How can I use a COM object that does not have a type library?

Hello,
I've created a com server in python for which I do not have a type library. I am able to call functions for this application in Python, TCL, I'm sure VB, etc. without the type library.
Must I have a type library registered to use this COM object with Labview? I was hoping I could simply supply the name to the refnum (or the GUID) then call functions by passings strings to the invoke node. This does not seem to be possible - am I missing something?
In the event that I cannot use a com server without a type library. Any recommendataions on how to create one? I'm wondering if I can use the same GUID and create a shell in LabWindows which generates the IDL/TBD file I need for Labview to see my
com server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
73,
Timothy

Yes that is true. LabVIEW needs that to configure the Property and
Methode Nodes correctly. Otherwise it would need to have a special
Property and Method Node with a configuration dialog similar to the Call
Library Node, but a LOT more complicated. Not sure many people could
make use of that, and it would be a very tiring experience trying to get
things setup in that way, by going through the edit, test, and crash
cycle over and over again.

  • How can I use airplay if my receiver does not have the small audio jack?

    I have a harmon kardon receiver for surround sound, but it does not have the small audio input jack to hook to my small apple airplay.  Any ideas?  should I just us the LAN plug from my receiver to airplay and try to connect itunes to it?
    Or, can I just attach an old ipod to the stereo and leave it there as a hard drive for my itunes?
    Thanks!

    You will need a cable similar to the link below.
    Mini Jack on one end and a pair of RCA jacks on the other.

    These can be purchased at Wal-Mart etc. for about $6
    If you have an Apple Airport Express, that is what you need.

  • I am at a computer that does not have my music library.  I have a CD that I want to add to my iphone.  The only music on this compi=uter is the new CD I just bought.  Everything I do seems to suggests that my entire iphone library will be replaced

    Hi istillFrustrated,
    If you try to sync your device to a new computer that does not have your iTunes Library on it, then it will erase everything on your device and sync whatever is in the iTunes Library on the Computer you are syncing with.
    You need to transfer your iTunes Library to the new computer, or you need to burn the CD to the iTunes Library on the computer you normally sync with.
    Cheers,

  • Using a dll function that does not have any inputs from a VI

    Hello all, I'm very new to Labview, I have wraped a dll library using the LVlib wizard and now I am trying to use it in a project.  I have a function that does not take any inputs or return any thing except that a struct is populated with some status information as part of the call.  I am able to draw a StartInterface VI because my void startInterface(const char* configFile, struct status_struct* status) takes the location of a configutation file as an input. But I can not figure out how to connect my Call Library Node to my a function vi that does not have any inputs ( void shutdownInterface(struct status_struct* status)). 
    Note that the status struct is deffined to be only and out put at the creation of the LVLIB.
    Thanks, Mike

    Thanks for the responses guys:
       I think I am aware of the conotations of inputs and outputs when I created the lvlib I specified the argument  struct status_struct* status as only an output instead of the default of input and output.
    I do not think that I am doing anything as complex as function callbacks. My immediate goal is to have an executable (I have application builder) with two buttons and two three text fields one text field for the input of the config file, two text-fields for a cstring that is contained in the status struct; one button to start the interface and one button to stop the interface. 
    This is in all likely hood a case of my self being too dense and missing something fundimental ;-)  I just can't figure out how to wire the shut down method after I've configured the call library node. See the attached pictures:

  • I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

    Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately,  It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

    What kind of computer?
    On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
    But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.

  • How do I redeem an iTunes code that does not have a box around it?

    If you can't redeem your iTunes Gift Card or code - Apple Support
    Contact iTunes Store Support
    If the code is completely scratched off or you still can't redeem your gift card, contact iTunes Support:
    Go to the iTunes Store support page and choose your country.
    From the menu on the left, choose Contact Support.
    Click Contact iTunes Store Support.
    Follow the instructions.
    iTunes Store Support might ask you to send these things:
    Image of the full front and back of your gift card

  • How Can I delete all the tracks that are not in my Itunes Library?

    I am runnig out of disk space and i just want to have more space. My files are located everywhere on my mac and I saw that I have a lot of songs that are in my itunes music folder and the same are in an other folder. I want to keep everything that is in Itunes and delete the rest out of my mac!
    Thanks

    You can select some files in iTunes then right click consolidate.
    Then delete the original files not in the iTunes media folder.
    This way you don't have to do it all at once.
    Note that when you add files to iTunes, they are copied into the iTunes media folder so anything you added in the past is already in the iTunes media folder. Consolidating wont do anything to those. Likely all you need to do is delete the original.

  • How can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?

    I use TopLink today, and I can use one table to query, but how can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?
    Thank you for see and answer this question.

    You can write a custom SQL query and map it to an object as needed. You can also use the Toplink query language "anyOf" or "get" commands to map two tables as long as you map them as one to one (get command) or one to many (anyOf command) in the toplink mapping workbench.

  • HT4623 I have an Iphone 3 that does not have the software updates how can I update it?

    I have an IPhone 3 that does not have the software updates in my settings how can I update it cause I can not download any apps or games?

    The 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1, but if the phone isn't there yet, see below.
    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.
