Making plugins in C++ Builder? by Hijacker on 08-06-2003 at 10:09 AM

I've started windows programming in Bornalds development tool and I am just wondering if it's possible to use it to create plugins for MSG plus or is VC++ a must have?

Another thing. Can someone give me a simple example of how to start making plugins. Like an example or tutorial source code.

Thanks.

as far as i know all you need is a compiler that can produce dlls, but someone else will have to confirm this. As for the source code, there is a fully compilable template available on the msgplus site. It can be found here

try compiling that source with your compiler. if plus recognises it, you're compiler is ok. If it doesnt, you may have to get your hands on a copy of another compiler (such as msvc)

Borlad C++ compiler should be ok for the job... thos the sytax of Borlands C++ is more like the way C++ was designed. VC++is like Microsoft always does, simplified, and more complicated than is tshould be ;) so compiling the VC++ source in Borland C++ might not work... some changes might have to be made to it.
