StageRace Messaging Protocol

The StageRace Messaging protocol allows for external (third-party) programs to communicate with StageRace in real-time. This way general competitor information as well as rankings can be read and also rankings can be set, where rankings do include race times.

Only if you are a programmer or are otherwise involved in the application of a third-party program that is enabled to communicate with StageRace, this information can be of interest for you.

The Messaging protocol is based on the window messaging system and a number of StageRace specific messages has been specified.

When StageRace is opened, you have to ensure that the right StageRace document is opened and set as the active event for the 'outsiders' to communicate with.

If actual communication takes place, an icon in the status bar lights up for every message that is sent.

Note that the StageRace Messaging protocol is part of the StageRace product and therefore falls under its License agreement.
