UNICODE compiling problem

[dc.groups]

Hi! I am trying to compile my plugin for UNICODE format. I have definded the following preprocessor definitions in my project settings:

WIN32,_DEBUG,_WINDOWS,_USRDLL,_UNICODE,UNICODE

Now I have lots of compiling errors in the following cases:
1.
DEFINE_PROPERTY(Plugin_Name, TEXT("some plugin name"));
I have the error:

Plugin.cpp(35) : error C2664: '__thiscall NCPluginProperty::NCPluginProperty(const unsigned short *,const unsigned short *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [12]' to 'const unsigned short *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

It seems it doesn't like Plugin_Name constant. The same error for Plugin_Version, Plugin_Author and Plugin_Description.

2. For all DECLARE_PARAMETERS declaration, I receive the same error:


DECLARE_PARAMETERS(Plugin, setNotify, TEXT("does the notification"));
IN_PARAMETER(event, TEXT("event"), TEXT("all"));
OUT_PARAMETER(result, TEXT("out description"));
IMPLEMENT_COMMAND(Plugin, setNotify) {
return S_OK;
}


complaining that it cannot convert setNotify, event, result from char[x] to 'const unsigned short *'.

Is there anything else I need to do to my project - from NC_Plugin.lib point of view - if I want to compile the project with UNICODE support? I noticed that all methods are passed to the macros with their names and not as a string ...

Thanks,
DC.

The current Plugin SDK does not compile under Unicode.

There are options, though, and the best course of action is to contact us directly by email at support@northcode.com, and provide us with some details as to what development environment you are using.
