Hello,

I tried to get the basicpanel up and running from the sdk examples (cc2018\source\sdksamples\basicpanel).

It compiles fine and get loaded, but I do not see any menu entry nor the panel itself.

Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance

Regards

In general this plugin creates two menu entries one in the "About Plug-ins" and other inside the Windows menu. Are both of these entries missing for you? If yes then how did you conclude that the plug loaded just fine. There are many reasons which could cause plugin to fail even after it compiled successfully. Try using the debug version of InDesign to get more info on your issue, you might be prompted with a probable cause of your problem. If that does not solve the issue, let me know if this a MAC issue or Windows, it might be a case that your resources are not being compiled or not placed where they should be, we can verify that too.

No, both are not present.

it is loaded because when I compile it as  release with debug info, then I can place breakpoints in the source which get hit.

You compile the debug version? Don't. Unless you have the debug version of InDesign.
