I know this isnt my thread, but I have a question concerning plugins and dlls for DBPro. For christmas I got Microsoft Visual C++ .net 2003 Standard edition. Well anyway, I can't seem to make a Win32 .dll like the tutorials say. Would an MFC DLL work the same way? If not, is there any way for me to make a Win32 .dll in MSVC++ .net 2003 standard that I dont know about? Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Preston

MFC works more or less the same way - if you want to create windows etc, its best to do it from a C wrapper...

If I were you, I'd stay away from MFC for DBPro DLLs. MFC uses a set of very large DLLs that must be on the users machine to enable your own DLL to work (you'll find them in the system32 folder called mfc*.*) - not everyone has the latest versions of these, so you would have to include them in any download you provide.

Stick to standard windows DLLs and you'll be fine. Select a standard windows project, and switch it to a DLL on the second page of thw wizard.

The actual 'thing' that you should look for on my site is the Framework example, and also the Utility plug-in with source code.

For free Plug-ins, source and the DBPro Interface library for Visual C++ 6 and .NET

@IanM: Hey, I never noticed that, thanks. I've also been checking out your framework example. Maybe after a bit, I may have a decent plugin ready

Cheers,
