Gagan, If I add accui.dll and the *mgd.dll files all builds ok. No time to test but
I will tonight if you don't get it going.

In my Managed C++ project, I added a reference to AcRibbon.dll. After
having done that, in VS2005, the build is not successful; below are few
lines from the build Output. The build process seemingly goes on and on.
Any idea what is going on here? Thanks!

If I reference the ribbon related dlls in a new C++ project, they
compile/build fine. However, the same results in failed build in my
existing project. The existing project is part of a solution and there
is a lot of dependency across projects in the solution. I am beginning
to suspect this is more of VS2005 issue than ObjectARX.NET.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Paul,

This was indeed issue with VS2005. Although MS claims this these errors
that I reported were fixed in VS2005 SP1, it is not actually. I was able
to fix the build by setting AcRibbon reference's "Use Dependencies In
Build" to false (in Project Properties->Common Properties->References).
That has fixed this issue for me.

Thanks!

I think I replied too early. I still have problems when I reference
AdWindows.dll and AcRibbon.dll in a C++ project. It gives C4945 warning
as below:

Warning 1 warning C4945: 'GeneratedInternalTypeHelper' : cannot import
symbol from 'c:\program files\autocad 2009\acribbon.dll': as
'XamlGeneratedNamespace::GeneratedInternalTypeHelper' has already been
imported from another assembly 'AdWindows' c:\program files\autocad
2009\acribbon.dll 1

I was hoping I could ignore this warning using pragma, but can you
comment on this?

Thanks, Gagan

I can add all the libraries here and build find. I did some digging and it seems cli doesn't do
xmal. Sorry hopefully someone else can help out. Came across a post by Kean while poking
might be useful for general ribbon help.

Gagan, Seem since c++/cli doens't do xaml you can just ignore it...
