Now that you have created and started the channel, you can open Borland Delphi 4 and run your plugin from it. To do this:

• Find the location of the project file for your plugin. This file normally has the suffix .dpr (for example, Client.dpr).
• Open this project file.
• If you have not already compiled this project, from the Project menu, select Build <name> (replacing <name> with the name of your project). Ensure that your plugin was built successfully with no errors.
• From the Run menu, select Parameters.
• In the Run Parameters window, in the Parameters field, type the command-line arguments that your plugin is expecting. (The plugin that is generated from Chameleon stubcode expects three arguments: the host name of your Iguana server, the plugin communication port number, and the name of your channel. For information on the plugin communication port number, see Plugin Settings.)

• Click OK to close the Run Parameters window.
• From the Run menu, select Run to start your plugin. An output window appears, indicating that the plugin has started and is sending test messages to the Iguana channel.

For example, if you run the sample source plugin generated from Chameleon's Stubcode Generation window, the following appears:

	If you used the Chameleon stubcode generator to generate your plugin, you may need to ensure that the VMD file that you used to generate the stubcode is located in the same directory as your executable file. (The executable file has the suffix .exe.)

• In Iguana, click the Logs tab to view the logs. The logs should indicate that the test message was received from the source plugin and added to the message queue:

• If this message appears, the plugin works properly. At this point, you can close the plugin, save the project, and exit Borland Delphi 4.

If this test is successful, you are ready to test whether the plugin works when run as a standalone application outside of Delphi. The next section describes how to do this.
