How to use COM DLL in LabWindows

Hello
I have a COM .dll which looks like that when opened with dll export viewer:
I would like to use the Get4AxisPos function in LabWindows.
I understood that, as I only have the .dll, the only way of calling these functions are with the LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() functions.
My problem is that the Get4AxisPos function is not of type Exported Function but COM Method so I don't know how to use it in my LabWindows project!
My questions are: Is it possibleto use this dll in Labwindows? If yes how?
Thanks
Solved!

Hi ,
I am new to C++ and COM .
i need to implement a client application in C(lab windows CVI) , server is a c++ COM object.
steps followed by me
---> accessed the registered COM object with Labwindows CVI active x controller template,output was a c file which is implementation of the class names in COM (interfaces).
I can use majority of the functions directly from the generated, but i need to implement some event functions like message box events and then use it.
I have seen one method of accessing in C++ client sample ,
which implements Queryinterface function...takes the IID_Unknown as input and returns interface pointer(inhereted static_castof the required class, uses static_cast for that) as output.
when i try to follow up the same in c , i am lost with the inheritance concept.
In short i need to send IID Unknown to the Queryinterface function and should get the interface pointer of message box type or other class type ...
Sorry for the long mail,Please guide me
Thanks in advance ,
Satish

How to use the DLLs which created from c++ in Java?

And How to use the DLLs which created from JNI in C++?

Huh?
Are you asking how to do JNI - you should read the tutorial.
Are you asking how to load it - then use System.loadLibrary()
Are you asking what to do with the output from javah - put it in a C file and write some code, compile it into a dll.

How to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around

how to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around through a java program. now I can't access that dll like this directly from java.

Your question is unclear. (You haven't said what dll you are talking about.)
But:
If you are talking about an existing dll, then the only alternative to writing a wrapper is to use one of the wrapper generators floating around. Do a search on JACE.
If you are talking about a dll you are writing, then run jah and get the interface to match java right away; then you won't have to write a wrapper.

How to use IVI Driver in Labwindows

I want to use IVI drivers in LabWindows/CVI, but I don't know how! I know that it necessary to load the class driver. But how can I include the specific driver??? It is possible to add functions into a class driver? And what I have to do when the instrument should change?
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Chris,
If your goal is to create an interchangeable application, you do have to use a class driver. National Instruments provides Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), a Graphical User Interface for configuring IVI. MAX is usually installed with one of NI's Application Development Environments such as LabVIEW or Measurement Studio, or with one of NI's hardware product drivers such as NI-488.2 or NI-DAQ.
The IVI configuration utility allows you to interchange instruments without recompiling or relinking your application source code by configuring logical names. The user defines which specific instrument he wants to associate with a logical name and IVI takes care of the rest. If at a later time, the user decides to swap the instrument and use a diff
erent one, all he has to do is change the entry in the configuration utility so the logical name points to a different specific instrument driver (driver session).
So, the important point is that you have to have both, IVI class and specific driver installed on your system, and then you need to configure them in MAX. MAX 3.0 now has a built-in help to guide you through the configuration process. In the case that you still do not have MAX 3.0, you can find an application note about the IVI configuration in MAX 2.x on NI's Developer Zone: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzone.nsf/webproducts/E2947DB2FF0DD9FE862569FD006EB939?opendocument.
As for the adding functions into the class driver, the answer is no, that is not possible. You can certainly use the specific driver functions in the application which is written using the class driver functions but then your application will not be completely interchangeable in the future. However, this way you will just isolate a small portion of y
our code that you will need to change later on when you decide to change the instrument.
I hope this makes sense.

now I'm not sure how to zip the dlls so that it can be used in nativelib?and how to used the <nativelib> label? just add it in the jnlp file ok?
Thanks.

>
Thanks,Andrew!>Your detailed and technically specific reply is all the thanks I need ( and probably more than I deserve ;).
I am still mulling (thinking) over your reply, there is nothing that 'jumps out at me' as being wrong with the way it is done, it all is looking like it 'should' work. The only other thing I can think to check is "did JaNeLA report any problems with it?"
Oh hang on, wait just a second..
If this webstart app. uses a native lib, it must declare security 'all-permissions'. See below for a 'hand written' variation to your posted JNLP file. Please make sure you validate these edits, since I did not (and I'm a little drunk, at this moment!).

When posting code, code snippets, HTML/XML(/JNLP) or input/output, please use the code tags. To do that, select the code, then click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form. This helps to retain the indentation and formatting of the text, and also helps avoid characters in the code as being interpreted as formatting (by the 'forum software'). ..And it also makes it pretty - but perhaps I should not mention that (it seems so 'un-hacker').
And BTW, what is that standalone=''no" attribute in the opening XML element? Are you +sure+ you validated this in JaNeLA?

How to use AcroPDF.dll even if addon is deactivated in InternetExplorer

Hello,
hopefully someone can help me with my problem:
I need to instantiate AcroPDF.dll and have it deactivated at the same time in InternetExplorers Addon-settings.
But when I deactive the addon in IE, CreateObject("AcroPDF.PDF.1") throws an error that the instance could not be created, but the dll is still registered.
How does this deactivation work technically? Is there any way to use the dll in other applications regardless of the IE-settings?
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Thomas

For programming issues you should use the forum for Acrobat SDK.

