Re: [Flexradio] Compiling the SDR code...
Jeff, The problem is that you need the DirectX SDK in order to compile the source. You can download this from Microsoft.com. Be warned that it is a large download (approx. 230MB). Even though we have taken a step back from the DirectX graphics, we have always had the option of using a DirectInput device (such as a joystick) as an input in the old CW form. This necessitates the SDK for compilation.

Re: [Flexradio] Compiling the SDR code...
Thanks, Eric, that was it. By the way - where is the text stored for the "banner" that appears on the top bar of the application (the one that says, at the moment, "...1.4.5 Preview 9"? I'd like to change it to something unique so that, when I'm running the app, I know which version I'm running.

Re: [Flexradio] Compiling the SDR code...
Jeff, The best way to modify the main title is in design mode of console.cs. Make sure to compile first so as no to lose custom controls (see note about bug in IDE in the readme.txt in the PowerSDR root folder). Once that is done, simply double click on the console.cs file in the solution explorer and it will open (slowly) in design mode. Click once on the representation of the console and then modify the Text property to change the title. Alternatively, you can simply add a line in the constructor (towards the end) that says something like the following: this.Text = [insert text here]; Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems -Original Message- From: Jeff Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 6:02 PM To: FlexRadio - Eric; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Compiling the SDR code...
