Redirecting to a function within a DLL

In the online Help file I created, I have a custom button
that links to an external web page and opens in a separate Browser.
I've currently got a redirect.htm file that triggers this action.
Instead, I'd like to link to a function within a DLL file.
This function opens a dialog box that displays our knowledge base.
I can't link directly to the knowledge base because product mgmt
doesn't want the address to display in the browser.
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
Thanks so much for your help. Everyone who has replied to my
past queries has been a great help!

I should say first of all that I am not a programmer so I
quantify what follows with a large pinch of salt. However what you
are trying to achieve is similar to using a context sensitive help
call. The only difference is that it is coming from the application
rather than a user. So I'm wondering whether you could set-up a
context sensitive help call within the DLL using a mapid?
Amm willing for others to pipe in and tell me I'm way off the
radar.

Programmatically choosing the dll and function within the dll

LabVIEW 2013
I have a top-level UI application, basically a test executive, from which I want to execute external VIs, the tests, that are identified at run-time. I think that means compiling my test VIs into DLLs and then accessing the test VIs from the DLLs. The problem I have is that I do not know how to specify the VI to the Call Library Function at run-time.
Also, since all of this is LabVIEW code, is there an easier way than using the DLLs? Maybe an llb or packed library? And how would I use these?

hartzde wrote:
[..] The vi will need to be in some compiled form.
Default VIs include the compiled code.
Maybe you should also take a look into TestStand.
That being said, "Plug In" is (as already stated several times) the keyword you have to look for using Example finder, ni.com and even google.com (referring lavag.org and similar sites).

How to Call C functions within Flash?

I have a bunch of functions written in C++. I would like to
be able to call these functions within my flash application so that
I can pass data to the functions and get the returned values. Is
this possible with Flash 8?
If this is not possible then is there a way that I can have
Flash share memory space with another stand-alone application? This
way, a C++ program could read and write data to the shared memory
and Flash could also read and write to it.

you can write a dll and then call mmexecute in the flash IDE,
but I
think in the player it is not possible.
mProjector on windows will let you write c plugins that you
can call from Flash

BRF+ Deleting functions within object nodes

Hi Experts,
We are a large FMCG company and are implementing SAP Master Data Governance module for managing our material master data.
Hence, we have chosen BRF+ as the business rule engine to drive SAP MDG. SAP MDG version is EHP5
To create a ruleset, I initially create an object node within the 'Trigger tab' in the catalog. This object node is created with a naming convention DERIVE_ENTITY_ATTRIBUTE. I have then successfully created a function within the object and defined a ruleset as well.
Now if I delete the object node; it gets deleted from the trigger function tab. However if I create a new object node with a similar function, the system does not allow me to create the function as it throws a warning message stating that the function still exists.
Hence I wanted to know HOW DO I DELETE THE FUNCTION if the Object node for that function has already been deleted?
Is there any option to search the function and delete it?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Reenav on Nov 29, 2011 12:29 PM

Hi Carsten,
Where do you actually restore an object though? I don't see a button on the UI.
I have deleted an object by mistake, but since I don't have versioning turned on I cannot do a version restore. However I can still see the deleted object since it's only logically deleted?
If you do not have versioning turned on is it then impossible to restore?
Thanks,
Lee

Return value from function within package

Hi,
There is a function within a pl/sql package that I am trying to get data from. The problem is that the data returned can be up to 32,767 chars (varchar2 limit).
It accepts 3 input parameters and returns on varchar2.
The only way I can get it to work is using this syntax:
==================================
variable hold varchar2(4000);
call TrigCodeGenerator.GenerateCode(VALUE1', 'VALUE2','VALUE3') into :hold;
print hold;
=====================================
However, if the data returned is greater than 4000 then I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at line 1
I can't increase the size of the variable (hold) as there seems to be a limitation on this type of variable.
Also, I am running this in sql plus worksheet. Will it limit the display of the data (assuming, that someone can get the whole 32,767 chars displayed back) ?
Thanks in advance,
Ned

Never mind,
I declared the variable hold as clob and set the long and longchunksize parameters to 100,000 and it seems to work.

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.
Antonio

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.

Adding "Filter Criteria" to the XSLT List View Web Part impact on "Export to Excel" functionality within Document Library

Hi there,
XSLT List View displaying all the list items within the Document Library. In order to implement the Search functionality within Document library out of box "Text Filter" web part is configured as explained below. The solution is similar to
the one suggested at
http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=77
"Text Filter" Web Part added to the page.
Filter Criteria (i.e., XSLT List View columns) added to the XSLT List View where the filter parameters take the input from the "Text Filter" Web Part .
3. Both Web Parts (XSLT List View and the Text Filter) are connected.
When the search criteria is entered into the "Text Filter" Web Part, it is passed to the relevant Columns of the XSLT List View and the documents (List Items) that match the search criteria are shown within XSLT List View.
Search functionality working as expected.
Query: Selecting the "Export to Excel" icon from the ribbon generates the excel spread sheet with no data except Column Titles from the Document library. In the investigation it is
found that adding the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View is causing this bug. When the Filter Criteria is removed, then "Export to Excel" functionality is working as expected.
But it is mandatory to add "Filter Criteria" to implement the search functionality with in the document library.
Help: Help/input appreciated on the work around to get the "Export to Excel" functionality work when the "Filter Criteria"
exist on the XSLT List View.
Regards,

Once again thanks very much for your help Scott. very much appreciated.
In the investigation it is found that removing the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View makes the "Export to Excel" functionality work. But the 'Filter Criteria' is mandatory to get the 'Document Search' functionality.
I think that due to technical limitations it should be concluded that 'only custom development can make all work, no code solutions using the SharePoint Designer can meet all the requirements.
If you can think of any alternative solution that could help in resolving the current issue or fix the issue without any custom implementation please inform. Otherwise this issue would be marked as resolved with your suggested response.

