Can I call a function from a dll in LabVIEW that returns:double*string and int.?

I have a function from a dll that return a double* string and an integer. How can I call this function from LabVIEW? There is a possibility to work in LabVIEW with a double* string?

Two difficulties I can see with this.
First the application seems to allocate the array of references
internally and return a pointer to that array. In that case there must
be another function which then deallocates that array again.
Then you would need to setup the function call to have a pointer to an
int32 number for the deviceList parameter and another pointer to int32
one for the plItems parameter.
Then create another function in your DLL similar to this:
HRESULT WRAPIEnumExtractDevice(WRAPI_NDIS_DEVICE *lpDeviceList, long i,
CHAR lpszDeviceName, LONG lenDeviceName,
CHAR lpszDeviceDesc, LONG lenDeviceDesc)
if (!lpDeviceList)
return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER;
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceName, -1,
lpszDeviceName, lenDeviceName,
NULL, NULL);
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceDescription, -1,
lpszDeviceDesc, lenDeviceDesc,
NULL, NULL);
return NO_ERROR;
Pass the int32 you got from the first parameter of the previous call as
a simple int32 passed by value to this function (and make sure you don't
call this function with a higher index than (plItems - 1) returned from
the first function.

Calling a function from a dll written by using visual studio c++

Hi, how can i call a function from a dll which is written by visual studio c++ in test stand? Although the functions in dll are exported and i've chosen c/c++ adapter, i saw no function in test stand. Is there a different step while i'm calling a function from a dll written by c++ than calling a function from a dll written by cvi?

Hey Sadik,
Selecting the C/C++ DLL Adapter Module should be sufficient for this. When you drag an action step for this onto the Main Step and navigate to the location of the DLL, the function list should populate and you should be able to select the function you want to use. If this is not the case, would you be able to post this DLL so that we can test this on our end?

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.
Antonio

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.

Call multiple functions from same dll with call library function

hi,
i am working on a project in wich we need to make a UI to read out a sensor network.
the UI should be usable in any project, but every node needs a different piece of code depending on the type of sensor with wich it is equipt.
so i need to be able to call different pieces of code when i need them, and still be able to use the UI in future projects with possibly new types of node we now don't have.
so someone told me to use DLL's, cause then i would be able to call the code i need the moment i need it.
but i have never worked with DLL's (just learned about this option 3 day's ago) so i have a question.
i know i can dynamicly change the DLL i call with the call library function, but can i dynamicly change the function i call from that DLL ?
or do i have to put a new call library function for each function i want to call, even if its from the same DLL ?
kind regards,
stijn

but now i started wondering, the path on the call library function is not ment to dynamicly change a DLL

Thepath on the Call Library Node can be used to load a different DLL. Obviously since you can't change the function name your other DLL would have to export exactly the same function name and of course with the same parameters. This is seldom the case so it is not the main use of the path input to the Call Library Node. It's main use is as indicated to load DLLs at runtime rather than at load time of a VI. So that an application can run even when the DLL is missing, until the moment the functionality from that DLL is needed.
If you can make sure that all your DLLs export the same function name with the same parameter you can use the Call Library Node to call into different DLLs through the path input. If however you would need to call different function names you would have to resolve to some DLL which does do the dispatching and invocation using LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress(). But unless you need to go with DLLs for some reason using the Call By Reference Node can give you an even more flexible approach.

Application with a vi calling a function from kernel32.dll

I have a Labview application which runs very well.
I had add a vi using the functio GetSystemTime from the dll kernel32.dll. The vi calling the API function runs well. Then I tried to buil the application and it does'nt run anymore . A dialog box is opened : "access to a forbidden space memory. I don't understand.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you for your response.

I have made at test with this function but it runs on my system.
I have used LV 6.0.2 to LV 7.0 on a Win XP Prof. You can compare your solution with mine.
The VI will run once when the application is called. You will see current time.

HTML/javascript interaction with swf content - can I call swf functions from JS?

Hi,
I've created an AIR application where the
intialWindow.content is a HTML page / JavaScript application. On
this HTML page I want to include some SWF content as a plugin (a
Flex 3 app), so I have an object tag.
From my SWF I can call out to JavaScript using
flash.external.ExternalInterface fine. I can also call methods
within the AIR and Flex APIs via the window or runtime objects.
However, if I try to call methods within my SWF from
JavaScript, nothing happens. Further, I can pass a function
reference from my SWF to JavaScript (via ExternalInterface), and
while I can see a valid function reference in JavaScript, calling
it doesn't call the function within the SWF.
Is this not supported? Or is this something else, like an
applicationDomain issue? My SWF object is loaded via the app:/ uri,
so I didn't think it would be that.

I hadn't tried that, and it does work. Thank you. Everyone
should note though that the documentation here
Flex
3 - External Interface
and
Flash
9 - ExternalInterface.html
says:
"Note: Adobe AIR currently does not support the
ExternalInterface class."
which by my reading means that none of this should work,
although it clearly does.
The page
Example:
Using the external API with a web page container was most
helpful in finding the solution, since it mentions referencing the
object id of the plugin (e.g.
window['my-object-id'].functionToCall()) when referencing the
callback function.
This
page has a more concise example.

