UI-View32 Station Movement Alarm

This program is supplied mainly as an example of using the UI-View32 ActiveX interface. The idea being that add-on developers can use it to learn how the interface works. The VB5 source code for the application is in MoveAlarm.ZIP in the DEVELOP folder.

It allows you to create a list of stations and will alert you if any of them move. Also, a history list is available for the stations, so you may wish to add fixed stations to the list if you want to be able to review when you heard beacons from them.

To add a station to the list, enter its callsign into the text box and then press return or click the button.

To delete a station, highlight it in the list and press the Del key.

If you double-click a station in the list, a history window opens that shows the history for the selected station.

The status messages window records a list of movements and also shows when stations in the list have been deleted in UI-View32.

Every time a station moves, an alarm sounds. However, there is no alarm for movements less than the distance specified in the "Ignore movements less than" text box. This allows you to suppress alarms for "movement" resulting from GPS selective availability.

The Setup menu allows you to select either Imperial or metric units, and to disable the audible alarm.

The alarm sound is SIREN.WAV in the WAV folder, you can change the sound if you wish by simply replacing it with a different WAV file.
