Project Settings
Do the following settings to make the C++ sample plugin to work
...
.
Open SampleCommand
...
Property Page and do the following settings:
In Configuration: Release
In Platform: Choose the appropriate platform (in this example, it is x64).
Specify Additional Include and Library Directories
...
: Include libraries and include files from ARES Commander SDK folder
...
...
.
Include files can be found in C:\Program Files\Graebert GmbH\ARES Commander 20XX SDK\Include\*. Specify Additional Dependencies: Link appropriate libraries that implement ARES Commander plugin API.
...
Libraries can be found in \Program Files\Graebert GmbH\ARES Commander
...
20XX SDK\Libraries\
...
*.
Change extension of output and other properties as
...
in the image below
...
:
The name of the shared library containing the subclass of OdRxModule
...
should be
...
according to the rule: <application name>.tx.
...
Define _TOOLKIT_IN_DLL macro:
...
Open SampleCommand property
...
page and set C/C++ → Language → Treat WChar_t As Built in Type to No (/Zc:wchar_t-).
...
Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Graebert GmbH\ARES Commander
...
20XX\BIN and find the files named TD_Db_*.dll
...
:
In our example,
...
the file name is
...
TD_Db_4.03_
...
15.dll.
...
Add the
...
_4.03_
...
15 suffix to your output .dll name to
...
load it
...
normally.
...
Building
Build the SampleCommand project
...
, then Open ARES Commander and use
...
the APPLOAD
...
command to load your application:
In our example, we have SampleCommand_4.03_
...
15.tx as result.
If there are no errors, a confirmation message displays as successfully loaded with the output of the project
