Using GpsGate API you can start GpsGate, send data to and receive data from GpsGate. For OEM
licensees this API is also used to activate GpsGate.
Applications can (of course) access or write data to GpsGate using any of the standard options
in the GpsGate Settings menu, like serial ports, TCP/IP and UDP. The main advantage of using
this API is that you can make sure GpsGate is started and you can access GPS data without knowing anything
about how GpsGate (or the GPS) is configured.
To start, send and receive data read more about the Simple class.
For OEM license activation read more about the L class.
GpsGate can be configured and launched by your application without being visible to the end user or needing any
end user interaction.
To configure GpsGate from you installation program, or application, see ggXML for GpsGate 2.0,
Registry for GpsGate 1.10.
New in GpsGate 2.0 is the possibility to write PlugIns. Almost all functionallity is written as
PlugIns in GpsGate 2.0. A PlugIn can typically convert protocols, or read and write data to device not
yet supported by GpsGate. More info: IGatePlugIn
Samples. You find samples in GpsGate SDK which can be found on the beta
download page.
Error handling. The ActiveX component generates standard COM/OLE exceptions. In Visual Basic you
typically handle those errors with "On Error Goto ..." and similar statements. The .NET component
generates standard .NET exceptions, typically handled with try/catch statments. The C++
library do not generate exceptions, you will need to call GetLastError() to check if an
error has occured. Note that this is not the win32 version of GetLastError() rather a method of the
used object.
All variables in the ActiveX components are Variants. This is to support all kinds of COM enabled
script languages. The type information (e.g. String, Integer, etc.) that are specified in the reference manual are the
Variant type and nothing else. For Visual Basic and script language developer this is of no major
concern, everything is handled automatically, but it can be good to know. In the .NET and C++ static libraries
no variants are used.
