3D Program's Plugin

[malikah]

Hi, I'm trying to patch a plugin for a 3D program. I want to fix a greyed out button and be able to save files - both of which are disabled. Only problem is, I can't run the file like an exe because it is a .dlr file (similar to a .dll). I can view the interface and strings in PE Explorer but Olly shows nothing. Is there a trick to modifying a plugin for a program? Here's what I've tried:

1. I used PEiD to see if the .dlr was packed - it was not
2. I ran a string search in Olly to see if there was any identifiable strings - there was not
3. I tried to attach the file to the 3D program to see if I could get it to work - I could not
4. I tried modifying the file in PExplorer but the file remained the same
5. I tried doing a search but all I get is posts about Olly plugins

in your step 3, and then find in executable modules in olly (alt+e) where the plugin module you want to patch.

Thanks for the reply kiki but after I've done that I still can not find the text strings that were visible in PE Explorer, therefore I can not find where these events are called. For some reason Olly doesn't show them.
