Hi all,

Im trying to write my first IDA plug-in which allocates some memory for my own use:

  response = AskUsingForm_c(AllocMem_dialog, &alloc_size_in_bytes);

   lpvResult = VirtualAlloc(NULL, alloc_size_in_bytes, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
                    
if (lpvResult == NULL )
    {
msg("VirtualAlloc failed.\n");
return;
    }
    
    VirtualProtect(lpvResult, alloc_size_in_bytes, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &dwOldProtect);
    msg("%.08X allocated region base address\n", lpvResult);

Memory is allocated successfully but IDA doesn't see this newly allocated memory:( how can I make this memory visible to IDA ?
