I would like the experts of this newsgroup to give me a general understanding of RMS regarding developing Hooks.
Beside general info, maybe some simple example of an integration.
I have several links and documents, but I still don't grasp the idea of Hooks.
I have a project that Hooks are invoved and would like to start as soon as possible.
Great idea...

Was that sacrcastic?
I am new to this and being Microsoft I assumed that the forum is very helpful. I hope I get some assistance.

No - I would also like to built my own add-on. Trying to support you.
This newsgroup is great in most areas - but with regards to sharing how to do add-on - it appears not to be the case.
Dan,
I'm just an end user so I could care less if you get the info you're looking for. But why would you expect someone who makes their living using that info to teach you how to do their job, making them irrelevant? This group is for questions on how to setup, maintain, and optimize RMS for you business. Getting info on how to write customizations is out of the scope of the group, and in my mind it is pretty lame to bad mouth the same people you were just asking for help from. If you want to write customs for RMS go through the procedures to become a partner and you'll get access to all the info you need, including the appropriate newsgroup, the one for partners to help partners.
I am EXTREMELY thankful to guys like convoluted that have taken the time to help me, and others, extensively through the years. Many things they have helped me with I would have never been able to do myself, such as queries that have made my life with RMS a lot easier. They have no reason, other than the goodness of their heart, to share their knowledge with us. Be thankful these guys are here, and willing to help with anything they can, rather than insulting them for not sharing the things they wish to keep proprietary. In my business I will give my paying customers the shirt off my back if it will help them. The ones that come in just looking for a handout still get help for the basic things, but I only give the most important info, the info that makes me relevant to them, to my paying customers. That is what puts bread on the table for my family.
I'm sure if you hired Convoluted, or another partner, as a consultant, you will get the info you are looking for.

You can develop your own hooks in language of your choice, but you need the roadmap of the qsrules.dll library. This info is in the customization guide that your MS partner will need to share with you. If you are not paying for a support partner then you need to hire one of the partners that visit this forum to help you.

Wow - I would cut down on the coffee.
I am always thankful and appreciative to many of our generous contributors on this forum and don't bad mouth them - in fact I am very grateful. I just find RMS very closed source - I can find out how to do macro's in Excel or Word, and get information on doing modification on numerous other software products but not RMS.
Why?
You can get help on sql queries, modifying reports, with setups questions, etc... all things RMS partners do to earn a living, just like add-ons... I have found that actually many of the partners don't do add-on except for a select few.
Perhaps if I had Convoluted, Jeff(at)checkpoint, Matt, Akber, Afshin or others (sorry I can't list everyone) that really make this forum as a partner I would not have problems getting the information I am seeking.
Dan
Hi, Jessica. Convoluted is essentially saying that hooks & buttons are the RMS programmer's bread and butter, and he is right! He is also right that you need a customization guide. If you are a vb or c# programmer, you can suffer through it. Essentially you pass an instance of the pos session into your program, manipulate it, then return it. Good luck!
