Hello,
I need to find out about interfacing to non-RR programs on a Windows
machine. There are programs running I need to get data from, and I can add a
function to them to provide the data, but I don't know if I can call it from
RR. I suppose I could write the data periodically to a file and read it with
RR, but that is a little messy and I would need to single thread the file
access somehow (all of my previous experience is on Unix, not Windows, so
this is all new to me). I could go through a database manager like MySQL,
but that is overkill for what I want.
There was once an "External Collection", which can still be found here: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/
That supports DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) on Windows, and that might be exactly
what you are looking for, although i do not have the slightest idea how that works :-)
The collection is supposed to be free nowadays and you should contact RR to get
a free license key...
I can't find much on this topic in the RR documentation or in Dan's book.
Can anyone tell me where to look for instructions or examples? Thanks.
Hope that helps...
-Paul
You are very generous with empty lines ;-)
