oh yeah, should have said, love the work Gandi! I have lots of experience with client-server data communication within .Net. If LUA did support extraction of information from CDU (lines of text and button states; don't need no full graphics-rendering info), I could have a working app (using Gandi's graphics) in just a weekend....

Is it possible for any of the ED team to give quick yes/no answers to whether the CDU text is extractable via LUA? And if not, if it will be possible at some point in the future?

doh, Just found this other thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62342 wasn't trying to pull focus or anything! ;-)

Hi 'pitters, I've been lurking on these forums for some time, and have my own little pit at home for A-10C. Nothing mad or that needed alot of skill in doing. Some switches, some woodwork, and am working on overlaying of Thrustmaster MFDs onto a 2nd monitor. So I've always followed threads about the power of LUA and what it can provide. And whilst I am a 35yr old commercial developer in c# + WPF, I have no knowledge of LUA at all, and have stayed away due to time (family ;-) constraints. But having just followed Kylania's 'Mark point to Flight Plan programming of a CDU' document, I have an idea that would let me focus on a particular aspect and give me the incentive of learning LUA. I have a 6" touchscreen Samsung Q1 which is lying around. Completely useless in 2010! So: * If it's possible to export the individual lines of text from the CDU via LUA and * If it's possible to discretely push any of the CDU buttons via key-strokes or LUA I have all the tools necessary to create a networked CDU application in .Net. Can people tell me if the above are true, and if so, I'll get cracking. Thanks!

Will there be key commands for L/R/both MFDs? [oops] found another thread which answers my own question. Will be waiting for future beta so!
