Re: [Gnumed-devel] guibroker

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi !

This was what I was looking for. Took me a while to figure it out but the code 
helped a lot. Works great.

I added a function 
def RaiseAnyPlugin(aPlugin):  to gmPlugin.py

I guess Karsten will change the code I wrote quite a bit but now it is 
possible to call any(?) registered plugin.
Changes have not been checked into CVS yet.

Keep hacking,
Sebastian 

BTW. Anybody else still working on gnumed ? CVS traffic is hardly noticeable 
lately.
