How to create a dll in LabVIEW with a 2D array

I'm attempting to create a dll in LabVIEW with the following parameters from Test DLL.vi:
Inputs:
IN1 - Word
Buffer - 2D array of Unsigned Byte
Output:
OUT1 - Unsigned Byte
The prototype is constructed as follows in the Build Specifications of the Project:
uint8_t TestDLL(int16_t IN1, TD1Hdl *Buffer)
The dll builds successfully but when I attempt to use it in another VI (using the Call Library Function block) the prototype appears but it does not look like what was defined from the Build Specifications. Instead it looks like the following:
void TestDll(void );
I attached some screen shots of all the settings as described above.

The Test DLL.vi is what I used to create dll prototype with in the Build Specifications in the project.
Note: There is no logic implemented yet.

Can I create a dll from labview with more that one function name

I know that when I create a dll from C and then call it in labview using the call library function node I can see the different functions on the configuration screen. Is there a way to create a dll in labview to have more than one function name? No matter how many functions happen in my VI it seems to build into a dll under the same function name requiring inputs for every function, can this be avoided somehow?
Thanks,
Dave

Each function corresponds to a separate VI. When creating the dll, on the Source Files tab of the app builder, click the Add Exported VI for each VI that you want. SubVIs of a main are not automatically exported and will not be available as separate function calls.

How to create a DLL for LabVIEW in MatLab

I want to use MatLab-Code from an M-file in LabView without MatLab. So i decide to use external code in a DLL. Can anybody give me some hints - how to do? (How to create, how to use?)
Used System Windows 98, LabVIEW 6.1, MatLab 6.1 R12.1
Thanks

Hi,
I use Matlab-Code in Labview and it's don't need create a dll. The LV was a tool, matlab script, you can write your code Matlab here. see the examples of LV.I think the lV 6.1 have.
Dll it's very complicated

Creating a DLL in labview that interacts with a DLL in C++

I’m creating a DLL in LabView that will interact with a DLL created in C++. I don’t have control in the C++ DLL.
Both DLLs would pass a big amount of data as strings between them, for that it is necessary to allocate memory to store information in one dll and read it in the other and viceversa. The first time I will call the other DLL, with this function :
long in texts ( unsigned char *name, void *id)
I would pass them a pointer pointer to an ASCII string (name) and a pointer to an unspecific data structure (id). The id would then be passed to me by his DLL whenever they use one of the functions implemented on my dll.
What I don’t know is what to pass as a void*id? What are they expecting? A number? A cluster?
The other thing I don’t know is how to allocate memory in labview and write there information, such as a string, and then tell the other DLL to look for the information at that DLL, and viceversa. I hope I made my self clear, hope somebody can help me, and please indicate me if you need more information

Hello Osvaldo,
I analysed the updated tutorial you sent me, but the thing is that it doen't show how to create the DLL in LV 8.6 but only show how to accessing the DLL from VB6. My problem is really HOW TO CREATE THE DLL IN LV8.6. In the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3063 there is detailed information about how to do this in LV6.x, the problem is that I don't find the path Tools»Build Application or Shared Library (DLL) in LV8.6, I think the procedure in LV8.6 is a little bit different. Don´t you have an updated tutorial on how to build a dll in LV8.6?How could you help me?

Hi sinaps,
You mention that you want to create a DLL from a .C file. Just to clarify, are you using C (.c file) or C++ (.cpp) to write your code?
Also, if you are using C++, are you using Visual Studio? (The reason I ask is because this forum is geared towards Measurement Studio, which is an add on to Microsoft Visual Studio).
That being said,
If you are using C: National Instruments provides an ANSI C Application Development Environment called LabWindows/CVI which makes building dlls a snap. It has templates for DLLs and you can build them either as stdcall or cdecl dlls.
Developer Zone Tutorial: Building a DLL with LabWindows/CVI 8.5 for use with LabVIEW 8.5
If you are using Visual C++: Look at the link that Al provided earlier.
MSDN: Walkthrough: Creating and Using a Dynamic Link Library
If you aren't using CVI or Visual Studio, then really the best bet is to do a google search for "Create C DLL" or post or a forum for the appropriate environment that you are using.
Thanks!

Creating a DLL in LabVIEW containing a function using pointer to pointer

Hi!
I´m facing the problem to create a DLL from LabVIEW containing the following C-function:
functionF(structS** arrayA) ,
where:
structS is a struct of various data-types (e.g. int)
arrayA is an C-array of structS
How can this be done? Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your support

This cannot be done in LabVIEW. LV doesn't have the data type "Pointer" as C has.
The only workaround I can think of is to use an array of strings in LV and in the interface define the parameter as "by reference". In LV you have to typecast the wire with the string to a cluster withthe layout of structS.
As far as I know an array of strings is represented as an array of pointer to strings. This is because strings are variable in length and therefore LV uses this method storing the pointers to the strings in the array and not the elements as usual.
You have to read the document about memory and data types of LabVIEW. In elder versions this was in the LabVIEW Bookshelf but I haven't found it in short in the newer version.

Creating a DLL in Labview 8.6 and calling it from Visual Basic 6.0

Dear friends,
I need to create a DLL in Labview 8.6 and call it from Visual Basic 6.0. The system works as follows:
I made an application using Labview 8.6 + Vision Assistant 8.6 where I can obtain the x,y coordinates of a template in an certain image being captured by an USB camera. The template coordinates change every time it moves and Visual Basic 6.0 must read these x,y values in real time. I found some information in the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3925, but it works for version 6.x of Labview and 8.6 version is different. Am I in the right path? If you have an updated tutorial like the one in the link above but for Labview 8.6 It would be very nice. Please help me.
Kind regards.

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE

Hello,
I try implement the scenario described in "How to Create an Input Schedule Comparison with Data Using EVDRE".
Once I am using the "Insert Function" from the panel and selecting the EVTIM function Excel crashes (see page 8 How to paper).
Systems:
BPC 7.0 NW SP02
Office 2007
BPCADminClient and BPCOfficeClient up to date
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks
Oktay

Hi Oktay -
This function works in my BPC70NW SP02 system. Your issue might be that you are trying to access a TIME member that does not exist. Please make sure the offset value is a valid dimension member.
I can confirm that EVTIM does allow the offset for base members (such as 2009.MAY) as well as parent nodes (such as 2009.Q1 or 2008.TOTAL)... BUT...the offset result of the EVTIM function needs to be a valid dimension member!

Sheldon

How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

What I would like to achieve:
A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
What I do:
CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
Dim Results As DataTable
DataTable is filled from a database
CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
What are the problems
The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

How to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

one another question
In msp how to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

Hi Shiv PMC--
I splitted your question above in another thread in order not to have a huge thread with many topics in it.
That being said, I'm not sure to understand. A view is just a manner to display MS Project data with columns. A view can have a table with column (left part) associated with a Gantt chart. It can also just contain a table with no Gantt chart (like the task
table) or a table with a timephased grid (resource and task usage).
Please give us more information, maybe with a concrete example so we can help you.
Hope this helps,

How to create labeled table of Content with expand and collapse

Hi All,
Can somebody help me how to create labeled table of Content with expand and collapse as example given below:
User1
Template1
Template2
User2

User3
Template1
Template2
Like when we see expand (+) and collapse (-) button when we click on 'about this page' link.
Thanks
Bhupendra

Hi,
Tou can use Table inside table to show the details this way but I'm not sure about Expand/Collapse.
Expand/Collapse are part of HGRID.
I think we can develop this functionality with little manipulation.
