Centrafuse SDK Information

**veetid** · 08-10-2005, 10:00 PM

Here is the API for the Centrafuse SDK. I have created this to hopefully help simplifiy and speed up car application development. Centrafuse now completly runs of this SDK, so it has full control to extend the functionality of Centrafuse...

You will simply add a reference to my dll and inherit from CFPlugin... I have created easy to use functions for the SDK and they are all located in the CFPlugin class and begin with "CF_"

A few highlights....

You now have easy access to display all common system dialogs, easily customize them, and receive the results... a few include: yesno, okbox, filebrowser...

Skinnable controls for Labels, Buttons, Sliders, List Boxes... and all associated methods and events...

A common way for reading multiple languages, skins, and configuration files using XML and the Centrafuse reader classes...

Access to all Centrafuse actions...

Multiple events including next track, previous track, power mode change...

Full access to windows mixer and Centrafuse EQ with easy to use methods...

this is just a few highlights...

The SDK will be available when 1.5 is released....

Wow David! You have been hard at work lately, first v1.4 and now the SDK! Thanks so much for your efforts.

I have a suggestion, maybe provide a sample project file that would be an example showing how to use different parts of the classes. That might make it easier for us to get started on developing plugins.

Dont Hate me but, i still dont fuly understand what an SDK does. I know it stands for "Software Development Kit" But can some1 tell me what you can do with it and what its purposes are.

An SDK is compiled to make it easy for end-users to make their own plugins for a program..
Say that you would want a feature to check your e-mail, that could be done by
a plugin which could then be seamlessly integrated into CF..

There will be multiple examples included with the SDK download...

What SDE would you need to develop something for CF, using the SDK?

SFTEUOA (Sorry for the excessive use of accronyms)

Edit: It was answered on the other thread. Sorry.
