Got the SSIP server configured to run as a background process upon startup. You can select the system tray icon and choose to open the console window or shut down the server. The console window now supports 5 levels of logging: DEBUG, TRACE, INFO, WARNING, and ERROR. This allows you to customize how much detail is fed to the console window about client requests. Logging level is currently only configurable by a /LogLevel parm on the startup. I'll add a list box on the console screen for it later. For the "normal" operation of the server, however, one will simply start it up and let it run quietly in the background accepting requests and speaking text or playing sounds. Having gotten the initial server functionality down to something I am okay with for a first release, I am concentrating on the clients now. The java client is able to send requests and receive data from the server now. For example, the sayString method call will instruct the server to speak the text through the current API such as Jaws, window-Eyes, or SAPI while the list voices command will return back an array from the server listing the currently available voice settings. Calls such as setRate and getRate are also working. Hope to finish up an initial set of clients and post the 1.0 version soon. I will provide documentation on the actual server API but, for the most part, you should be able to simply use one of the provided sample clients in your own applications. In other words, you should be able to self voice an application by creating an instance of the client and calling the saystring method rather than worrying about the socket interface and API commands. However, if you want to create a new client or want to see what is going on inside the server, you can use the server console window at whatever logging level you wish to research and/or debug your client. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of inthaneelf Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 11:42 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: C# - is there a layout manager example for C# 2.0 odd, I sent this several days ago, hmmm inthane .
