Description: SDK includes the ButtonLink and Mega ButtonLink DLLs that
handle PC to ButtonLink communication and gives access to files on the
Button. The DLLs can be called from any Windows development environment
(C/C++, Visual Basic, Microsoft .NET, Delphi, etc.).
The following programs are included:
File Reader
The ButtonLink File Reader program is a program designed to read a
file from a button and display the information (in the original
application or in a text viewer) or act as a keyboard wedge to fill out
multiple forms to automate data entry. The program can be setup to
remain hidden (running in the background) waiting for a button to be
touched and simply touching a button activates the read process. This
program works with all standard sizes of MacSema buttons and includes
the Visual Basic 6 source code.
Front End
The Front End program is designed to demonstrate many capabilities
of a ButtonLink/Mega ButtonLink interface program and allow you to
quickly and easily work with all standard sizes of MacSema buttons and
mega buttons. The Front End program has a similar look and feel of the
Windows Explorer interface with the following features:
- Files are displayed as icons.
- Long file names can be used.
- Drag and Drop capability.
This program along with the Visual Basic 6 source code and the API
documentation allows developers to quickly implement an application to
fit their specific needs.
The following demos are included:
JPEG & Metadata Demo
The JPEG & Metadata demo allows items and images to be saved to
a mega button. The demo works with all mega buttons and includes Delphi
7 source code.
Ship Ticket Demo
The Ship Ticket Demo can be customized to show the customer name and
address on the form where the information is entered and is designed to
show the ability to enter information on a form and send the information
to a button. The information on the button can then be read and
displayed in the form. The demo comes with sample data that can be
loaded from the hard drive and the information can also be saved to the
hard drive. This demo program works with 2K or greater standard size
MacSema buttons and includes the Visual Basic 6 source code.
Waste Demo
The Waste Demo is designed to show the ability to enter information
on a form and send the information to a button. The information on the
button can then be read and displayed in the form. The demo comes with
sample data that can be loaded from the hard drive and the information
can also be saved to the hard drive. This demo program works with 2K or
greater standard size MacSema buttons
