Title: opening a midi port
Post by neuwirthe on Aug 9^th, 2002, 5:40pm

i would like to use midiox
as a "complete" com server for doing midi stuff.
it seems i cannot open a port,
i cound not find a method doint this?
i can send midi messages to open ports.
but how can i open a port?

can i open a midiox instance so it is "hidden"?
from a vbs file.

basically, what i want to do is writing a vbs script which opens
a port,
sets an instrument,
plays a few notes, and closes the port again?
can i do that all from vbs?

Although you cannot open or close individual ports, you can address specific output ports. The solution is to have all output ports be open in MIDI-OX -- then you can address any particular port.

If MIDI-OX is closed when it is Minimized in the tray, it will reopen minimized in the tray.
