Otherwise you may find yourself having to do a lot of extra work integrating your UI with ArchiCAD (especially emulating special controls for attributes like pens etc).
Hi,
I have just started learning how to create ArchiCAD addons using VC++ .NET. When I create a new ArchiCAD addon project and compile it it works fine. However when I try to add a new windows form, it fails to compile.

Alos, make sure you look at the GRC documentation, e.g. "GRC Specification of the Dialog Types". This is Graphisoft's primary mechanism for describing cross-platform resources.
Can you suggest how to work with the ArchiCAD API UIs?? Just tell me where and how to start.

The compiling was succesful but was incorrect as the Addon admin did not recognise it as a valid addon.

That's all right. No need to worry about that warning, as it complains about a debug info file which is deliberately not supplied with the API DevKit. You don't need it anyway.

That's because you didn't supply a valid Developer ID and Add-On ID in the GRC files. (Please see the 'Required Resources' page in the API documentation.)
