C Hook Development

[bigprody]

Ok I think it is time I start looking into developing and modifying some c hooks to help streamline how we program here. My skills are limited, but over the years I have been able to write a few simple applications in Visual Basic. My initial questions are, can I use Visual Studio 2013 community, and is the source code for the chooks that are supplied available?

Kevin,

 

Is there a reason you want to develop with CHooks? Knowing Visual Basic you may find it easier to use our NETHook API with Visual Basic.NET

 

There are a number of project examples downloadable from mastercam.com and yes you can use the community edition of Visual Studio for development.

Thanks Mick, I wanted to make sure that I did not start down the wrong path right from the beginning. Net hooks it is, and I will look at the examples. It has been a while since I have messed with VB, I can usually muscle through the basic stuff, but there is no doubt I will need some help from the sharp minds here when I run into road blocks.
