Creating a Plugin DLL.

Place the DLL in a folder named "Plugin Tasks" (with the space) in the UltraExplorer install folder:

{$UltraExplorerInstall}\Plugin Tasks\MyTask.DLL

and UE will load the DLL when the "Task" button is pressed in the Task Window to load the strings for the menu.  This menu is loaded dynamically and will be slow the first time as the DLL's are loaded.  After that the DLL's are in memory and the access is much faster.

Notes:

   The VCL will not allow Popup Hints to be shown in the DLL form.  This can be hacked by redirecting the FindControl() function but that is for a later day.  First things first and that is getting the basics working.
