How to Read DLL Function arguments in VC

HI,
I have a CVI dll, "modelsupport2.dll"
i need to access the parameters of one of its function "LoadModelPluginTypesAndConfigurations". Can anyone please suggest me how to read the parameters of the above dll function in VC++.
The function parameters are,
LoadModelPluginTypesAndConfigurations(CAObjHandle engine, int thread, const char *categoryName, const char *configurationName, BOOL loadAddons, BOOL loadPluginTypesFirst, CAObjHandle mergedConfiguration, char* asdd);
where, engine is nothing but Testand Engine.
here, mainly looking for reading the CAObjHandle variables.

The board I use is PCI 6221. I'm afread the multithread cannot work...

You have to use the Java Native Interface to use dlls. The JNI
tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/
walks you through the basics and provides a sample too.
Hope this helps.

Reading DLL function and parameters from a header file

Hallo to everyone,
I am trying to find a cute way

Hello,
I think this is what you were asking in another stream. I don't think there is a way to do that. For examples of passing data to dlls given the naming convention variation across environments, check out the shipping example named Call DLL.vi, which will open other examples of using call library function nodes with a datatype you specify.
I hope this helps, and these suggestions are very welcome at our feedback site - click Contact NI at ni.com, and then the word "feedback" in the lower left corner to submit a product suggestion.

How to read instrument driver dll files

Hello,
How to read .dll files of an instrument driver? What is the programming methodology followed in dll files? I will be grtaeful to you if someone can point me a way to do this.
Thanks,
Ananda H S

If you can get your hands on the driver dll sdk or source code, you can use Tools --> Import --> Shared Library (.dll)... and use the wizard to easily generate the code you need to implement it.

How to read from TDC-ISA card

Hello,
I am having a TDC-ISA card for my experiment. I wish to write a VI in Labview which will read the data from this card. Can anyone guide me which are the ways or functions I can use?
If anybody has another suggestion for my problem!
Regards,
Karan

First, as a note, this question has nothing to do with the "Real-Time" addon module for LabVIEW. Please post future related questions in the general LabVIEW group.
This response is assuming that you have a driver installed on your PC and the TDA-ISA board is installed properly. This of course would be something to take up with the company who makes the board if this is not the case, as you need a driver (typically in the form of a DLL) for the board to be recognized properly and accessable to any external programming language.
Most 3rd party devices have a driver in the form of a DLL. This is true for NI devices as well, however we also write user-friendly LabVIEW VIs that access these DLLs. Some 3rd party vendors may also have LabVIEW VIs available to access
their hardware through their own DLL, but you would have to check with the 3rd party vendor. If there are no existing LabVIEW VIs, you would be using the Call Library Function node in LabVIEW to interface with an existing DLL. Of course, how the driver DLL functions is an issue for the 3rd party vendor. For more information on how to use the Call Library Function node, see:

Bypassing function argument without changing default value

Hi there
I’m having some problems understanding how I can bypass function arguments without changing its default value. Here are some examples:
function myFunction ( arg1:Boolean, arg2:String="default string", arg3:Number=3 ):Array
    return new Array (arg1, arg2, arg3);
trace(myFunction(true, "new string", 5));
// true,new string,5
trace(myFunction(true, undefined, 5));
// true,,5
trace(myFunction(true, null, 5));
// true,,5
trace(myFunction(true));
// true,default string,3
trace(myFunction(true, null));
// true,,3
My question is: Shouldn't I be able to call a function bypass the second argument (that has a default value), change third argument and on result second argument maintains its default value?
Example:
trace(myFunction(true, null, 5));
// not desired: true,,5
// desired: true,default string,5
I know that applying a defult value to the argument allows one to bypass it. But it will always be redefined or to null or to undefined. At the moment I only see one solution.
function myFunction ( arg1:Boolean, arg2:String="default string", arg3:Number=3 ):Array
     if (!arg2)arg2 = "deafult string";
     return new Array (arg1, arg2, arg3);
It just seems like too much code repeated
Regards

Hi dmennenoh,
Yup, this was just an example to show that the use of a default value only helps you to bypass the need to simulate a MouseEvent Object for an onRollOver MouseEvent argument. Other than that you can never bypass it without changing its value. You must always apply a null or undefined value and work with that.
Thanks anyway

Reading a line from a third party software using call dll function.

Hi,
I am using a third party software in Lab VIEW.
I am having trouble using one of the functions defined in the dll.
I have the VI attached here, As u can see in the VI I am not sure how to use the function
LCOM_MasterGetLine in the fourth sequence.....
This has three parameters and they are
(int ID,char*Buffer,int Length)
What basically happens with this function is this...
/* ROUTINE LCOM_MasterGetLine
It Reads line of maximally Length characters from Slave ID into Buffer and the parameters are
* ARGUMENT(S) ID ... Slaves ID
* Buffer ... Where do you want chars (at least Length+1 in size)
*Length ... How many at most (should be less than LCOM_MAXLEN)
Can
any one help me how to define the input parameters for this function, for example in the fourth part of the Vi attached here.
What I understand from the function is that, the third party software when it sends a line, that line is stored in the input parameter...buffer ...that is defined to the dll.
Can any one help me how to then read what line has been sent from the third party software.
I am including the dll file and also the header file here.
Thanks a lot,
Ajit

One problems with your solution:
LCOM_MasterGetLine(int ID,char*Buffer,int Length)
You should allocate a buffer large enough in LabVIEW and pass it to the Call Library Node. The dll function needs som space to actually scribble in whatever it wants to do.
Check out the attachement this should more or less be what you will need.

