This is the third release of the hugely successfull MultiPlex Online
Application Protocol. It allows users to stream specially created OAP
applications over any TCP/IP connection using HTTP as it's transport.
MultiPlex is a scripting interface that I designed a year ago. It allows
uses to create applications using many languages mixed together, eg:
JavaScript and VBScript in the same application. With the introduction of
version 3 come many new features. Now the scripts can be compiled into
complete applications with full GUI features - dialogs, buttons, labels,
timers - anything. If you can make a program in VB you can make it in
MultiPlex. The script also has full access to the Windows API and is able to
call any function it defines. Version 3 also allows the user to create and
changes skins that an application may use. To show the power of MultiPlex I
have included a sample program (Minesweeper, from a sample on VBC). This
also demonstrates another feature of MultiPlex - events. In the future I
intend to make MultiPlex into an online setup program...a very powerful one.
The best way to see how it works is to download it and see. I was unable to
find a good web host to use to emonstrate the streaming features, so when
the message box appears please press No and open the Minesweeper sample. I
believe that this is very useful code - if you do and you are impressed,
please vote. There are so many leaches out there that take code, use it, and
don't even think about the work that went into it...Anyway - enjoy!!!
