Tropic Designs Plug-ins

#1 · February 20, 2024, 1:09 am

So far I've purchased two plug-ins from Tropic Designs (Darbdenral on this forum). They were definitely worth the money.

I cannot speak highly enough of the customer service of Brad, the developer. He went out of his way to help me with a specific project using his versatile ezPipes plug-in.

Thank you, Brad!

Same here... In fact, I downloaded a few free plugs today and made a paypal donation... They are that good.

Also his ezEdge plugin for NeoWin makes desktop to browser communications a breeze.

Great stuff...

Una pregunta con el plugin la comunicación puede ser en ambas direcciones de neo win a otro idioma y del idioma a neo win

A question with the plugin the communication can be in both directions from neo win to another language and from the language to neo win

HI @carlos-saldana,

I'll try and answer your question with a little more information because the answer is not as simple as yes or no and may change in the near future.

ezPipes was built so VisualNeoWin built apps could communicate together on one computer or on multiple computers using your local area network. You have one server and a client or multiple clients. Multiple clients can run on the same computer or multiple computers. The ezPipes plugin uses a pipe, which is a section of shared memory that processes can use for really fast communication. I developed a special packet design to allow only pipe communication from other ezPipes designed projects.

The pipe allows communication in each direction. A server can send messages to individual clients or broadcast a message to all clients. Clients can only receive messages from the server and send messages to the server. It's up to the server programmer to process those messages in any way desired. So the server could theoretically relay any client message to any connected client or broadcast it to every connected client.

The Win Terminal program was designed to be client only, to send messages from any program that can send a message by string or by text file. It operates as a console app, not GUI and does not require running in the background, just call it up and it will log on, send the message and logoff. The server doesn't care what programming language you used to create your client with as long as the message is formatted correctly.

The Php and Python apps were designed to operate the same way, they currently send a string and log off. If you are a Php or Python programmer, you can change the projects as you wish. Depending on your skills, you could make simple or complex changes. Like maybe the first ezPipes Php server or just change the client to stay connected and even receive messages from the server. The pipe goes in both directions..

"Keep in mind that this isn't a data transfer system designed for internet use. It can function independently on any computer, even those not connected to a local area network (LAN). If networking isn't a requirement for your needs, this solution will work great. However, if you do require communication between computers within your local network, simply enable file and printer sharing to establish connectivity."

I purchased ezKey last year to help me replace an old program (Software Passport) I've used for years.

I still need to make the effort to learn it.

Wondering how many are using this plug-in?
