Hi all,
Does anyone know of an easy way to control Pd from a simple Windows application? The Tieman braille interface that our targetgroup uses (driven by Supernova software) automatically displays Windows-compliant interface objects such as dialog boxes; it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to send messages to it from within Pd directly.
So, what I would like to do is build a simple Windows app that can send and receive messages to and from Pd, for instance with Visual Basic. Any pointers on this subject are highly appreciated!

You could try and use a sockets connection.. build your pd patches to accept netsend signals and then use a localhost socket conection from one application to the other.. This would only work for controller data though.. not useful for audio rate data... Try GriPD http://mambo.peabody.jhu.edu/~jsarlo/gripd/ for a more toolkit solution.. based on MFC style interfaces...
hope this helps
Tom

To talk to Pd's netsend/netreceive from another application, you can start with the simple programs u_pdsend.c and u_pdreceive.c, and build out from there any way you wish...
I'm curious what you're up to... are you trying to use Pd to generate a helpful sound stream for blind computer users? I've wanted to do that for years...
