Hi,

I am planning a win forms app that bascially has a shell
that has plugins to provide functionality.

I want to be able to create a library of subclassed
win form controls that I can control the font
colors etc so that when the app font is changed for
exmaple all controls in all plugins change.

So my question is should I allow the plugins
to refernece the control libary and pass to
the plugin the application properties.

Or

Provide a control service main app
to the plugin that would allow the
app to control application properties

What is the best way to do this?
