As I upgraded one CMM to Windows 7 64-bit, my small VBS helpers died in the process (still kickin' butt on XP though).
So, I have begun re-coding them in Visual Studio 2010 (I think). I have gotten so far in the coding where I need to connect to PC-DMIS and start interfacing with it. Now, I managed to find the DLL that is supposed to expose some interfaces and methods and I have successfully added it to my project.
Then what? How do I use the DLL to connect to PC-DMIS and expose the PartPrograms collection for instance?
Oh, I am using C# for this...
Any and all input, examples or suggestions are VERY welcome!
It is a clean slate installation - no other versions are installed or have been installed, 2013 MR1 SP1 only.
I have tried with PC-DMIS started and with it not started, but it doesn't matter.
I probably don't have to mention that C# is a totally new environment for me, I feel like a hurt antelope on the C# + PC-DMIS plain, the lions are many and I am seriously limping...
...to make matters worse, I cannot do a live debug on the PC-DMIS CMM (IT restrictions).
