League Administration Component Environment
This is the LACE plugin interface for League Administration Software
version 7 and newer. Our developers at All American SportsWare have created
several plugins using this interface design, and are pleased with the
ease with which it works. From the links on this page, you can either
read the documentation to LACE online, or download the LACE SDK package,
which contains the same documentation, along with two sample plugins:
- Plugin -- Strictly a sample; This plugin contains much helpful
internal documentation about what the parts are for, and
demonstrates how to use project files to create APP files
for the plugins in VFP; However, it has no other purpose:
basically, a "Hello World" plugin for Dos or Windows.
- Passes -- This is a DOS only plugin that we developed to add
the "Player Passes" functionality to LAS. Since the creation
of this plugin, this function has been completely integrated
with LAS, and so this plugin was never updated to work in Windows.
(Perhaps this would be a good exercize for a learning plugin
developer to accomplish: Note that you must use FoxPro v2.6
report files in all versions of LAS (including all LasWin versions)
because this is how las creates the text-only reports with
winprint commands)
We do recognize that having intimate
knowledge of the design of LAS gives us many advantages in this area,
and that the documentation for LACE needs quite a bit of work to make.
Therefore, we welcome questions and requests
for advice to help you to be productive in creating your own
plugin reports and features. Your inquiries will help us add
documentation in the necessary areas, while not excessively detracting
from our own development efforts on other projects.
Our preferred method for inquiries is by
email to
support@AllAmericanSportsWare.com. We will send replies as soon
as we can; Be specific in your questions and include source code
in order for us to respond more quickly. We also offer LACE plugin
development advice consulting over the phone at US$75 / hour billed
in hour increments to your choice of credit card.
