Now your project is ready to use IDSSAPI
- but you may not be. You're probably wondering what exactly
you can do with it and how exactly to do it. Given the lack
of documentation available from IDSS, we have to rely on
our common sense and the "Object Browser" tool.
Access the Object Browser from "View" menu or
simply press the F2 key.
By default, you will be looking at a
list of globals - things that are accessible from anywhere
in your current project. We will want to narrow the scope
down to things that are a part of IDSSAPI and this is easily
done by choosing it from the drop down list.
From here, you can choose an item on
the left and the list to the right will display the appropriate
sub-items. You can quickly determine what each item is from
its icon.
One of the classes contained in IDSSAPI
is called Core - click on "Core" to see what that
class contains. You will see the IDSSAPI.Core is the home
to functions such as PlaySound, Sleep, and SoftReset.
In your exploration, you are likely
to come across something that you simply aren't sure of
based on the name alone. Lets use the Core class's GetTickCount
function as an example. When you click on GetTickCount,
the bottom portion of the Object Browser will provide the
details needed to understand the purpose and usage of it.