How can I using functions implicit in dll file in java code ?

How can I using functions implicit in dll file in java code ?
I'm developing a program that interfacing with fingerprint hardware.
I have the finger print already, and I have to the SDK that have all functions for managing this fingerprint.
These SDK functions are represented in dll files.
I want to know how can I use these functions in java code .
I looked on this link of sun forums :
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=305171&messageID=1215613
but I don't Understand the meaning of native code.
Thanks for help.

please please please please please please please please help me:
After reading a lot of articles, tutorials, and overviews about JNI (Java Native Interface)
I found that these steps
1.     Develop the Java code
2.     Compile the Java code to a class file
3.     Generate the header file
4.     Implement the native method
5.     Create the shared library or DLL
6.     Run the Java program
Is the common steps in JNI development

I don not to write any C++ code .
Is this possible???????????????????????????????

How to pass a struct to a DLL function and accessing it in another VI

Hi friends,
                   I am new to labview. I need to create a demo program in labview ,for displaying image from our own image capturing system. We have a DLL ( build in VC++) containing functions for capturing image from our system. Now I need to create a VI library for some of functions in DLL and Create a Demo program using those created subvi library . I used "Call Function node" and created some of subvi's.
Some of our DLL functions need to pass struct pointers. Our function prototype will be similar to the following function.
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall Initialize( unsigned char *imagebuffer,struct config *Configuration);
The passed struct is similar to
struct config
double                val1[3];
unsigned short   val2;
bool                    val3;
bool                    val4[3];
unsigned char    val5;
unsigned char   val6[3];
bool                    val7[26];
For passing "unsigned char *imagebuffer" I initialized array with "Numeric constant " and set the size of the array and send to the function.
The problem here is, I used this array in one of the subvi.
How can I use the returned imagebuffer array in my main demo program. How to connect the image array to subvi "Connecter Pane"
And which control can I use to display the image. The image data I get is form of 1-D Array .
The second problem is,
   For passing the structure, I used "Bundle " and filled the bundle with all the datatypes as in my struct and passed to the function. Is it correct ? How to access this bundle after returned from function in another Vi. ie.) How to connect this bundle to the connter pane ?
Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

You say nothing about how your cluster looks but I'm afraid you did the standard error here and placed arrays in it. That is not what the C structure is representing for several reasons.
First fixed size arrays in C are inlined inside a structure, so are not a pointer but for the case of your val1 element three doubles.
Second although not relevant here because of above point: LabVIEW arrays are not the same as C arrays. LabVIEW uses a pointer to a pointer and has the size of the array in elements prepended to the array data. C simply uses a pointer and all the rest is the programmers sorrow. The Call Library Node does convert the top level element of variables you pass according to the type configuration of that parameter but does no conversion of internal elements at all. So passing clusters with anything like arrays or strings is always wrong unless the DLL is aware of the specific datatypes LabVIEW uses.
Last but not least you can end up with alignment issues. Elements in structures are aligned by every C compiler to a certain value. This value can be defined by the programmer in the project settings or for Visual C through #pragma pack() statements in the C code. The alignment rule says that an variable is aligned to the smaller of the two values that are either a multiple of the variable element size or the alignment setting. Most 32bit code nowadays uses 8 bit default alignment but LabVIEW always uses 1 byte. In your case there is nothing to observe since the large variables are at the beginning. Otherwise you might have had to insert filler elements in the LabVIEW cluster.
One last thing bool is a C++ type only. Its size is 1 byte and incidentially this is the same LabVIEW uses for Booleans.

How to read data from a function exit

Hi friends,
I have a requirement, where in i am creating a screen exit for ME51N.I am using MEREQ001 enhancement for this.It is working fine, but i am to get data in to this so as to write any code.For that i am using the function exit EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_001 in that same enhancement(thought of doing export and import).
But the data is declared in this way..
REFERENCE(IM_REQ_ITEM) TYPE REF TO IF_PURCHASE_REQUISITION_ITEM
so now it is having a method GET_DATA in which i have all the parameters required.
can anyone please tell me how to read this data...

How to read current line number in function module sourrce code?

Hi All,
How to read current line number in function module sourrce code?
regards,
Anuj

If you have new editor you would be able to see the line number.
Or in the Dump screen - there is a button called Debugger - click that you would be able to see the code where dump has occured.. you would be able to find the line number from there.
To get the new editor with line number , you need to change the settingsin SE38.
