Joan,
Just my opinion. I didn't shut down for the weekend. Turn off your computer,
or yourself a beer, or two, or three, and pick it back up on Monday.

Best,
Kevin
PS. Have a great weekend.

Believe me, this stuff is not easy to do. I spend more time researching than
actually coding trying to figure out these errors. It is using the windows
kits 8.1 and I think I need it to reference something more recent because of
all the errors. I’m not trying to correct every code piece because it will
take forever. I just have to fix the linking to the correct files so it
compiles. Still working… if anyone wants to give a call I need a break.

It seems to be going faster than normal now. I turned on the pre compiled
headers after I ran into the snag and things are compiling faster without
errors except the parts I am still working on. I ran into a compatibility
issue with the ITL file for visual studio, but I’ll resolve it when I have
more tim. Going to bed now. I will have to give this SDK back to cake walk
for a better support matter. Basically I’m sharing the code back with others
so that they can use their control surface for another project. I didn’t
want Sonar blind to be the only child on the block. This is basically for
NVDA and window eyes developers. Having this will be invaluable to them
since not everyone can afford JAWS.
Good night,
John

I’m working my ass off on this. I have to recompile this whole project from
scratch. The .Net framework simply doesn’t like the old code. I found code
referencing windows NT in it. That sucks. I’m hoping that I can make this
thing work better. I’m no C++ expert… yet… But after this, I think I will
be. This is a massive project. I had hoped that it would be easy, but
nothing in this world is. I’m just messing around for the code and paying
attention to the framework. I guess the guys at cake walk never updated this
framework stuff into .Net. I spent more than 100 hours this week. Probably
around 150. It doesn’t bother me to code like this. I used to go days doing
computer stuff. Of course I wasn’t on anything, I just loved it so much.
Oh well, back to work.

A reaponse from Gordon on control serfaces.

Hi:
A while back I downloaded the newest control surface API and took a quick
look at the documentation. From what I was able to gather, it seems that
there have been changes to the protycols and of course classes that are used
as compared to the jSonar surface, which used a much older API. I;m not a C
plus programmer, so I can’t comment on what is going on with your DLL, but
I;m sure it is more difficult to receive the data coming back than it is to
send it. I hope you can get this working, it truly is the only way that
true access to Sonar X can be achieved.

OK, got the DLLs for x64 and x86. Everything is correct in the registry when
registering either DLL. Power shell sees it, jaws sees it. The object
creates successfully in jaws script. This is true for both versions of the
DLL. The jaws script knows that the object was created successfully. But
there is an issue. The calls to the DLL are not communicating with Sonar
platinum in 32 bit or 64 bit installations. I make sure to unregister the
DLLs properly and it does nothing when I issue commands to the DLL. I have
the control surface loaded in sonar as well. I am so lost as to why it is
not working. I must be missing something.
Any help or outreach is greatly appreciated. I even looked at JSonar to see
how commands were issued and no luck. I get nothing from the DLL. I have
triple checked the registry settings and everything is good. Power shell
reports the object just fine. Perhaps I should issue a command in
powershell. Please, everyone reach out to other developers in this issue
because as soon as I get the program communicating to the dll we are in good
standing.
Thanks,
John
