Cores and CoreHandles

[Ilitirit]

How do I assign/get the name of a MEDIACORE?
the developer faq says:

A CoreHandle with no parameters is for the "main" core in WA3. You can, however, have other cores created and existing in the system with different names -- to get a CoreHandle to these, you construct your core handle with the name of the core you want to control.

maybe i'm being daft but i can't find any methods which enable you to get or set the name.

Since i couldn't get the name, I tried getting a corehandle using a token returned from api->core_create()

code:


#define OTHERCORE 1 //main core's value is 0

svc_mediaCoreI *copyCore;

copyCore = castService<svc_mediaCoreI>(api->service_enumService(WaSvc::MEDIACORE, OTHERCORE));

//^^^this is basically all one needs to use the core.



//Is the following code OK?

CoreToken ct = api->core_create();

copyCore->setCoreToken(ct);

CoreHandle testCore(ct);



//the following code doesn't work. >:(

testCore.setNextFile("file:D:\\test.mp3");

testCore.setVolume(100);

testCore.play();



//this however does work :)

/*

copyCore->setNextFile("file:D:\\test.mp3");

copyCore->setVolume(100);

copyCore->start();

/*

I traced the calls thru CoreHandle and it seems that the functions just pass the calls on to UserButtons :(

So I guess my next question is how do I link buttons to a core?
Also, what is the definition of a core? Does the definition imply that it has a gui attached?
