Does someone know, whether it is possible to use the decimal plugin from Bob Delaney with Xojo? ---

I have tried it before asking. 1. I put the plugin in the plugin folder and restarted the computer. -\> dim c as new Decimal (example from the docs) Can’t find a type with this name 1. I dragged the plugin in the ide -\> same problem I would be happy to learn what is my mistake. PS: the code completion seems to know the plugin. ---

No idea I’ve never used the plugin It should just be drag the plugin into the Plugins folder next to the IDE application & restart the IDE ---

Hi Jens I tried it for you and I can confirm it still works fine in Xojo 2015 r4. I tested it in a Desktop and a Web project. Note that it won’t work in iOS, plugins aren’t supported there. You might also want to double-check in case Double meets your requirements. [http://developer.xojo.com/double](http://developer.xojo.com/double) ---

This seems very similar to [https://forum.xojo.com/29259-baffled-by-can-t-find-a-type-with-this-name/p1#p240321](https://forum.xojo.com/29259-baffled-by-can-t-find-a-type-with-this-name/p1#p240321) this conversation in that autocomplete works, but running doesn’t. ---

I verified that it works, actually. Just like Gavin. ---
