Hi Harro,
I'm interested to know the sort of thing you had in mind when you said
one of your desires was the "ability to interface to dot net". In my
mind the BlackBox framework is an *alternative* framework to the .NET
framework and am unable to envisage how the two might interface with
each other usefully.
Maybe you want to use BlackBox as a cross-development system for .NET?
It might be feasible to be able to use the BlackBox Component Builder to
edit and compile programs to target the .NET framework, but they would
be unlikely to be able to use the BlackBox libraries, the forms
capabilities, or make use of the profiler or other development tools as
these are so BlackBox-framework dependent.
Maybe you want to access some BlackBox dlls from .NET? It is fairly
common for .NET programs to call Win32 dlls via the so-called
platform/invoke feature. I don't know whether it is possible for Win32
programs to call .NET dlls.
Regards,
Chris Burrows
