Hello Framers, it's been a few years since I've read & posted to this list. I've started a new position, and am back to using frame, so have rejoined the list, which has been a great resource in the past.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to play with the FDK again to learn more about Frame internals. For a starter project, I'd like to automate Frame with Ruby scripts (similar to FMPython). So first off I'm trying to create a simple asynchronous client following the FDK docs (which are terrible). I'm trying to run the example client in the Windows Guide, and I'm unable to connect to an active Frame process using either F_ApiStartup() or F_ApiWinConnectSession(). According to the Windows guide, F_ApiStartup() should connect to a locally running instance of Frame, though there's a cryptic warning in API Reference that F_ApiStartup() is only available on Unix. F_ApiWinConnectSession() is also failing, whether I start Frame and give it a process name, or try to attach to the default name of FrameMaker.Api.1 (which I've confirmed does have a registry entry). I'm using Frame 8, FDK8, and VC++ 2010 Express (which can compile and run samples, so I know the compiler is working). Any ideas from folks who may have tackled this problem before? Thanks!
