ActiveHome Pro SDK Sample Project

This sample C++ application demonstrates how to receive X10 commands using COM events. It creates a small console window that logs incoming and outgoing X10 commands. The console has two buttons to send the specified X10 commands.

AhCView consists of an ATL dialog CMessageDlg, and a event sink class, CNotify. On initialization, the CMessageDlg creates the ActiveHome scripting object using CoCreateInstance. It then advises an event sink with a CNotify class being the target.

Thereafter, as ActiveHome scripting events are received by the interface, the events are dispatched to the CNotify object, which in turn directs the CMessageDlg object to add a new event to the list box.

CMessageDlg could receive the events directly, without using a helper class. In that case, it would need to provide an IDispatch interface and implementation for _IActiveHomeEvents. The code was implemented with a separate helper class to keep event reception separate from the dialog logic.

Requires CM15A, X10 device service, and ActiveHome Scripting Interface.
