Visual SourceSafe COM Question

[conor0callaghan]

I've created a program which adds more functionality to Visual SourceSafe.
Currently it works using a seperate gui..

Does anyone know how I can use my program as a plug in?

Microsoft Give VB sample code which uses Automation to perform and look the same as VSS.. Would it be possible to use this VB code to integrate my C++ code??

I don't know if it's possible to use the VB code to integrate your C++ code. It probably should work. You may have to rewrite some pieces a bit.

But can you tell me howe you used the VSS API with C++. I'm trying to write a shell extension to use VSS in the windows explorer and to make calls to VSS I have to use the ssapi.dll. But how do I include this DLL in my C++ project and how can I than create the objects and call the functions.

I tried including the IDL and #import the DLL, but then I get a lot of interfaces and no objects.
