Communicating with DLL's

I have been using a product called pocketbuilder for pocket
PC. I can
Print(bluetooth) / get GPS data / access the camera (WM2003
& 2005).
Does anyone know how to create a GPS DLL that we could call
from flash and
bring the data back to the flash app. Also the same with
printing / camera
etc.
Joint venture anyone????
Cheers
SteveW.

Here is tutorial about connection between Flash Lite and GPS

  • Applet communication with DLL

    Hi,
    Can an applet communicate with Microsoft DLL.
    I want to save the content of an applet to database at server side.
    Problem is there is no java envirnoment at server side (it has dlls).
    What is the best way to do this. The content of the applet has to be savea at sever side not at client.
    Thanx

    deepakshettyk,
    Two options that come to mind are:
    1) have the applet use JDBC to connect to its host server's database directly. Typically this entails having type4 JDBC drivers installed and available.
    2) have the applet itself connect back to its host server's webserver (IIS?), and have a server-side agent (ASP?) record data sent back to a database. See Marty Hall's book, 'Servlets & JSP', from Prentice Hall, for code examples.

  • Long string problem while communicating with DLL

    Hi
    In our project, we encountered problems about passing strings longer than 255 characters while the SAP system communicates with a dll method.
    We do not want to use file operations as the intermediary layer. Is there a way to handle this situation other than a file-related solution?
    Thanks & Regards...

    Hi
    Sorry for answering late. The dll is created via VB. At the ABAP side, a type having length greater than 255 or the string type gives error. This seems to be a restriction of OLE interface?

  • ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner

    Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
    (Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
    About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
    I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
    My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

    I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
    Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
    Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!

    Okay ... checking something else:
    Current user is not an administrator
    Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
    (It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.)

  • USB Communication with Cygnal Kit C8051F320-TB

    Hi i am using Cygnal development kit C8051F320 - TB.
    I want to communicate it with LabVIEW.
    Some members in discussion forum earlier have posted queries regarding communication with LabVIEW to USBExpress development kit from Cygnal.
    My question is, " is it possible to use same DLL (sif32xusb.dll) supplied with USBExpress with this kit ? " .
    If anybody has tried then please send me vi along with firmware.
    Thanking you
    Ishant

    Hello Ishant,
    Based in the excerpt from the USBXpress programming guide, you should be able to:
    "The Silicon Laboratories USBXpress Development Kit provides a complete host and device software solution for
    interfacing Silicon Laboratories C8051F32x microcontrollers to the Universal Serial Bus (USB). No USB protocol or
    host device driver expertise is required. Instead, a simple, high-level Application Program Interface (API) for both
    the host software and device firmware is used to provide complete USB connectivity."
    It looks like aa1982 got it working on this post:
    usb communication with silicon lab c8051f320
    And both are using the C8051F32x series controllers, you may want to get in contact with the owner of that thread to see if he encountered any problems.

    I investigated this a bit further.  SiLabs latest version is version 3.0.3 and if you are using this, LabVIEW may not work properly.  After many failed attempts to get this working, I reverted back to version 2.4.2 which I am able to get working in LabVIEW just fine.  You cannot download older versions directly from their website however.  The primary difference between version 2.4.2 and 3.0.3 is the function prototype.  SI_Write and SI_Read v3.0.3 have an additional OVERLAPPED pointer parameter that you may have to add to the library call.  However, I found this out after I reverted back to 2.4.2 and haven't attempted again to make 3.0.3 work.

  • Cannot initiate communication with Pathlore LMS

    We have a Pathlore Learning Management System that has an
    on-line course based on Authorware. Upon startup of the course, a
    communication link is established between the Authorware material
    and the Pathlore LMS. However, for some of our sites (in Latin
    America) the initialization of communication fails with the
    following error:
    Unable to eVal expression:
    Post URL ("
    http://...address...psciis.dll",PWInternalAICCPData,30)
    Authorware error: -2147216532
    At this point, communication with the Pathlore LMS fails and
    no successful course completion can be recorded. Can anyone suggest
    a possible fix either in our environment or the course material?
    Regards,
    Domenick Lapolla

    A WAG would be that the separator is different, likely a
    semi-colon
    instead of a comma - or something like that. I'd guess the
    eval
    statement is doing something to the path, or the separator
    for the
    argument is unrecognized.
    Can you change the Regional Options so commas are specified
    as the
    default separator? Like perhaps by changing the Location or
    'Standards
    and Formats' to English/United States?
    If that fixes the problem, you found the issue.
    Unfortunately, there's
    likely no way to change that in the Authorware code..?

  • Facing Problem With DLL After creating Installer

    Hi
    I Have Developed to Test The CAN Hardware.
    I am Using third party USB to CAN device (Phytec PCAN)
    To communicate with PCAN device I have Used PCAN_USB.DLL
    I have Tested My Code with the hardware. It Works Fine.
    Then I Have Created EXE and Installer. and Install on the other system (
    LabVIEW is not installed on that system). But it is not communication with the
    Hardware.
    If I run the EXE on the system (where LabVIEW is installed) then EXE is
    communicating with the hardware.
    Please guide me for the same. LabVIEW version - LabVIEW 2009
    Please treats this on urgent Basis

    Hi Prabhakant Patil,
    How are the errors handled in your application ?
    I think this should be the first thing to have a look at. Just add to your VI an error indicator and you'll see what's happenning to your application.

