Visual studio project type for ProjectWise API

I am planning to develop a custom ProjectWise API using C++ in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and am having trouble determining which "Project Type" to create. The API will be called from another application and passed a parameter which will search ProjectWise for documents meeting some criteria and then if those documents are found a window would pop up that includes links to each document.

I have developed other PW API's in VS 2005 using MFC Application and WIn32 Console Application types but I don't think they will work because I need to open a window, just not at startup time. I tried starting a project using a Windows Forms Application type and was able to open a custom window later, but when I tried setting it up to use the API functions like I normally would for an MFC application, I got compiler errors from several of the API header files and got stuck.  Any suggestions? 

 

Thanks,

Stephanie
