Introduction

This AppWizard can be added to an existing installation of Microsoft Visual Studio.  It then provides a quick way to generate ActiveX based COM DLLs to enhance the functionality provided with Pro/DESKTOP.

 

Requires:

 

 

Installation

Copy the file (ProD AddIn.awx) to the folder that holds all the Custom AppWizards for Microsoft Visual Studio.  Generally, this folder is:

 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Template

 

Description

Once the .awx file is in place, you will see that when you create a New Project inside Visual C++, you will get an option to create an ActiveX COM DLL for Pro/DESKTOP.  The Add-In Wizard will guide you through the process of adding a new command inside Pro/DESKTOP.  It will then create a small project with the starter set of C++ files.  Build the new project that will produce a DLL.  You can then use the Tools/Add-Ins command inside Pro/DESKTOP to try it out.  See the online help inside Pro/DESKTOP to learn more about Add-Ins.  See the Pro/DESKTOP Developer’s guide on writing Add-Ins.
