Hello experts,
For those who don't know me yet, I must say that I am a real beginner in XML coding, I never thought XML was an appropriate language for coding. On the other hand, I am an expert in C/C++ with which I developed many panel gauges and systems, including drivers for hardware devices.
Today I would like to use a hardware rotary knob to control the navigation display that is based on the FSX GPS in some add-on aircraft, especially the double rotary knob that controls the GPS input. I can open and read the XML code for this gauge, but I don't know how to reach my goal. I guess I should find the actions triggered when the knob is turned and write a code that triggers the same actions when the physical knob is turned. I tried to do this but I hardly understood the XML code and reproducing all the actions when the knob is turned looks difficult to me, not to say impossible...
Do you know any simple way to trigger the actions of a knob rotation in an XML gauge?
Thanks,
Eric
