      m_spel.Project =         
   "c:\\EpsonRC80\\projects\\API_Demos\\Demo1\\demo1.sprj";

      RCAPINet.Spel.EventReceivedEventHandler(m_spel_EventReceived);

KEY POINTS

---

When your application exits, you need to execute Dispose for each Spel class instance. This can be done in your main form's FormClosed event. If Dispose is not executed, the application will not shutdown properly.

m_spel.Dispose();
