I’m using the eSignal Control API from my third-party application. I have run into the following issues during my first attempt at using the API.
1. When I start the data manager process programmatically, it shows a window. This will not work for my application. I need a way to hide this and I assume that other programmers have come across this before. Is there a setting in the ini file that will not show it?
2. Since the data manager is an ActiveX control, it requires a resource to set the OcxState in .NET. The only way I have found is to drag and drop it from the toolbox onto a form or user control in order to have the resource manager defined. However, I am using this from an API of my own, so there should be no GUI at all. Is there another way of declaring the data manager in .NET?
3. The C# sample application that installs with the SDK is just the VB6 application rewritten, line for line, in C#. It doesn’t use any of the .NET framework classes or C# features. Is there another sample that takes advantage of the .NET framework?
Thank you for your help.
