Hi,
Is it possible to use Windows API to create GUI for Microstation plugin? Does it integrate with Microstation? (e.g. would it dock like native Microstation window)

I think there is at least one example delivered with the SDK (I don't have V8i installed). There are some C++ base classes that you should inherit from to create a modal/modeless dialog. Look for a header file something like nativewinmfc.*.
nativewinmfc.*

Hi Wojciech,
It is not clear what do you mean by Windows API, because it is too general: Do you mean low level C GUI programming, or MFC library?

Maybe to read MicroStation SDK documentation (MicroStation Programmer Guide) is the step how to start. There is MFC Dialog and Native Window Support chapter available, providing plenty of useful details.
And, even when I never used it, there is also Visual Studio template for using MFC available.
