Problem with Call Library Function. Want to pass a string and return a string, but my compiler does not recognize "CStr" and Labview does not recognize my "char *function()" callout

Hi, I'm trying to use a .DLL I wrote in Visual C++ .NET. The Call Library Function generates a function prototype of "CStr Parser(CStr arg_raw)"
but my compiler won't accept this. So I change it to how C normally deals with strings "char *Parser(char *arg_raw). Now the Call Librafy Function does not find "Parser" in my .DLL though it is definitely there!
Help!

Hello
You will need to include extcode.h in your C file. You can find this under ..\LabVIEW\cintools folder.
The include has all the defines you will need.

TS3274 has anyone had a problem with the on/off button being stuck down? my IPad is on, but the power button is stuck down and I cannot power off

I have and IPad 2. I realized (while travelling by air) that my power button was stuck in the down position. I cannot power off my IPad. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue and what you may have done to rectify? I think Apple may be aware of this problem. I stopped into an Apple store and they were not supprised, but I could not make an appt because I was traveling and did not live in the area. Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Passing arrays with Call Library Function does not work after application builder

Calling a DLL with Call Library Function which requires an array of data works correctly in Labview, but after building an exe with application builder, the call no longer works. Dereferecing the pointer in the DLL retuns all 0s and not the actual values.

I did not run your code because it is a little unclear to me what it does.
Two things:
First, is the DLL you are calling the DLL-ified version of PopUpNames.vi? Then the problem is likely that the panel is not being built into the DLL.
When LabView builds an application / dll, it strips the front panel and block diagram from all VIs that it doesn't think need to show a panel at run time. This reduces file size and increases code security. The App Builder's panel inclusion logic can be overridden by Build Specifications -> Source File Settings -> Remove front panel. A better method is to put a property node on a control in a window you want to show marking it "visible"; this is sufficient to tell the App Builder it should keep the panel.
Currently Source File Settings shows "no dependencies" (clearly incorrect---another evil side effect of Express VIs I guess) but if you change the settings as shown below to keep ALL panels, one might hope the App Builder can figure it to keep the panel when it deconstructs the Express VI. (Alternatively convert the Express VI into a regular one.)
A second comment: I am a bit flummoxed at the larger goal here. You are calling LabView DLL from LabView, which doesn't make a lot of sense, so I assume your larger goal is to call LabView from C or vice-versa. In that case be aware that your DLL is x86 (32-bit) but you are passing 64-bit ints as your pointers. In this case it is 32-bit LabView with 32-bit pointers in embedeed in 64-bit containers calling 32-bit LabView with 32-bit pointers in embedeed in 64-bit containers, so it all works, but if your going to call this from C or whatnot you're going to have to follow that same design.
When calling C code the LabView Call Library Function does have a "unsigned pointer-sized integer" data type that always appears to be 64 bits in the dev env but which actually passes a 64 or 32-bit int to the DLL depending on the environment. The "pointer sized int" has to be 64 bits in the "LabView" part of the code because LabView's strong typing requires the data type to be determined at compile time. Casting all pointers to the largest data type in LabView makes it possible to write platform-independent code, but down at the Call Library level you still have to put the right number of bytes on the stack.

VI analyzer: Wire under object test fails with Call Library Function Nodes

Hi,
If I wire a Call Library Function Node with an ErrorIn and an ErrorOut, the VI Analyzer Test "Wire under Object" fails always with two occurrences per Call Library Function Node.
A double click to the occurrence highlights the error lines connected with the call... node.
The test does not fail, if the error lines are not connected.
Thanks!
H
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This became a problem when Call Library Nodes got error terminals (and optional path terminals) in LabVIEW 8.20. I should be able to get a fix in to VI Analyzer Toolkit 2010.
Thanks for taking the time to report the bug.

Problem with Call Transaction opt-RACOMMIT = 'X'.

Hello Experts
I am having a problem with call transction. I am calling a Z transaction in function module. Within the Z transaction I am furhter calling some function modules and doing commit work and then some more processing after the comit work inside So to make sure the code after comit work is fired I am using opt-RACOMMIT = 'X' in call transaction. Whenever I set this parameter opt-RACOMMIT = 'X' call transaction fails and gives error saying No batch Input data for screen XXXX. However the Z tcode processed succesfully.
By changing the Mode to E i found that it remians at the last screen of call transction after executing the Z transaction and never comes back
But if I donot use RACOMMIT = 'X' everything is fine. Please let me know if anyone came across such problem. Any help will be apreciated.
Thanks,
kamal

Hello,
as you said, if there is more than commit statement in your ztransaction, then you should put RACOMMIT to 'X'.
I think the problem is in your bdcdata: change it to be sure to get back to the 1st screen of your ztransaction. Then, at this point (1st screen) hit "back" button.

