view PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 20028:a2b4eac83902

Part of #1332 to introduce pidgin_text_combo_box_new_entry and accessor functions. I made some changes to: * Not leak * Popup the dropdown when up/down arrows are pressed, to imitate the old behaviour to some extent. * Change the accessor defines to accessor functions. I think this all works OK now. Yell at me if things don't work, and then fix it. :-P

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
