Aloha COM interface

[regilobo]

I'm interested in developing an extension to Aloha using the COM interface, but I cannot find documentation for the interface, what it allows you to do, etc.

Could someone kindly send me any docs they might have on the interface? I think there is at least a KB article or two that would at least get me started.

I understand there is an SDK available, but my queries to Radiant have so far been ignored. I'd like to know what I'd be getting with the SDK before filling out an application waiting 4 months for it to possibly be approved. Plus, there is some cost to the SDK that is unknown...for a small project it might not be worth it.

Any idea how much the SDK costs if they approve your application?

Your help is much appreciated!

I am in the same boat. Waiting for the app to clear. My understanding is it is roughly $5000.00 for the SDK. If there is anyone who knows what the base SDK is written in that would help me (DB2) or what?

Thanks

My company paid $2500 for an SDK license. The have examples in VB and C++

Oh, here's a tip (if you didn't know) -

If you have access to iberqs.exe (the aloha terminal app), restister the COM object as such from the command line:

iberqs.exe /regserver

Next, use MS Visual Studio's OLEView tool to look at the type libraries created for the COM object. You can even export it as a file and then import it into a C++ project, where you can then start coding to the interface. This doesn't replace having a doc, but at least you can see the available methods, etc.
