Application development question (non techincal.. sort of).

[wolfgray]

In my coding of a P300 app, I became curious as to something.

Of people developoing BCI2000 apps,
what is the common way of developing the graphics side?

Are most people doing what we see in the bundled apps
and using VCL, making a gateway type app to tie into another
display language or software (.NET etc), or are most peple not
developing new apps, and just hacking the older apps?

Thanks

Hey Luke,

As far as I know, most people use the VCL when they write new apps. This is certainly the way I would also encourage. In general, making the system dependent on many external compilers/APIs/technologies essentially means that the final product becomes very 'fragile' and any change in either an internal or external technology might break the code.

In other words, if you would like the code to be used by many other people, in the same lab and in others, you should stick, if at all possible, to what Borland Builder can do for you, and simply develop yet another BCI2000 User Application module.
