ActiveX linking with SMARTbox...?

[WARMAT]

I would'nt say i'm new to VB, but classing me as someone who knows about it would be wrong as well. Im doing a project at school which involves building a car simulator. To use the relevant analogue controls, i have to wire them into a SMARTbox. THis device then can be shelled by VB, through a program called Logicator.
While researching the idea of ways to get VB to "talk" to the SMARTbox, i thought of maybe bypassing the logicator program totally, and therefore use an ACTIVE X Control to get VB to talk to SMART.
Could someone help me on this idea please, and if anyone knows of a patch which has been writtn, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea whatsoever what a smartbox is If it's an external bit of hardware that comes with some software included to install, you could try browsing for it's installed Dll files fromt he vb project menu > references option.

When you add this dll reference in you could then take a look in the object browser to see if any methods or properties are exposed for you to call on in your code...
