[Exodus-dev] Newbie Q (Plugin development example)

[Jose Ignacio Rio]

Hi all, I'd like to develop a plugin for Exodus (C/C++ code), but my problem
is that I never programmed a COM object using VC (just VB), so, my questions
are:

Are there any C/C++ (VC) example around there ?
Any skeleton to just put the code in ?
Would be possible to make a VB plugin for Exodus ?

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks in advance.

First hint is to use ATL. There's a wizard in Visual Studio. You'll
need to implement the IExodusPlugin COM interface... if you do it
right, you'll end up with skeleton code that you can fill in. Look
on MSDN for examples of how to use ATL.

VB should be even easier. Just implement the interface. If you're
using VB.Net, you'll have to add some registry entries, and use the
head of CVS.

Thanks Joe, I'll try.

Any one have expirience using VB ? I ask because VB has no all the types
implemented in C/C++.

Thanks in advance !
