Graham,
so, generally speaking: In an AW51/WP70 environment you can't process and
visualize object data at the same time in the WP. You would have to run an
X application on the AW51 (using FoxAPI to get the data) and have it open
its windows on the WP via Exceed (to visualize it for the operators).
Well...It's not what I hoped for, but so be it...
Regards and thanks,
Sascha