Using call library function on a dll file created in an old version of labview

So I'm trying to update an old labview program to work in labview 2012. Everything converted over just fine but labview will always crashoverwrote some while using a library function in a DLL that was compiled using labview 8.5. Labview exits, stating that it vital memory area. It passes an array of data to the library call and an empty array for output. I thought I could get around this problem by changing my code to initialize the array being passed in so that it would be large enough to hold all the expected output. Now instead of overwritting areas of memory it shouldn't, I get a pop up message that says:
fatal internal error
memorymanager.cpp line 406
8.5.1.f5
So it appears because I don't have the ability to recompile the DLL file it runs off of the 8.5 runtime instead of the more recent one. Is there any thing I can do about this?

rjpierce wrote:
So I've been trying to figure out a way around this on my own while waiting on a response. From what I'm reading, a dll created in one version of the labview runtime can't be used by a different labview runtime. Am I correct in this? I feel like I must be mistaken since that's basically the opposite of how a dll should work. If nothing else works I have access to the original code for the DLL but it requires the control and simulation toolkit. I would like to avoid having to recompile the DLL since it was put in to a DLL to avoid the need for the toolkit to begin with.
Your problem most likely is that you try to pass native datatypes to the DLL function? That only can work if the caller and callee use the same LabVIEW runtime engine. Otherwise the memory block created in the memory manager of the caller will be accessed by the memory manager in the callee and bad things happen. Instead you should define the DLL function to use standard C datatypes (Pointer to C array) and also make sure to allocate the according buffer in the caller for all output array parameters.
An even more elegant way would be to completely abandon the DLL approach and call the according functions directly in LabVIEW. Then you won't have the problems about mismatched runtime engines. Passing C array pointers to a DLL is less performant than passing native datatypes, but if you use native datatypes you have to make sure the DLL is compiled in the same LabVIEW version as the one you call it from.

Can we call a function within a function??????Urgent

Dear All,

My usual soapbox response.
Saying your posting is urgent is rude and arrogant. Why? Because you are saying that other people who have posted problems here, have less important problems than yours. That despite how complex and critical their problem may be, yours take priority.
You're also demaning attention and a quick answer from people that provide support here - in their free time... and not getting paid a single cent for their efforts.
So just how can you demand any urgency to your posting from them?

Can I call a function from a dll in LabVIEW that returns:double*string and int.?

I have a function from a dll that return a double* string and an integer. How can I call this function from LabVIEW? There is a possibility to work in LabVIEW with a double* string?

Two difficulties I can see with this.
First the application seems to allocate the array of references
internally and return a pointer to that array. In that case there must
be another function which then deallocates that array again.
Then you would need to setup the function call to have a pointer to an
int32 number for the deviceList parameter and another pointer to int32
one for the plItems parameter.
Then create another function in your DLL similar to this:
HRESULT WRAPIEnumExtractDevice(WRAPI_NDIS_DEVICE *lpDeviceList, long i,
CHAR lpszDeviceName, LONG lenDeviceName,
CHAR lpszDeviceDesc, LONG lenDeviceDesc)
if (!lpDeviceList)
return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER;
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceName, -1,
lpszDeviceName, lenDeviceName,
NULL, NULL);
if (lpDeviceList[i].pDeviceName)
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0,
pDeviceList[i].pDeviceDescription, -1,
lpszDeviceDesc, lenDeviceDesc,
NULL, NULL);
return NO_ERROR;
Pass the int32 you got from the first parameter of the previous call as
a simple int32 passed by value to this function (and make sure you don't
call this function with a higher index than (plItems - 1) returned from
the first function.

How to define function within for loop pls help?????

Hi this is the problem i have a class, and within that class there is an actionPerformed function, in this class i also create an instance of another class, this other class also contains an actionPerformed function, which wis executed if a jButton has been pressed, when I try to place this actionPerfromed function within a for loop of a function i get an error saying illegal start of experssion, and that the class should be defined abstract as it does not define actionPerformed, when i take it out of the for loop it compliles fine, i need the function to be placed within the for loop because it needs to know the variable of the for loop, is there anyway around this? Thanks, below is the code:
public class DisplayTransitions extends JFrame implements ActionListener
public void add()
for(int i = 0; i < char2.size(); i ++)
mPanel.add(tim[i] = new JButton("Time"));
tim.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
 if (ae.getSource() == tim[i])
 timeIncr();

This is your for loop using an anonymous inner class for the listener:
 for (int i = 0; i < char2.size(); i++) {
 mPanel.add(tim[i] = new JButton("Time"));
 tim.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
if (ae.getSource() == tim[i]) {
timeIncr();
Learn more about anonymous inner classes from a good Java book or the Java tutorial (try http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/QandE/nested-answers.html).

Calling Functions of Loading DLL using java

I have a dll file
I know the functions which are ther in the dll
But how to call those functions using JAVA ?
can anyone tell me how to do the same...
Thanx in advance
regards,
Ritesh

I assume that you have a regular DLL and that the functions in that DLL are exported and that you know the signatures of each function.
With that in mind, you will need to use the Java Native Interface (JNI), to call those functions from Java. In a nutshell, you will need to create at least one class which declares some native methods, code a class static code block to load the JNI-DLL you are about to create, compile the class(es), run the javah tool supplied with the JDK which will emit a C compatible header file, implement the functions from the generated header file and compile that source file to into a DLL. It would be in this DLL that you would use the functions in the DLL that you ultimately want to access. So, what you wind up doing is creating a wrapper DLL.
Take a look at the JNI tutorial trail from Sun at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/index.html.