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

Thanks!!

As already suggested, you can display custom messages using AbstractTrace.
trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get( StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
trace.addInfo("G1-CYCLE is missing");
For more on coding front refer:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/pi/com/sap/aii/mapping/api/StreamTransformation.html
To get this trace seen in MONI, set parameter TRACE_LEVEL in SXMB_ADM to 2.

How to Use Com ports on oracle forms

Hai,
how we can use com port to communicate to the device like Pole Display(output device) or fixed scaneer (input device) having serial port(Input device) in oracle forms.
Thanks & regards

For web forms you will probably need to create a PJC and/or use webutil and make calls to the device's API.

How to use libdb60.dll

Hello,
I'm a beginner with Berkeley DB and my question is: how to use the libdb60.dll with C++ Builder (Embarcadero) code?
I created corresponding LIB with IMPLIB from dll and included it in the project, but the Exports section of LIB is very strange and the linker tell me "unresolved external".
For example the entry related to the "open" bdb function, in the LIB is "?open@Db@@UAEHPAVDbTxn@@PBD1W4DBTYPE@@IH@Z".
Why?
How should I use the dll?
The dll is the one provided with bdb setup, not built with MS VC++.
Thanks.

Thanks for fast reply.
I had already read the chapter 5, but building the solution "Berkeley_DB.sln" (just db sub-solution) in the "build_windows" directory with VC++ 2008 Express, I got the error "mut_win32.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ___emit__ referenced in function _func_mutex_pause".
I'm not familiar with VC++ because I'm Embarcadero C++ Builder user.
Therefore I used the dll in the "Berkeley DB 6.0.30.msi" installer,
What the above error is?

How to use external DLLs in InDesign server plugin

Hi,
I am working on a project, which is having dependency on libxml2 library. I compiled the code on 64 bit Windows platform and using InDesign server 64 bit version. I put the required DLLs in Adobe InDesign CS6 Server x64 folder(with other DLLs). But now my plugin is not loading in server and also not throwing any error message on command prompt.
If I remove the libxml2's method call, then plugin is loading successfully.
Is there any other way to use external DLL or I am missing something?
Thanks & Regards,
Harsh

Hi Sidharth,
If you are using web dynpro DC perspective then you need to follow the following points to use the external jar files in it.
1. Create a external library project.
2. copy the external jars in the library folder os the projects.
3.) Select all the jars from the u201CLibrariesu201D folder, Right click and then select Development Component and click on Add to Public Part
4.Select the first Radio Button (Provides an API)and give some nameto it.
5. Repeat the step no 3 but now select the second radio button other than as selected in step no 4.
6. Now build your lirary DC.
7. Now create a j2ee DC project.
8. ) Expand the node DC Definition and Right Click on Used DC. Select Add Used DC.
9. Select the External Library DC with build time dependency.
10.Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Build
11. Right click on the J2EE DC and then select Development Component followed by Deploy
now you can use both the libary DC and the j2ee DC in your web dynpro DC as used DC.
But if you have created a web dynpro project only(but not DC) than you can directly add the external jars in java build path
hope this will help
regards
Narendra

How to use 'SBOAddonReg.dll'

Hi,Everyone.
I want to use 'SBOAddonReg.dll' and to delete registry.
Is it possible although development environment is 'VB.NET2003'?
Thanks for help.

Hi Barend.
Do you think that it is right to use the following coding instead of using 'SBOAddonReg.dll'?
Dim regkey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = _
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey( _
"Software\SAP\SAP Manage\AddOns\TEST", True)
regkey.DeleteSubKey("TEST01", False)
regkey.Close()
Although this coding should just be carrying out the same motion as
'UnRegisterAddOn' of 'SBOAddonReg.dll' ...

How to use COM component in Forms 6.0 ??

Dear All,
We are developing Retail-Chain s/w and have a 3rd party s/w for credit card and
they give a .dll (not a ordinary dll ), .tlb file and sample VB code to integrate the 3rd party s/w.
Now i want to do the same task in my application using Forms 6.0.
Here is the sample code for VB :
' Sample VB code for invoking Plutus from VB-based ECR application
Private Sub Command1_Click()
' This is called when "Pay by card" is pressed in ECR application
Dim strIO As String
Dim lTrackingID As Long
' Add PlutusExchange v1.0 Type Library (TLB) as reference to the project
Dim plutObj As New PlutusExchangeLib.ExchangeObj
lTrackingID = 6 ' For testing, enter the scenario number as given in interchange spec doc
strIO = "T123,156" ' This is input to Plutus -- base amount in paise for Rs. 1.56 and ECR bill number: T123
' Bill number is only used for printing on Plutus chargeslip
plutObj.PL_DoTransactionEx lTrackingID, strIO
MsgBox strIO, vbOKOnly, "Plutus Response String"
' Parse this string to extract Plutus response. Only indication of successful transaction authorization is a valid auth code returned in response
End Sub
Plz. reply.
Note: I already register the .dll file and it showing in import OLE option under Forms 6.0.
Thanks
