Cant find Utility plugin list from Lesson 1a

[nodermatt]

I learned about this repository from the forum post

I am able to clone, build (release mode) and deploy the plugin from lesson 1a, but I don't know where I am select it. The documentation merely says: "selected from the utility plug-in list:"

The plugin is loaded as you can see from the screenshot below

But it the dialog of the command pane doesn't show it. (Funny enough, it does show the dotnet plugin I built "MyMaxPlugin").

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong

Hi, if you go to the Utilities control panel, and then click More..., do you see your utility plugin in that list?

Also, double-check that it's built correctly... I just tested and noticed for some reason on my side, it was using the wrong c++ platform toolset. For 2020 it should be v141. If the plugin is loading correctly, you should see it in either utility panel dialog. It will be listed by name as the name used in class name (UtilitySample) and category (Test Plugins). Hope it helps...

Thanks for the hints guys, I'll give it another shot.

My project buddy got it working on his machine, so I'll compare my settings with his. As this isn't a problem with the code, I am closing this issue

So it turns out the Utility menu did show the plugins, however, for some reasons the label didn't show up

the two empty lines on the left are actually lesson 1 and lesson 3. I haven't found out why the ClassDesc doesn't return a value since I haven't done any changes in the code.
