RE: [cdt-dev] C/C++ Wizard

["Bernard Ogden" <Bernard.Ogden@xxxxxxx>]

If I understand what I am reading correctly, natures apply to projects
and tools rather than to wizards. I am trying to create a new project
wizard that is available under both the C and the C++ folders in the
'Select a Wizard' page that lists the available wizards, but that
appears only once in the list under 'File->New' when in the C/C++
perspective.

The closest I can come to applying a nature to a wizard is to apply it
to the MBSCustomPageData for the custom pages that make up part of my
wizard, but this does not achieve the desired effect. Am I missing
something?

Thanks,

Bernie
