    Okay I am filmier with creating Editor windows using C# i'm just wondering if anyone has used C++ to create DLL files for there extensions.

    I'm just not sure how to go about creating menu items and stuff in C++, could anyone show examples?

    That's not something that can be done. You can create native code plugins where the functions are called from editor scripts, but considering they have to be compiled for each operating system separately, you'd need a very compelling reason that really can't be done with C# to bother with it.
