Title: VB for portable plugin?
Post by: gregnolle on January 03, 2003, 01:30:13 pm

Is it possible to use VB to access the functions of the portable devices API? If so, could anyone give me any pointers as to where to start? Or am I just going to have to learn VC++?  ;D

Thanks in advance,

Greg.

Errm...I already know how to use the Windows API. I'm talking about MJ's portable devices API, i.e. the Handheld plug-in SDK. The reason I ask is that the function calls listed in the SDK document would not appear to be VB-friendly in their current form but I was wondering if they can be called from VB nonetheless.

Sorry for the confusion,

Greg.

Never played with that SDK, would not know.

Maybe Steve would know (J Rivers, Portable Guy)

I am not sure who made the SDK For Portables.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have sent Steve a PM.

Thanks,

The only way to write Handheld plug-ins is by using VC++.

The problem is that Media Jukebox uses interface GUID to identify the plug-in, but VB plug-in can only be identified by using ProductID.

So for now, if you want to write Handheld plug-in you will have to use VC++.
