Theres a full (and free) SDK for writing DevStudio plugins. I've not used it myself but I've heard it's not too difficult at all to make good things happen with it - most of DevStudio is in fact a a set of plugins to a core exe
I think you might be right about the bat file idea. I did this a looooong time ago but it looks like cl.exe is spawned as cl.exe as opposed to shellexecute "open cl" or similar. Either way, its a one line windows program to make an exe run a bat file, but whilst you're at it you may as well either do it properly with the SDK or just "do your stuff" with the exe itself. I'd buy slickedit - its cheap and good and geared up to running other compilers (it's purely an editor) :) Regards, Paul Johnson Applewood House www.applewoodhouse.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jos� dos Santos Machado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 7:42 PM Subject: Re: Newbie Question - Using Visual Studio?? > Paul Johnson escreveu: > > > It's actually quite easy.
