Re: How to set xFx Hub Express Listener IP through .config

["jsharlan" <jsharlan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am using xapintranet.ocx in a VB6 app to receive temperatures from
Speedfan via xAP messages. I would like to try the xapax.ocx but cannot
download the DLL bundle referenced in the tutorial. The Link (http://patrick.lidstone.net/ha/Download/xAP/Files/xap-ocx-rxtest_win32_src.zip)
on your Download page seems to be broken. I did get the xapax_17.zip file
downloaded.


I will remove the HUB and xAPSpeedfan and give it a try.


Thanks for the HUB config information, If I need to use the Hub it will
come in handy.


Thanks again.


Steve
