I’m developing a plugin for InDesign CS5.5. And when developing a plugin you can’t really debug if you don’t have the debug version of the program you’re developing for(in my case, indesign).
I tried to get the debug version from adobe with no success. A lot of bureaucracy.

So my question is: Is there a way to attach a debugger(or something else) so I can see where the code is going to?

I’m really tired of typing “MessageBox”.

Thanks in advance.

For indesign plugin development c++ is used by the way.

    If your plug-in is a dll that’s loaded dynamically, you can attach Visual Studio to the process, set breakpoints, and step into your dll’s code. To attach to an existing process, just go to debug -> attach to existing process, or try the shortcut Ctrl+Alp+P IIRC.
