Calling a DLL(with vi.lib) from a lvclass within a Packed library

Basically, I am having problem calling a DLL (which uses the vi.lib) from a packed library.
The error code I got is error code 1003. “Error 1003 occurred at Call Library Function Node in XXXXX.lvlibp”, “Labview: The VI is not excutable. Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located. Select File>>Open to open the VI and then verify that you are able to run it. Create Summary Log.vi”
The VI that was mentioned above (Create Summary Log.vi) is one of the functions in the DLL that I am trying to call from the packed library. This VI modifies an Excel spreadsheet so it needs the vi.lib. In my DLL project, vi.lib is in my dependencies. When I compile my DLL, Labview will create four folders (NI_Excel, NI_HTML, NI_report, NI_Standard Report) at the build destination.
To problem happens when I run a Top level VI, which calls-> the lvlibp -> lvclass (within the packed library) -> DLL (uses the vi.lib Excel functions).
This problem doesn’t happen when I am not running the packed library (Only with the lvclass). So I think the problem is that DLL can’t access or find the vi.lib when it’s being called by the packed library. It seems like the packed library changes the way the DLL access the vi.lib.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I think I might have provided wrong information. I thought the problem didn’t exist when I wasn’t running the packed library, but the truth is, the problem always exist regardless.
I would get an “error 7” when I created a simple VI that would utilize “Call Library Function Node” to call the DLL.
Error 7 occurred at Get LV Class Default Value.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.
=========================
NI-488: Nonexistent GPIB interface.
Complete call chain:
     Get LV Class Default Value.vi
     NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi
     Create Summary Log.vi
     Create Summary Log.vi.ProxyCaller
LabVIEW attempted to load the class at this path:
C:\XXX\XXX.dll\Excel\NI_Excel.lvclass
So the problem is, I don’t know how to include the NI_Excel.lvclass in my DLL. I didn’t have this problem back in 8.2, as I would just include a VI (with the excel VIs in the block diagram) in the project when I build it. This doesn’t work anymore as I am using 2011.

Error in Calling a dll built in labview from Matlab standalone

hello,
The problem I encountered is in the use of the math interface toolkit. I
created a dll which performs data fitting using a labview vi which i converted into a dll using the
math interface toolkit.
This dll is then called from a standalone matlab program. It works fine in the computer where I
create the matlab standalone program and labview dll. Howerver when i export to another
computer the matlab part runs fine but an error is reported when it tries to
call the labview created dll.
"One or more output arguments not assigned during call Parfit.dll"
The files related to this problem in the math interface toolkit (the labview vi, the corresponding dll and the matlab .m and .fig files and the standalone exe are in the attachment and named MathITproblem.zip
The matlab run time engine(for matlab 7) and labview runtime engine(ver 7.1) must be installed for this matlab file to run. the run time engines are downloadable from the web.
Does any one know the source of this error or encountered it before?
thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Just another note, I noticed that the Math Interface Toolkit version (MIT) 1.0 is not compatible with LabVIEW 7.1. You’ll need version 1.0.1. of the MIT toolkit in order for it to work with LabVIEW 7.1.
The LabVIEW 7.0 lvanlys.dll is also attached. I had to rename it with a .txt extension, so you’ll want to delete the extension.

Call a dll with an activeX component gives error

Hello all,
My program consist of:
- Main program
- DLL's
How it works:
The main program is the interface for the user, this main program call's several dll's
The problem:
The main program runs withought problems, but when it call's a dll, which also call's an activeX component, I get an error.
I then made a executable from the dll which then works ok, no problem.
When I click the retry it runs ok, but when I call it again I get the message again.
The message does allways accur, but still very often
Conclusion:
The error message only comes when I call it as a dll, when the dll is standalone executable no problems occur.
Below you can see how I call the dll:
Can someone please help me with this problem?
greetz,
Bart

Hello Bas,
I have included the vi which calls de dll(executedll.vi) en the dll in VI form(plugin.vi & plugin.lvproj).
As you can see the dll calls the canconfigurator activex component.
And closes the activex component when done.
This plugin will be called several times in the test enviroment.

Thank you so much...
but will I be able to call from a controller as we call a view...similar to the below code.
lref_first_view = create_view( view_name = 'first.htm' ).
lref_first_view->set_attribute( name = 'MODEL' value = mref_model_first ).
call_view( lref_first_view ).
I have already set the visibleRowCount....but my issue is to navigate to the next records i.e say 2nd page 3rd page..........

