This might be a stupid question, but I need to ask it.
We've got some controls software here at the plant; it's made by a fairly well-established engineering firm in the beverge business.
They write modules or "plug-ins" as they call them for their software, and these plug-ins can download data to an SQL file.
Here's the question: what are the magic words I have to ask them in order to learn how to interface with their programs?
In VB we call them COM files, and for this other piece of machinery it's called a DDE interface.
Maybe this is too broad of a question.
I keep asking this and they keep shining me on, basically.
All I want to do is learn how they interface with C++ programs, and I'll try to figure the rest out myself.
What I'm trying to fix is the fact that sometimes we will have to wait a long time for them to code the plug-ins, and I'd like to learn to do it myself.
Thanks for the help and the patience since I am a fledgling C++ programmer.
