I am writing to you because I need help with the control surface. I made my
own control surface and all the reg entries are good. Power shell sees the
object, JAWS sees the object in 64 and 32 bit DLLs. I have implemented the
control surface in the preferences, and all seems fine until I make a call
to one of the methods. Nothing speaks. The registry entries mimic what
JSonar does in the registry with different GUID CLSIDs. All seems fine. I
even tried installing JSonar and switched everything to
JSonar.controlSurface and made the control surface active in Sonar
preferences. I also placed the appropriate DLLs in the shared surfaces
folder. I have Platinum 64 and 32 bit installed and nothing is speaking. Is
this issue correctable? Is there some secret I am missing? I'd be glad to
send you the DLLs to work with. It uses a SonarBlind.ControlSurface hook. I
made everything look the same in the registry, but alas nothing is working.
I even tried this in X3 and nothing helped. I compiled with Visual studio
express 2013 and all went fine building the DLLs. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. This is the key to making Sonar work. I am wondering if there
is some setting in the registry I am missing.
I sent this out to Victor and Jamie and hopefully gordan hears me too. I
think there is some setting in the registry that will enable the control
surface to speak. I was amazed at the jSonar DLL because it says control
surface active when you load it in the preferences control surfaces. I'll
take a better look at the code to see if there is anything missing, but I
mimicked the JSonar entries with my own identifiers. Seems that things are
working, but not quite yet. There is probably some silly setting somewhere
that I need to enable.
Thanks so much for your time.
