t bother to start the host you will see nothing but we are gonna change that now first we want to create an additional tab for very specialized controls we create a usercontrol and add 3 buttons on it left right home that should not be very complicated but to get it in place and get a connection to the host we need to implement using repetierhostextender interfaces ihostcomponent together with the functions for the buttons we get the following code using system using system collections generic using system componentmodel using system drawing using system data using system linq using system text using system threading tasks using system windows forms using repetierhostextender interfaces namespace demoplugin public partial class coolcontrol usercontrol ihostcomponent private ihost host public coolcontrol initializecomponent store reference to host for later use host instance public void connect ihost _host host _host region ihostcomponent implementation name inside component repository public string componentname get return coolcontrol name for tab public string componentdescription get return cool control used for positioning public int componentorder get return 8000 where to add it we want it on the right tab public preferredcomponentpositions preferredposition get return preferredcomponentpositions sidebar return the usercontrol public control componentcontrol get return this associated threedview object to show in the 3d view return null for no assiciation public threedview associated3dview get return host printingview gets called when the component comes into view for tabs this means when the tab gets selected public void

connection connector isconnected host connection injectmanualcommand g28 endregion now that we have our tab ready to work we need to add it we do this in the postinitalize method all needed is a call to the host registerhostcomponent method with an instance of it we also want our attribution in the about dialog now the postinitalize method looks like this public void postinitialize add the coolcontrol to the right tab coolcontrol cool new coolcontrol cool connect host host registerhostcomponent cool add some text in the about dialog host aboutdialog registerthirdparty demoplugin r n r ndemoplugin written by repetier r nuse it like you want you can download the sources for this demo plugin here you might need to change the dll reference and target directory download demoplugin important hooks adding menu entries the ihost interface provides a getmenufolder method to retrieve all main folders the parameter determines the menu to return using registry you should save your data in the same registry tree like the host does use the ihost function getregistryfolder for this usage is then like this iregmemoryfolder reg getregistryfolder demoplugin double speed reg getdouble speed 100 reg setdouble speed newspeed check the repetierhostextender interfaces iregmemoryfolder reference for other types and window positions classes the plugin structure is fairly new so some interfaces may grow or change if required there are also many other classes and methods that may be useful for you we can not describe them all in detail but we gave them meaningful names so most of it should be self explanatory repetier host 2 0 plugin classes some delegates and enums not visible in class description namespace repetierhostextender interfaces public delegate void
