I found this message in the archives but no answer. Has anyone found a way to make UltraLingua work with the PPI? I have sent their customer support a message asking for help but no response yet.

Normally applications are launched with 'sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch' (0). Some dictionary programs can be launched with a custom launch command. For RoadLingua this is just 'sysAppLaunchCmdCustomBase' (0x8000) and for BDicty it is 'sysAppLaunchCmdCustomBase' + 212 (0x80d4). If Ultralingua can be launched this way, the authors should be able to tell you what the code is and if the word should be copied to the clipboard first (BDicty free requires it). Some dictionary programs do not support custom launch commands and use other methods. Like Noah Pro, you select the word and then use the commandbar to start it. ---End reply Christopher R.
