Catching a 3rd party system event.

Re: Catching a 3rd party system event.

Bob,

It looks like they supplied you with a COM component. You should be
able to set a reference to this component in your project and it will create
a wrapper that you can use in .NET (which will also expose the appropriate
events as well).

Hope this helps.

Re: Catching a 3rd party system event.

If I understand you correctly your telling me to add the reference to the
project in the solution explorer - Yes?

I got that far. My problem is adding the event to the code. i.e.

I can see to add an event handler for a button click
someThing.Click += new EventHandler(do SomethingOnClic k);

but I can't see how to add the handler, method or anything pertaining to a
3rd party event.

i.e. If an event happens on the system, for example some process starts,
then how do I catch that? What can I use to catch it and how do I set it
up?
Using the same idea as above:
<whatAttachesTo This>.<whatShou ldGoHere> += new <nowWhat>

Thanks

Bob

Hi Bob,

Here is a nice example:
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/COM-Tech...cle.php/c3943/

Create a delegate pointer and events that you would have to fire anytime you
need something to happen. You can create any events you want.

Another great example can be found at:


Hope this helps,
