Hello, I am trying to send my own text during a transaction to the pole display. I have everything in place and outside of RMS I can send stuff to the pole display out the COM port, but when the hook is running during RMS POS I can not my dll to talk out to the pole display. Is there any tricks to this that anyone has found? thanks, Nick
RMS uses OPOS to comunicate with the Pole Display. RMS POS 'claims' the device when it starts and holds onto it until it is closed. If you want to send messages to the Pole Display, it may be possible to do it through QSRules (the Session object that can be passed to a hook function will give you access to QSRules). I guess that you could remove the pole display configuration from RMS Register Properties and control all of the display functions through your add-in; I really wouldn't recommendtrying to use the RMS built-in messages AND your own custom stuff - I think it's going to be an exercise in frustration...
You might have more luck using a second lcd display and using the Web display features - that is handled through HTML and is easier to customize.
