BS SDK

Tutorials

The intention of this section is to show the main features of programming with the BS SDK through some tiny examples. Although the real power of the APIs only can be revealed in serious applications, these examples do give an impression of the functionality. For a complete description we draw your attention to the Programmers Reference.

Tutorial for Visual Basic:

These are a set of simple Visual Basic applications that show step by step how to embed the BS Contact ActiveX control and how to access the scene graph. They have been written with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (SP5).

• Example_1
  demonstrates how to embed the BS Contact ActiveX control and how to load a VRML World.

• Example_2
  demonstrates how to set field values of VRML nodes and how to read them.

• Example_3
  demonstrates how to respond to events that occur in a VRML Scene.

• Example_4
  demonstrates how to dynamically add nodes to the scene and how to delete them.

Tutorial for Visual C++:

These are two examples of MFC applications that explain how to embed the BS Contact ActiveX control into an MFC application and how to access fields of the scene graph. They have been written with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.

• Example_1
  explains what is important for successfully embedding BS Contact into an MFC application.

• Example_2
  explains how to include the blaxxunVRML type library and how to use it for getting access to scene graph and for modifying VRML fields.

Tutorial for Delphi:

These are two examples of Delphi applications that explain how to embed the BS Contact ActiveX control into an MFC application and how to access fields of the scene graph. They have been written with Delphi 6.

• Example_1
  explains step by step how to embedd BS Contact into a Delphi form.

• Example_2
  explains how to create a scene dynamically and how to modify the values of VRML fields.
