Hello,

I wonder how FSNavigator and FSUIPC extend the standard FS2000 menu.
Something like this is not mentioned in the SDKs offered by Microsoft.

The Gauges & Panels SDK describe some parts, that is equal to modules (like
the global exported variable "Linkage"), but there isn't any information how
to write a "module".

If anybody has informations about that, feel free to post them to me (either
in to this newsgroup or by email - remove NOSPAM in address).

Thanx in advance,

Journy

The author of FSUIPC spent a lot of time with a debugger deciphering what
is happening in FS2000 and FS2002. Much of it is not in the SDKs.

Hi,

I found out that subclassing is ok for adding custom menu items to the MSFS
Menu. And it really works :)

OK. Try this:
write a gauge program able to fetch POSITION_VELOCITY for instance, but with no
phisical gauge.
Instead of compiled that as an EXE, compile as DLL and put it in modules
folder. The "hello" sample program may help to start.
Let me know the results.
I would like to have your test program for subclassing. e-mail to my e-mail
addr please.

Ok, for modules and gauges, in general for program fragments, that should be
dynamically loaded into a process, DLL-Linkage is necessary.

As soon I am back I will send it to you. But I did this with VC++.NET, so
you may create a new project with the IDE you use (or just a makefile *g*).

c ya later,

Journy
