Title: MJ Interface
Post by: Evander on September 26, 2002, 12:46:47 pm

Hi. Is there a way to control MJB from my own program? I'm not talking about plug-ins, i'm talking about my own EXE program controlling MJB through COM or windows message, DDE, etc.

Thanks.

Not so far ... but I have been thinking of writing something that will allow you to do it.

On the client side it would have a COM interface that matched the MJ interface.   Internally it would marshall the data and send the request to the MJ machine via TCP/IP (or a named pipe if it was locally) which would then issue the "true" request and then send the results back.

This would then get round loads of limitations with interface pluging (but probably introduce a few of its own) but the benefits would be enormous.

You would have to create 2 programs.

1. Your exe

2. A MJ plugin.

Then you would have to have some sort of communication medium between them.  COM, shared memory, or Windows Messages, or.... :)
