Hello!
I am a relatively new user to Flex UI designing! Few days back, I thought of giving my PS plugins a Flex UI look! I searched the internet on some tutorials or guides, but there is very little information pertaining to that. The CS Extension Builder guide says that we can interact between Flex UI & a native application with the help of C++ PlugPlug library. There is a sample code in Illustrator SDK for the same by the name of FreeGrid (C++) & FreeGridUI(Flex UI) . But I couldn't find an equivalent in PS.
On searching some more in this regard, I found that we can use the PlugPlug.h (& .cpp) with some changes into our C++ PS plugin code. I am stuck at this stage now. How do I go about from here??
Guide me people..!!
Thanks!
That would be the " all the adjustments you would need to do to make them work in the Photoshop context" part of my post! 🙂

In theory taking the PlugPlug*.* files from the Illustrator SDK and using them in a Photoshop plug-in should work. I have yet to try this experiment and am not sure of all the adjustments you would need to do to make them work in the Photoshop context however. I would also assume that this would only work with CS5 and later of Photoshop.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply..
I have been waiting eagerly for any reply to this post!
You said that PlugPlug.* files should work in PS plugins too. But these PlugPlug.* files also have some Illustrator header files included in them. What should be done in that aspect?
And, is there no alternate method of capturing the events of a Flex UI in C++ plugin code???
Thanks!

Hi compudraftx, I was successful in communicating using the PlugPlug part. What do you want to know?

Hello poortip87,
i am trying to do the adjustments for PS but I am having the same problem mentioned here: Is the PlugPlugOwl.dll in PS CC equivalent to the PlugPlug.dll from PS CS6?
How have you been able to communicate using the PS PlugPlugOwl.dll?
Thank you for an answere,

Photoshop SDK code were mostly written more than 10 years ago. At that time, FLEX, FLASH even did not come to this world yet.
