Highlights of the code
Launch Demo13 Visual Studio project from the SDK. Open Form1.cs and locate the line below:
void DataExchangeService_clientSetData_ID_Event(string clientIP, string viewName, string dataName, object dataValue, long processID)
{
switch (viewName)
{
case myViewName:
if (dataName == exposedVariable_volume)
{
//UI Thread safe way of setting the text box value from your iOS device
UpdateTextGUIObject(textBox_volume, (string)dataValue);
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
The delegate function "DataExchangeService_clientSetData_ID_Event" is called whenever you dial the knob on your iOS device. An exposed variable called "exposedVariable_volume" carries the data. Since this event may not be on a UI thread when setting the new value on the Windows textbox, It is important to call the function "UpdateTextGUIObject" to ensure it is UI thread safe.
