2. C++ Programming (Microsoft Visual Studio 2005)

Follow this steps to create a simple application in C++ using the WireLess Studio Widgets Library.

2.1 Creating the C++ project
Create a new MFC Application. Click "Ok".
Click "Next".
Select "Dialog based" as your "Application type". And use "MFC in a shared DLL".
Click "Next".
Deselect the "ActiveX controls" checkbox if you're not going to use any and click "Next".
Click "Finish".
2.2 Suppressing dialog and classes
Press [DEL] to remove the auto generated dialog class.
Press [DEL] to remove the auto generated dialog resources.
Suppress the references to the class dialog header file "BarcodeReaderForCppDlg.h".
Clean the calls to the suppressed dialog from the InitInstance() function..
2.3 Adding exit method
From the class view, select the CBarcodeReaderForCppApp class and add the ExitInstance() method..
2.4 Adding WireLess Classes from Type Library
From the "Class View" select the project icon and the menu "Add->Class".
Select "MFC Class From TypeLib" and click "Add".
Select the WireLessStudioOleWidgets library from the Registry and add the widget classes. Click "Finish"
The new classes should appear in the Class View..
Create the member objects (in the main class) for each class in the WS library. You should suppress the WS objects not used by the application.
Initialize the member library objects one time. Normally in the InitInstance() function. Then call your user application. Note: The WS application will run in the InitInstance() handler and doesn't process any window messages..
Release the WS library at application exit, in the ExitInstance() method..
Write your application in the RunApp() method.

Remarks (READ THIS! before start coding)

Currently the functionality of some RF objects is not supported by the WSt Widgets Client: RFBUTTON, RFMENU, RFERROR , RFIO and RFUSRAPP
