If you take JAWS out of the picture, will the methods return anything? Does
Sonar have an application to test their methods in the control surface?
Best,

Subject: [sonarblindbeta] Sonar Blind control surface issue
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.