Can I call an object with synchronized methods from an EJB

I have a need for multiple threads (e.g. Message Driven Beans) to access a shared object, lets say a singleton, I'm aware of the "you can't have a singleton in the EJB world" issues) for read/write operations, so the operations will need to be synchronised.
I've seen various statements such as you can't use read/write static fields in EJBs and you can't use synchronisation primitives in EJBs but I've also seen statements that say its okay to access utility classes such as Vector (which has synchronised methods) from an EJB.
Does anyone know if there is a definitive answer on this? What are the implications of accessing a shared object with synchronised methods from multiple EJBs? Is it just that the EJB's thread may block which limits the ability of the container to manage the EJBs? In the Vector example above (from Professional Java Server Programming) did they mean its okay to use these utility classes provided they aren't shared across threads?
If I can't use a plain old Java Object does anyone know if there are other potential solutions for sharing objects across EJBs?
In my problem, I have an operation that I want to run in a multi-threaded way. Each thread will add information to the shared object, and this info may be used by the other threads. There's no lengthy blocking as such other than the fact that only one thread can be adding/reading information from the shared object at a time.
I've trawled through this forum looking for similar questions of which there seem to be many, but there doesn't seem to be any definitive answers (sorry if there was and I missed it).
Thanks
Martin

You can share objects among EJB's or among objects used by one or more EJB's. You can use synchronization primitives - nothing will prevent you from doing that.
After all, the container classes, JVM-provides classes, JDBC, JCA, JNDI and other such classes do all of this with impunity. You can too. You can use file and socket I/O as well, presuming you configure the security profile to allow it. Should you? Well it depends on what you need to accomplish and if there is another practical alternative.
Yes the specification warns you not to, but you cannot be responsible for the interior hidden implementation of classes provided to you by the JVM or third parties so you can never truly know if your are breaking these written rules.
But when you do these things, you are taking over some part of the role of the container. For short running methods that only block while another thread is using the method or code block and no I/O or use of other potentially blocking operations are contained in the method/block, you will be fine. If you don't watch out and create deadlocks, you will harm the container and its managed thread pool.
You should not define EJB methods as synchronized.
Also, if you share objects between EJB's, you need to realize that the container is free to isolate pools of your EJB in separate classloaders or JVM's. It's behavior can be influenced by your packaging choices (use of .ear, multiple separate .jar's, etc.) and the configuration of the server esp. use of clustering. This will cause duplicate sets of shared classes - so singletons will not necessarily be singleton across the entire server/cluster, but no single EJB instance will see more than one of them. You design needs to be tolerant of that fact in order to work correctly.
This isn't the definitive answer you asked for - I'll leave that to the language/spec lawyers out there. But in my experience I have run across a number of occasions where I had to go outside of the written rules and ave yet to be burned for it.

Can I call a dll with a C++ Class Cstring variable?

So,
we bought an optiphase interferometer, and it comes with a dll and with LabVIEW example code.
However, there is a big problem!
The dll is a C++ dll and requires the C++ Cstring class!
for example I can't get the function Boolean LoadDemodulatorDSPCore(Cstring arg1, U8Bit arg2) to work.
They did provide a GetDllVersionchar(Cstr arg1, long arg2) which does work, (offcourse, it uses a standard C string pointer)
but GetDllVersion(Cstring arg1) does not work. (offcourse not, it using the Cstring class)
Is there a way to get CString classes to work in LabVIEW? (with a struct, or an binary array or whatever?)
Or do I have to write a wrapper dll to convert CString classes to standard C string pointers?
Thanks.

I'm afraid this won't really be
possible without a wrapper DLL. A CString is more like an object with
internal pointers and last time I checked into a DLL with a
disassembler it seemed that the actual layout of the internal structure
depends on the size of the string that is contained, with small strings
being entirely embedded and larger strings being a pointer to the
string. Trying to figure out these difficulties is something you should
leave to compiler developers and not try to do yourself.
One way that might be possible is to actually only create three or four
C functions that are exported by a helper DLL. These functions would
allocate a CString, copy a CStr into it and out of it and one to
deallocate it. As far as LabVIEW is concerned you would treat the
CString simply as a uInt32.

How to call a dll with special parameters in Labview?

Hi,
I have a dll file (compiled in C++) and I would like to call the individual functions from this dll file.
I do not know however, how I must correctly define the initial parameters in LabView.
That is the function, which I would like to call:
DWORD OpenDiagDriver ( char* port,
LPCSTR path,
CANObjects CANObj[],
WORD BitTiming = 0x4167);
CANObjects CANObj[] is a pointer to array with CAN configuration data
typedef struct
DWORD Ident;
BYTE Config;
}CANObjects;
CANObj[0].Ident= 0x18DA0000;
CANObj[0].Config= 0x8C;
CANObj[1].Ident= 0x18DA0000;
CANObj[1].Config= 0x84;
WORD BitTiming= 0x4167;
I made a vi, but it doesn’t work.

