New smartWatchM API

Currently available only in the v1.2.2.4 (http://beta.smartmadsoft.com) and for SE/Abacus/Fossil watches only.
This is the recommended way for interaction with the watch and creating other sw/plugins etc. The old 3rd party notifications will still work, however only this new API will be updated and enhanced. Are you missing something? Let me know.


Because smartWatchM is .NET application, you cannot send any messages directly to the application window.
Read the handle from registry. To start an action, simple send a message to this handle.

HKLM\Software\smartmadsoft\smartWatchM
MsgWinHandle (DWORD)

Simple actions (WM_USER)

wParam description
1 vibrate
2 envelope


Text and other actions (WM_COPYDATA)

Add one of the following at the beginning of the string.

Raw: send any raw at command
Text2LinesScroll: display a text, no scrollable (96) or scrollable (192) if possible (mbw-150 or newer), use \r\n as a line break
Text2LinesNoScroll: display a texe, no scrollable (96), use \r\n as a line break
TextFull: display all the text

Can you post a VB sample showing the usage of the API?

Thanks.

Things like making the watch (SE MBW) vibrate is simple:

SendMessage(handle, WM_USER, 1, 0);

Display envelope:

SendMessage(handle, WM_USER, 2, 0);

Sending the text using WM_COPYDATA in not "that" easy but you can find a lot of examples on the web:
