Hi Mark, I adapted the Visual Studio 6.0 Example from the Plugins SDK - in fact, I opened it in Visual C++ 2005 Express, and I think it pretty much worked. I may have had to tweak some things (it was a while back now).
I tend to write all my code for both platforms in Xcode (I prefer it's editor), and have a Windows PC set up to use these source code files as part of the Visual C++ project. I then add platform checks for the platform-sensitive bits using TARGET_OS_MAC and TARGET_OS_WIN32. It works a treat for me.
