Re: bot classes (Sdk)

Is this a reply to Brant's question? If so, I think you're wrong - its not
simpler to make a bot class in C++ (which I assume you meant). The main issue is that you cannot provide a reference to a class member function as a callback function, so the whole callback process must be supported by a separate mechanism. This mechanism has to accept the event, determine the object that the event was intended for using the instance sdk instance parameter and deliver it accordingly. Also, all instances of VB classes are created as COM objects and therefore a COM DLL can be created very easily to distribute the classes as a bot framework with very little additional work as well as run out-of-process very easily.
