minimal extension code examples there
I am rather frustrated with my findings.

I installed Visual Studio 2019.
I easily can make the IDE crash and stall by some mouse clicks.
I don't seem to be able to create a very simple desktop application with e.g. a Button.

I was able to compile the "minimal extension" to a 64 bit dll and copied that to the userplugins folder (where Reapack also sits).
After starting Reaper, I don't see any sign of the minimal extension. What should I see ?
I had hoped that I could use Visual Studio to design a kind of GUI for the intended extension (i.s. something like a spreadsheet). But this does not seem to be the case.

Do I need to completely design any GUI in C code (similar to how it's done with JSFXes) ?

And finally I have been told that the Visual Studio download is only a tryal and will end in 30 days ?!?!?!?!? Is that true ?

Thanks again,
-Michael