Hard to say without the full C source. Are you building the DLL according to the CIN rules (see Using External Code in LabVIEW)? Mapping clusters to C code in DLLs is not a simply process and we generally recommend to create wrappers. However, since your structures are fairly straightforward, you could use the "Adapt to Type" as you are trying to do.
I recommend checking out the mentioned manual and also the examples in \examples\dll\data passing\Call Native Code.llb and the associated C files.

How to call a DLL with a char or a uint8_t

Good afternoon,
I need to pass an array (image) to my dll.
I was able to successfully do this using
imageProcess(int **a, ... ){;}
function declaration and using a signed or unsigned 32 bit integer as data type in labview DLL call
However, when I changed my function to either
imageProcess(char **a, ... ){;} or
imageProcess(uint8_t **a, ... ){;}
And when I set the Labview Dll Call data type to unsigned 8 bit integer
I get a Broken Arrow
With error: The function name specified for this node cannot be found in the library. Right-click the Call Library Function node and select Configure, then choose the correct function name.
I am also using IMAQ ImageToArray to obtain my array and using the ImagePixels(U8) output
Thank you,

Another possibility to make functions be unmangled is declaring them as extern "C" like this:
for a single function.
#define LibFunction __declspec(dllexport)
extern "C" MgErr LibFunction MyFunction(uInt8 *);
or:
#define LibFunction __declspec(dllexport)
#if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(__cplusplus__)
extern "C" {
#endif
LibFunction MgErr MyFunction1(void);
LibFunction MgErr MyFunction2(uInt32);
#if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(__cplusplus__)
#endif
for multiple function prototypes.
This will tell the compiler to not mangle the names if it is invoked on a cpp file. And the LibFunction declaration is to declare the function as exported to the compiler, saving you to have to provide a DEF file for that purpuse. Remember that other compilers and platforms might and often do use a different syntax for the export declaration.
And alternative could be:
#define LibFunction(retval) extern "C" retval __declspec(dllexport)
LibFunction(MgErr) MyFunction(uInt8 *);
Also before claiming that there is a huge bug in LabVIEW that needs fixing you should make sure that you understand all in and outs of your C compiler toolchain. Something I wouldn't dare to claim to do!

Calling a DLL with a & (ampersand) in the declaration

Hi,
I'm trying to call an external DLL and having issues calling an important function. The 'FindDevices' call has the following declaration:
long FindDevices(long &DeviceCount);
I've never come across calling an external function with an ampersand (indicating that a reference, rather than a pointer, shall be passed) before. Is this possible with LabView?
I've tried many permutations of the DLL configuration, but it usually crashes the entire development environment. Here is a link to the DLL and *.h file if you'd like to give it a shot. It's a 64-bit DLL, and I've been developing this on 64-bit Labview and Windows 7 x64. It also requires the configuration file 'ZStepperSettings.xml' to be in the same directory as the DLL.
Thanks for your time.

For scalars the C++ reference syntax should be equal to a standard C pointer. For other datatypes that is certainly not guaranteed. Since long is a scalar I would guess the problem to be elsewhere. Are you sure the calling convention is correct?
Also the effect that it only causes the 1097 error sometimes, as well as crashing only sometimes is not so strange. There is no supervisor that can 100% surely detect if there is some memory violation during a call to an external function. Eventhough the parameter configuration is wrong or the DLL does something bad, this doesn't always result in a behaviour that LabVIEW could detect or would always cause a crash. It depends on the actual memory layout of your process at the moment this function is called if the error will be causing one of these problems. But be assured that if there is an error in how the function is configured or a bug in the function about how it access the memory especially for writing operation, something bad is done to the memory that will sooner or later cause very serious problems to your application.
EDIT: It seems that while C++references for scalar types are usually implemented as pointers by the compiler, there is nothing in the C++ standard that mandates this nor defines in any way how they should be implemented. So basically C++ references are not a safe datatype to use if you want to allow a function to be callable by anything else than code compiled with the same C++ compiler. Basically anything C++ specific is not safe at all in that sense. And anything standard C conformant mostly only by convention and not by specific requirements set forth in the C standard.

Call a DLL with Java

Hi,
I have a C ANSI DLL which communicates with a JAVA applet. I use JNI.
But this isn't the best solution :
the host which is running the applet (Internet Explorer) must have the DLL in local and a .java.policy file in order to run the applet.
Is there another technology which can avoid that problem ? Using no .java.policy and dll file on the host, ie put the DLL only on the server ?
Thanks for your suggestions.

You could certainly have your applet make calls back to the server and have the server execute the non-secure code in the DLL. This, of course, assumes that you don't actually need to run the DLL on the client itself.
For the case where you just need to make a couple of calls into the DLL, you could implement your own socket communication. For anything more complicated, I'd recommend that you look into RMI.
Note that it'll be a lot slower doing your DLL calls across the wire, so in this situation, you want to do as much processing on either end of the communication channel as possible, and only transfer results back and forth.
