Help getting started with interface plugin
« on: August 07, 2011, 12:38:05 pm »

I followed sime_george's (old) instructions for an interface plugin in C++ from here.  I've got the plugin showing in j river.  The instructions end with

You
should see your plugin !  Clicking on it will show a blank window - but that's because we
haven't actually got our plugin to do anything yet - that's up to you

I have done read/write of library fields and handled events with j river in COM (mostly in python and a long time ago in C#), but never anything with the display.  Any tips on getting started would be very much appreciated. 

I understand the concept of marshaling the objects passed back and forth into int/strings, but what and how you pass display objects (widgets?/HWNDs? I don't even know) is something I haven't done before.

Thanks!

Ok, got a bit farther.  I didn't realize that you could right click on the composite object in class view and select "Go to dialog" to edit the UI in visual studio.  Now that I've found that, I can start adding in elements from the toolbox.
