Yes, my group does alot of VAPS and Performer
applications. What we have done is isolate the
VAPS and performer into completely seperate
isolated processes that communicate. So, even
though VAPs and Performer share the same screen
space and work together, they are not intertwined.

The reason (in the major simplified form) is that both VAPs
and Performer are "frameworks" and it is difficult to make one a
slave of the other. From our last discussions with
the VPI people, it is possible, but people who were
trying to do this had many problems getting their
applications to work. They may have addressed this problem
in VAPs 3.2, but we have not looked into it further.

Has anyone used a product called VAPS from Virtual Prototypes Inc. located in
Canada? If so, can it be combined with or called from Performer. I
currently use both VAPS and Performer and see many uses for applications
which could call VAPS from the Performer draw process.
