Well, no. Sonar has to be running and the control surface loaded.
I could probably try this with power shell really quick.
Nope, nothing returned but errors. Same with jSonar plugin.

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.
