Maaza, I think your approach doesn't help to give you a hand.<div>The community cannot supply you the *time* you should invest in trying and, maybe, learning the necessary basics to do what you need. You shoud try and try and the, eventually, ask about things that go wrong.</div>
<div><br></div><div>QGis plugins are C++, with some macros defined by Qt. Nothing more, nothing less (am I wrong?). If you're able to compile C++ code in Visual Studio, you don't need to rely on Cmakelist. It can help, because it makes a lot of work for you, and you can be inspired by other plugins. But you also can build and link the usual way.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Have you read the "QGIS Coding and Compilation Guide" [1]?</div><div><br></div><div>giovanni</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/doc/manual/qgis-1.6.0_coding-compilation_guide_en.pdf">http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/doc/manual/qgis-1.6.0_coding-compilation_guide_en.pdf</a></div>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font:inherit">Can it be possible to create a minimalist plugin using c++ in Windows Visual C++ Express without using all the bells and whistles that are in the other plugins such as CMakelists? <br>
<br>Your help may make a difference between using Python and C++. I was able to copy a Python plugin and easily adopt it to my own version of a plugin. I was able to add and remove GUI items by just editing the UI file. I want to do something similar using C++. Is it impossible for a new comer? Do I need a Computer Science degree to? But it should not be as they say "Rocket science" to write a little function. <br>
<br>I promise if I get it to work, I will share it with those who are suffering the famine for information. I am not sure why there is lack of documentation on such a simple matter or may be it is not simple or it is esoteric because it is highly dependent on many secret
doors and passageways. <br><br>I confess my stubbornness to use C++ is due to the type of work being a bit intensive and I also have already a C++ code for it and I just need a nicer interface and data store that is free as in "Free Chai" inside QGIS.<br>
<br>Anybody there listening to the call from QGIS (Quiet or Slow GIS) desert? <br><br>Maaza<br><br><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>