  • Ethernet communication with NI9149

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to create a rugged system by interconnecting several units by means of Ethernet for a measurement and control application. My question is if I can connect NI9149 chassis over the ethernet directly for control and communication with the modules attached to the chasis and application or is required an additional ethernet controller for each unit. The application is created in Measurement Studio. The system diagram is presented in attached file. Thanks.
    Attachments:
    Untitled.png ‏26 KB

    The 9149 gives you direct access to I/O using a technology called shared variables, which should be accessible from measurement studio. Shared variables are a peer-to-peer protocol meaning you just need to connect the 9149 to your network and you should be able to get data.
    However, shared variables are lossy and have a maximum rate -- I've seen something on the order of about 50-100 Hz update rates mentioned in various locations, although performance will be application and network specific. If you need faster performance you will have to use a FIFO (allowing you to stream data) and you will have to program the FPGA using the LabVIEW FPGA module. I believe you should be able to interface with the FPGA but it will require using the LabVIEW FPGA C interface and you must be able to call the dll from measurement studio. There may be an easier mechanism I am unaware of.
    You may also consider ethercat for your application which does require a separate real-time host but is also a faster protocol. A good comparison of options is here: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14151/en/

    sir i am using datasocket read ,i am communicating with java but my problem is that bcz im using while loop to see if value has changed my labview consumes all the processors time ,sir i want a event like thing so that while loop is not in continuous loopHi Sam,
    I want to pass along a couple of tips that will get you more and better response on this list.
    1) There is an un-written rule that says more "stars" is better than just one star. Giving a one star rating will probably eliminate that responder from individuals that are willing to anser your question.
    2) If someone gives you an answer that meets your needs, reply to that answer and say that it worked.
    3) If someone suggests that you look at an example, DO IT! LV comes with a wonderful set of examples that demonstate almost all of the core functionality of LV. Familiarity with all of the LV examples will get you through about 80% of the Certified LabVIEW Developer exam.
    4) If you have a question first search the examples for something tha
    t may help you. If you can not find an example that is exactly what you want, find one that is close and post a question along the lines of "I want to do something similar to example X, how can I modify it to do Y".
    5) Some of the greatest LabVIEW minds offer there services and advice for free on this exchange. If you treat them good, they can get you through almost every challenge that can be encountered in LV.
    6) If English is not your native language, post your question in the language you favor. There is probably someone around that can help. "We're big, we're bad, we're international!"
    Trying to help,
    Welcome to the forum!

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

    I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
    I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
    Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
    I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
    I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
    Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
    Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
    P.S.
    Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
    - My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
    - My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
    - Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
    - I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

    Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
    I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
    The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
    Here is what worked.
    1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
    2. Log in as an Administrator
    3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
    3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
    3.2 Type in "regedit".
    3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
    There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
    3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
    3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
    3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
    3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
    3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
    3.4.5 Hit "OK".
    3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
    3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
    3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
    3.4.8 Hit "OK".
    3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
    3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
    I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
    4. Other keys I deleted:
    4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
    4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
    I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
    5. Exit out of the registry editor.
    6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
    I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
    Hopefully this helps!
    Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

    In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
    However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
    I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
    I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
    Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
    1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
    2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
    3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
    4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
    I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
    I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
    Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
    Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.

    I bet this is too late but...
    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • SOLUTION to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not insta

    Folks, I can not take credit for this.....you should send your checks to MarkinMadison. I've included his post in it's entirety. For me, this was the Holy Grail !!
    My only comment is make sure when you are in the registry that you hit the "apply" button to change and add things.
    This probably won't solve everyone's problem but it clearly solved mine (and I tried all other "solutions"), as well as Mark's.
    Apple: please find out who MarkinMadison is and either cut him a big check or offer him free Ipods for life.
    "Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
    I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
    The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
    Here is what worked.
    1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
    2. Log in as an Administrator
    3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
    3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
    3.2 Type in "regedit".
    3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
    There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
    3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
    3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
    3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
    3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
    3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
    3.4.5 Click the checkbox that says: "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects."
    3.4.5 Hit "OK".
    3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
    3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
    3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
    3.4.8 Hit "OK".
    3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
    3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
    3.7 If you can't delete, you might need to open up the keys and repeat the procedure on the sub-keys.
    4. Exit out of the registry editor.
    5. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
    I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
    Hopefully this helps!
    Apple support people: assuming this works, please add it to your solutions page, and feel free to reimburse me for spending half of Christmas figuring this out.

    I have also posted the same question, earlier today. I purchased two for my children and cannot get the iPod to communicate with the computer. I have the iTunes software on my system, but during the installation process I cannot click the NEXT button, once I plug the iPod cable in. The computer does not detect it. I have tried all 6 USB 2.0 ports. I even removed the Dell Jukebox and MusicMatch programs. I am not a computer savvy person - just a mom who wants to give these to my children for Christmas. This is the first "chat" site I have even registered on. I am so very frustrated. Hopefully, this can be resolved.
