Generation of multiple source files

[cdow]

I am a newbie to EA, and I have been playing around with Custom Language and Custom Templates.  How do I configure EA to generate multiple file types?  I know the C++ template will generate a *.cpp and *.h files, but how do I do the same for a custom language?  Also can I generate other files from the C++ template (e.g. *.dat) in addition to the header and implementation files?

I'm quite sure that you can only generate only one file per class since there is only one property holding the filename. Someone might proof me to be wrong, though.

There is a way to generate multiple files, because the C++ generator will generate .h files and .cpp files.  It may just be that the API to create the files is not accessable when executing the Template 'code'.

It's only possible to generate two files (header and implementation) for C++, it is not supported for any other language.  It is also not possible to generate extra files in addition to the files already defined.
