Windows Issue

[Matthias Schmidt-6]

Hello,

I generated with the plugin wizzard 2004.7 on Win XP the files to build
a stub for my plugin, which is mac only.
Then I copied the constants to the rsrc file.
I changed the plugin.c file in a way, that every command returns 0.
Then I compiled the stuff with visual studio 2005.

Now when I start 4d on XP always one plugin command gets addressed, when
the plugin is loaded (before OnStartup starts running) and tells me that
the argument types are incompatible.

How can that happen?
How do I debug a plugin with VS?

Thanks

cheers,

Matthias

Sorry I don't know how it is happening but to debug a plugin under
Visual Studio you can do one of two things.

1. Set 4D as the Debug application in the project properties. Now,
when you Start Debugging 4D will launch and you just select your test
database as normal. Now set your breakpoints and they will be hit as
normal.

2. "Attach to Process"  - use this to start debugging an already
running copy of 4D and your test database.

one string in the rsr file got somehow damaged. A letter was missing in
method definition in the rsr file.
Then I figured out that the constants don't get copied.
After copying them by hand to the plugin everything was fine.

Thanks, I figured that out meanwhile :-)
