What about C++ ?

General

Installed this piece of glory called Xojo some weeks ago and I’m loving the GUI.
I love the fact that it’s simple to create cross-platform apps with already defined layouts.

But the One thing I am focused on right now is programming, now that I’ve found Xojo. Reason being that I normally code in C++ for programs and Video games.
Although I’m still learning (at 66% in C++) , It’s come a long way. And I would not want to give it up or abandon it while I’m making apps in Xojo.

That’s why I’m asking the Xojo Dev Team to create some sort of plugin/add-on script that enables Users to code in C++ for their apps.

Create a DLL?
There already is a Plugin SDK

If you mean to write your app in C++ instead of Xojo? that ain’t gonna happen.
If you mean to write plug-ins to enhance an Xojo written application, this is what Jeff is referring to.

Okay, now that’s a valid option.
But where can I locate the Plugin SDK?

If writing apps with C++ ain’t gonna happen, then the plug-ins will do

I think here: http://developer.xojo.com/plugins-sdk

Wilfred, can you move the topic from “Forum issues” to “General”?

You want to write a C++ plug-in ? Niiiiice…

Look in the Extras directory next to the IDE itself.
