I know its been a long while since I have updated the SDK. Fact is that the framework is done enough for anybody with know how to accomplish alot; it is the documentation that is lacking. I just don't have the time right now.

If you do decide to make you own module before I release the updated documentation be aware that there are several classes that will either disappear or be fundamentally reworked after I release NBB 1.0. (off the top of my head I would stay away from any of the window related classes and any table cell class or just be aware that those will undergo some hefty changes that will break any modules that rely on them. some may disappear and be reconstituted as categories instead.

control classes are safe for now (except for table cells).

with that said here is a sample xcode module project that you can download and do whatever you want to. all it does right now (I will continue to improve it over time) is create a control bar with a home and options button. the purpose however is to allow you to embed 3rd party applications by editing the launch.scpt and exit.scpt files included (they are just blank apple scripts right now). if you can't tell from the name they are scripts that will execute on module launch and exit respectively. you may also add scripts to the existing modules as well by creating scripts titled as explained above to a scripts subfolder in the module resource directory.

NOTE: for the scripts to be executed you must be using NBB release 9G (as of this writing it is unreleased)

hope somebody does something useful with this

EDIT:to recompile the projects you may need to relink the neonboomboxSDK framework to the one located at Noeonboombox/contents/frameworks. once it is built the resulting module can be dumped into anybody's NBB modules folder and work

EDIT2: you may also need to delete your prefs if you have set custom positions for the dial buttons. alternatively you can rename the module built in this project to something that comes after P. it will probably be many months before I create a way for the module loader to work around this issue unless 3rd party interest ramps up significantly

Edit3: new example project below