How can we call actionscript functions from js

hi
how can we call Action script function from js file . i
tried ExternalInterface. add Callback() .but it throws an error .is
there any other chance to call action script method .thnx in
advance

angadala,
some people have found it is good to include the full
qualification path, ie
if (flash.external.ExternalInterface.available)
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("ext_method_name",int_method_name);
} // if (flash.external.ExternalInterface.available)
There are also browser differences which affect how you find
the Flex application object which are documented at

Can I call a "function" from a servlet?

A few of my servlets need to perform about the same computations (have large sections of identical code).
It would save some disk space to be able to call a procedure from different servlets.
Can this be done? How?
Thank you all.

Since Java is an object oriented programming language, you should use it's concepts to implement a 'basic' class and than extend it. This means: Create a class that contains the basic procedures (you will never create an instance of this class) and then create all the serlvet classes by extending the 'mother' class. Like this you have the common code once in the 'mother' class and the specific code in the specific servlets.

Calling oracle function from Access passthrough query does not return list

Thanks to the help I received in an earlier post I've created an oracle 10g function that returns a list after executing the sql it contains. It works in oracle, using sql developer.
I need to have the list that it returns show up in MS Access via a passthrough query. It's not working so far. The connection string etc is ok, I'm able to use passthrough queries to run sql strings successfully. But when I try to call the function via the Access passthrough query at first nothing seems to happen (ie no list appears) and if I try to run it again, there is a odbc error 'call in progress. Current operation canceled'. There are only the three records in the table. I'm missing something, can anyone spot it?
The passthrough query looks like this
select * from fn_testvalues from dual
Again that runs in oracle.
To create the testing table and 2 functions see below.
CREATE TABLE t_values (MyValue varchar2(10));
Table created
INSERT INTO t_values (
SELECT 'Merced' c1 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Pixie' FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '452' FROM dual);
3 rows inserted
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_isnum(p_val VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
n_val NUMBER;
BEGIN
n_val := to_number(p_val);
RETURN 1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RETURN 0;
END;
Function created
testing the table:
SELECT val, fn_isnum(MyValue ) isnum
FROM t_values;
VAL ISNUM
Merced 0
Pixie 0
452 1
Now the function that is called in the passthrough query:
create or replace function fn_testvalues
return sys_refcursor is
rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open rc for
Select t_values.*, fn_isnum(MyValue) IsNum from t_values;
return(rc);
end fn_testvalues;

You could fetch data in Access from an Oracle function that returns a ref cursor using VBA editor. To use a pass-through query Oracle function should be a table function or pipelined table function:

    BEGIN
        FOR v_rec IN testvalues_cur LOOP
          PIPE ROW(v_rec.testvalues_obj);
        END LOOP;
        RETURN;
END;

SELECT *

How can i call my function from a procedure?

--return ret;
return NULL;
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Exception:'||sqlerrm);
End;
I want to call it from a procedure!
Please help!
Nicole

if the function is in the same package as the procedure then merely specify the function name and parameters:
retcode := functionname(param1..paramn);
If in another package then:
retcode := packagename.functionname(param1..paramn);
If the function is in another schema then you need to grant execute rights to the package/function to the schema trying to run the function:
grant execute on packagename/functionname to otherschema;
you need to be the package/function schema owner to do the above grant.

Can LabVIEW call a function from a .sys file or is LabVIEW limited to dll access?

My vendor has sent me a .sys file with functions accessing their hardware. Can i call these function from labview directly or do I have to wrapper the .sys with a dll?

Well a sys file is a kernel device driver. LabVIEW does not have any direct way of accessing such a driver. The way kernel drivers are accessed is usually through a DLL which makes calls to WinAPI functions such as CreateFile(), ReadFile(), WriteFile(), CloseHandle() and DeviceIORequest(). Since these WinAPI calls are basically just DLL calls too, you could theoretically use the Call Library Node to call them and access the kernel device driver in such a way.
However for any kernel device driver with more than one or two device driver calls, it will certainly be easier in terms of development, debugging and maintenance of the code, to write actually a dedicated DLL in C/C++ for this device driver and access that DLL from LabVIEW, especially if you consider the LabVIEW datatype limitations when designing the DLL interface (Basically this same DLL can then be called from any other Windows development environment, be it Visual Basic (similar datatype limitation as LabVIEW), Delphi, (Visual) C, LabVIEW or also various scripting environments like Python and Lua.
Some of the necessary WindAPI calls are rather involved and pose quite a bit of trouble to get the parameter data right in LabVIEw.

Calling a native function from a dll

Hi all,
I want to call an api function exported from a dll using java. For example l like to call a function from kernel.dll (Windows). How can i do this. Do i have to create another dll for this?

hi,
you need to use JNI
you have to create de DLL , and call kernel32.dll in.
