I’m working my ass off on this. I have to recompile this whole project from

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