Problem with calling onApplicationStart() method

Hi all,
     I have a problem with calling application.cfc's methods from coldfusion template. The problem is like when i am calling "onapplicationstart" method inside a cfml template i getting the error shown below
The onApplicationStart method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the onApplicationStart method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.
My code is like below.
Application.cfc
<cfcomponent hint="control application" output="false">
<cfscript>
this.name="startest";
this.applicationtimeout = createtimespan(0,2,0,0);
this.sessionmanagement = True;
this.sessionTimeout = createtimespan(0,0,5,0);
</cfscript>
<cffunction name="onApplicationStart" returnType="boolean">
    <cfset application.myvar = "saurav">
<cfset application.newvar ="saurav2">
    <cfreturn true>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
testpage.cfm
<cfset variables.onApplicationStart()>
I have tried to call the above method in different way also like
1--- <cfset onApplicationStart()>
i got error like this
Variable ONAPPLICATIONSTART is undefined.
2---<cfset Application.onApplicationStart()>
The onApplicationStart method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the onApplicationStart method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably.

Please help me out.

You can't just call methods in a CFC without a reference to that CFC. This includes methods in Application.cfc.
What are you trying to do, exactly, anyway? You'd probably be better served by placing a call to onApplicationStart within onRequestStart in Application.cfc, if your goal is to refresh the application based on some condition:
<cffunction name="onRequestStart">
     <cfif someCondition>
          <cfset onApplicationStart()>
     </cfif>
</cffunction>

Problems with calls and Answering Machine

I have a problem with calls on my Z3 dual and the Answering Machine after the update to L.I don't have Smart Answer enabled -gesture to answer calls- but when I answer a call too close to the time set to the Answering Machine to kick in, when the call reaches this time (say 25 seconds) the call will be interrupted for about 2 to 5 seconds where I can't hear the other party and they can't hear me, and then the call will resume.If I disasble the answering machine, this bug is gone.I have cleared data of the phone app but still this issue persists.

I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.

Problem with call forwarding. Calls can not be forwarded for incoming external calls

Hi Everybody, how are you?
I have a problem with call forwarding. Everything was fine but now is not working.
In the reception of an office, the receptionist activate the call forward option to an internal extension. If somebody, internal in the office, call to the reception, the call is forwarding to the extension configured. But if I call from the outside (in example, from my cellphone) the call is not forwarded to the extension configured and continue ringing in the reception phone. Why this behavior? Any idea?
If you know something please tell me.
Thanks. Best regards.
Andres Collazos.

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

Lync 2013 I have a strange problem concerning group call pickup in lync 2013.the pickup calls on snom 710 having only a second delay, but in lync client it having about 5-7 second Anybody out there having similar problems with call pickup Groups?

Anybody out there having similar problems with call pickup Groups?

Hi,
Did you meet any other call delay when you using Lync?
As the issue happen for Lync desktop client, it can be performance issue. Please check if there is any error message from FE Server when the issue happen.
Also please check if you have updated Lync Server to the latest version, if not, update it and then test again.

Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.

Problems with Aperture Library

My iMac crashed as I was importing some pictures. When I restarted it said there was a problem with the library and it needed to be repaired. After the repair I find that when I open Aperture I get an error message:There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/samswallow/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. I quit that and Aperture closes. I have reinstalled Aperture and it makes no difference. All my photos are still there in Aperture Library Masters and can be seen in Preview. I would value any help on this.

Did you do a repair or a rebuild? And did the action complete normally?
I would do the permissions repair then the library repair again and if you still get the errors do the rebuild. Note before doing the rebuild you should have a backup of your library. While it rarely happens rebuilds can make things worst.

Problems with itunes library and order of tracks

Hello,
I downloaded the new update, and I'm having a problem with my library when accessed from the browser. Before itunes 7, my tracks were in order that they appeared on the album, now they are in alphabetical order. Is there a way to make it go back the way it was before the update--in order by track number?
thanks.
chris

I was having the same problem and I knew there had to be an easy answer. I knew it for sure when I saw your topic unanswered. Just right click, or control click on the bar where it says name, album, genre, etc. and select "track number," this will give you the option to put them in their original order.
You can also access this under "view options" in the view pull down menu.
