This distribution is verion 1.0b of my CD Strip Control Strip module.
It shows how to perform the basic functions of a control strip module including how to allocate a global variable block and keeps its reference. It also shows how to do things like load 'STR#' resources and 'MENU' resources during your initialization phase.
Probably most importantly, it shows you how to call the Apple CD-ROM driver to play tracks from an audio CD and get information about the disk.
I must give a large amount of thanks to Glenn R. Howes for providing source code to his Debugger Strip module. He also was kind enough to show me how to read the catalog information compiled by CD Remote to read the names of CD tracks.
Next stop, I'm working on an app to help test Control Strip modules without restarting all the time. (wish me luck).
In the meantime, I hope that this source helps out anyone trying to write a module.
