Creating Plugin in C++

[oraclelover]

I know C++, not as well as PL/SQL and other languages I use daily. I used the example included in the plugindoc/vc++. What I'm trying to do is create a new export format. This new format will be pipe delimmeted. Here is my new code that gets me to the point where I'm haveing problems.

//This will put the text in the popup window for the user to select
char* RegisterExport()
{
return "Pipe";
}

bool ExportInit()
{
bool SaveFile;

SaveFile = IDE_SaveFile();//Opens a file dialog so the user can save the output to file in the desired location



return SaveFile;
}

The problem is IDE_SaveFile saves the current SQL statement to file. I only want the user to choose a locaiton and file name and then expor the data to file. So I tried to create a dialog box instance like the code below and this is where my error starts and I can't figure out how to get around it.

bool ExportInit()
{
bool SaveFile;
CFileDialog fileDlg( TRUE, NULL, NULL, OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT | OFN_HIDEREADONLY, "All Files (*.*)|*.*||", this);
return True;
}

I I then try to include the header
#include I get this message.

Error executing cl.exe.

Any ideas sorry if this is simple but I don't use c++ much.

Ok I moved the #include to be the first include and this error goes away.

Compiling...
StdAfx.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxv_w32.h(14) : fatal error C1189: #error : WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must not #include

But I get

I'm not really a VC++ export, so I can't help. Perhaps somebody else knows?

Any one out there create a plugin with C++? And if so any ideas to figure out this issue? Thanks!
