I have started to play with this myself. There may be several reasons for
this. One is that there seems to be a limit to what you can do with the
Wizard. The other is a distinct lack of documentation about how to do it.
The example is nice but it dose not answer everything. I don't know if that
would be easily written or not but it si a bit overwhelming starting this
thing and trying to learn VC++ at the same time!
ONE HUGE HELP would be access to the SOURCE CODE of ALL or MOST of the
modules. That would get one going in a hurry and allow you to customize. I
realize the writers may not want this but there may be those that would
permit it.
I certainly would allow mine if I ever get one going. We are not making
anything on these so that is not a reason to hold back.
Besides, so far most of what I want is supported. :-)

Subject: [WriteLog] W5XD+ keyer in other loggers?<br><br>
<br>
Hi<br><br>
Unfortunately I am unable to complete the migration to WL, since<br>
it does not yet support sufficient contests. Thus I must revisit<br>
( e.g.) TR for this purpose. However then I am without the SO2R<br>
support offered by the W5XD box.<br><br>
Is there some way that these facilities can be utilised outside<br>
WL? In particular I ponder how the key signal is enabled via the<br>
selected COM port, in my case COM1 doubling up for control on<br>
Radio A. Is this perhaps via an A/B signal from WL, not<br>
supported by other progs.?<br><br>
<br>
Also I am aware that driver routines in C++ are provided for the<br>
keyer. Is it possible to compile these routines as a DLL, and<br>
bolt on e.g. to another Windows prog. like N1MM if not for the<br>
DOS progs.<br><br>
<br><br>
Advice appreciated.<br>
