Registry Polling Integration

 Top  Previous  Next

The GetAscii interface can accept messages that are passed to it via the Windows registry.  Messages written to a predefined location in the registry will be picked up by the GetAscii interface.  The application to be integrated with PageGate MUST be running on the same computer as the GetAscii module to use this integration method.

 

To integrate using this method:

 

1)

Open the Windows Registry Editor.

 

2)

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\NotePage\Transfer\Messages\

Note: In versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NotePage\Transfer\Messages\

3)

Create a new Key.

 

4)

The name of the new key should be unique so it doesn't get overwritten by the next message.

 

Under the new key, the following values should be created:

 

Name

Type

Value

Description

Ready

Dword

0

Specifies whether this message is ready to be read in.

To

String

Custom

This entry specifies the Recipient or Group within PageGate who should receive this message.

From

String

Custom

This entry specifies the Sender value for this message.

Message

String

Custom

This entry specifies the text of the message to be sent.

 

After all the values are written, set the 'Ready' value to one (1).  This signals PageGate that the entry is complete and can be read in.  These new entries are automatically removed by the GetAscii interface after they are read in.
