Hello,
I’d like to use the VM116 DMX controller in a Windows 8 Metro style app. However, the app runs in a sandbox, and therefor, whenever I call the k8062.dll nothing happens.
It works well in a standard WPF application : I call the StartDevice method, and then change the channels values. So my .NET wrapper is OK. But in a Metro style app, the StartDevice method doesn’t start the k8062e.exe process.
In fact, there is workaround to execute an external process in a Metro style app: I could create a custom extension file, like *.k8062, and register it to be open by default with the k8062e.exe program. Then, I embed a dummy file with that extension in my app, and I open it with its default application. It could work, but here it won’t because the process “is not stand-alone”. I probably have to give it some arguments that I don’t know about.
Does anybody have already tried to use the vm116 with Windows 8 ? I would be very interested to know if there is another workaround !
