Terminate execution from DLL file?

How do I terminate the execution of a sequence, from a DLL file? I'm using pure C++ and the DLL adapter in TestStand.
I tried 'execution->Terminate;', but no effect.
What would be the approach to make the sequence execution goto cleanup (still using C code from a DLL file)?

Hey Steve,
I wrote a small dll in CVI that will wait indefinitely in the DLL step until the Terminate Button is pressed in TestStand. The code is below. I hope this helps.
void __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall WaitUntilTerminateIsPressed(CAObjHandle SeqContext)
    TSObj_Property TermMonitor;
    TSObj_Execution ExcObj;
    VBOOL TerminateBool;
    TS_SeqContextGetExecution (SeqContext, NULL, &ExcObj);
    TS_ExecutionInitTerminationMonitor (ExcObj, NULL, &TermMonitor);
    TerminateBool = VFALSE;
    while(TerminateBool == VFALSE)
        TS_ExecutionGetTerminationMonitorStatus (ExcObj, NULL, TermMonitor, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, &TerminateBool);
        Delay(.1);
Best Regards,

How to creat COM object from dll file?

Hi,
I tried to read about this topyc, but I didn't found eny example that creat
COM object. I downloaded jacob.jar
then I writed:
ActiveXComponent ax = new ActiveXComponent("C:/MyJava/deploy/SMSCom.dll");
Object SMSObj = ax.getObject();
I get error (I put jacob.jar with all athers jars, I don't know way this erre)
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jacob in java.library.path
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
     at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.<clinit>(Dispatch.java)file name: SMSCom.dll
object name: SMSSender
In VB this is the code:
Object SMSObj = CreateObject("SMSCom.SMSSender");
SMSObj.password = pass;
SMSObj.Username = name;
SMSObj.Source = phone;Thanks

In Eclipse:
1- To include jacob.jar for compile / run:
Choose the Java perspective, then in the Package Explorer right-click on the project and choose Properties.
Select Java Build Path from the left pane then the Librairies pane from the right.
Click on Add External Jars button and select the jacob.jar file then click Open then Ok.
2- To make jacob.dll and SMSCom.dll "visible" for run:
Open your Debug (or Run) Java application configuration (the one for your project's main class).
Select the Environment pane then click on Select button.
Select Path and click on Ok button.
Then re-select Path and click on Edit button.
Add the two appropriate folders for jacob.dll and SMSCom.dll in the Path and click on Ok then Apply.

Execution from JAR files and Classpaths -- Help

I am confused about how classes are resolved when running from within a JAR file, and why this is different than running a class that is not inside a JAR file.
I have an application that uses classes from a third party library stored in a JAR file (biojava.jar) . If I run the app from the class file it works as expected and is capable of finding the external classes when the path to the biojava.jar is on my classpath. It also works if biojava.jar is instead placed in the extensions folder jre/lib/ext folder without an explicit path entry in my classpath.
However when I package all my application classes up in a JAR file and try to execute the application from the JAR file it will ONLY work if I add a manifest entry to myApp.jar ... Class-Path: biojava.jar AND I place the file biojava.jar in the SAME directory as the Packaged JAR application. I would like to find a way to make this JAR file work for anyone who has biojava.jar in their classpath or ext directory. In other words I don't want my user community to have to copy the biojava.jar file when I email them myApp.jar. This community will already have biojava.jar on their CLASSPATH.
How can I make my app within a JAR recognize either the user's CLASSPATH or ext folder? I have tried reading the documentation and many experiments but the only way it works is as described above.
I am running Running Windows 2000.
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Here are the results of my experimentations:
The following Works:
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: biojava.jar
Place biojava.jar in the same directory as SequenceSpiral.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
This works perfectly
NONE of the following work
0) Placing biojava.jar in my jre/lib/ext directory instead of the same dir as SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
(this is the first class referenced from biojava.jar)
1) Just see if it will find the proper jar on my classpath

I have biojava.jar on my classpath but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
2) Specify the name if the jar in the Manifest Classpath and see if it will find the proper jar on my classpath
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: biojava.jar
I have biojava.jar on my classpath but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
3) Specify the path of the jar in the Manifest Classpath
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: d:/biojava/biojava.jar
I have biojava.jar on my classpath (D;\biojava\biojava.jar) but not in same directory as SequenceSprial.jar
java -jar SequenceSpiral.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/biojava/bio/seq/FeatureFilter
(note that in this case it is not fnding my main even though the Main-Class is specified)
4) Specify current directory and biojava.jar in the Manifest Class-Path
Manifest: Main-Class: org/biojava/app/SequenceSpiral
Manifest: Class-Path: .;biojava.jar

Thank you very much for any help or suggestions,

I did some more testing and I think I now understand what is going on.
I don't like it, but at least I understand it.
The problem: I have an app packaged into a JAR file, myApp.jar. It has a dependancy upon an external JAR file extern.jar.
extern.jar is on my Classpath (and also in jre/lib/ext)
1) For some reason (bug?) java -jar myApp.jar does NOT use the classpath or the jre/lib/ext mechanisms to find .jar files needed to resolve references to external classes. This seems to be true even if you add an explicit -classpath argument on the command line!
thus
java -jar -cp c:\\absolutePathToMy\extern.jar myApp.jar
also fails as does
java -cp c:\\absolutePathToMy\extern.jar -jar myApp.jar
2) Inside the myApp Jar file you can specify a URL to an jar extension jar file but the URL IS RELATIVE TO THE PATH WHERE THE myApp.Jar is executed from! If I add the Manifest item Class-Path: ..\..\..\myexterndir\extern.jar then
java -jar myApp.jar
works correctly and resolves the external references.
This is why several people have reported that this class-path mechanism works ONLY when the extern.jar file is in the SAME DIRECTORY as the myApp.jar file when they had added a Class-Path: extern.jar to the Manifest.
However together these two items make it IMPOSSIBLE to distribute myApp.jar to others and have it work since the path names statically encoded inside the jar are relative to where the jar gets executed from. If I move myApp.jar to a different location on my hard drive it may also fail.
In my case I know all my customers already have extern.jar (5MB) installed on their classpaths and I would like to just send them the myApp.jar ( .5MB ).
However I don't see how to do this given the current specification of a JAR file, and the bug that makes all -jar file act like they have the Sealed=true property.
I tried explicity setting Sealed=false in the manifest but this didn't seem to have any effect.
I hope that this will save others the many hours of time it has taken be to determine that JARS are not well suited for deploying apps with dependenncies on external libs.
I also hope that someone can show me how execute a JAR and specify a classpath that doesn't get IGNORED my the classloader used in loading the jar classes.
This is using java version:
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
Does any one know this bug is fixed in a later release?

Import vi from dll

when i try to set up to import vi from .DLL file, how do i include more than one .h file
(select shared lib & header file screen)
here's the warning message, and the import failed.
there's only 2 files which has the refer f(x) - *.dll & *.h
The shared library contains 1 function(s), among which the declarations of 0 function(s) are found in the header file and these function(s) will be imported. The remaining 1 function(s) listed below cannot be imported.
- getAuthenticationArray ()
For each function, verify the following conditions:
1. The function is declared in the header file.
2. The declaration of the function in the header file(s) is embraced by a valid predefined symbol.
3. The predefined symbols are included in the list of valid predefined symbols. You can click the Back button to get to the previous page of the wizard and add the predefined symbol.
4. The header file contains declarations for the functions to be converted.

Kitahara,
      To get a better idea of your issue please answer these questions:
1.What version of LabVIEW are you using?
2. What language was the .DLL created in?
3. Please attach any pertinent files
4. Have you looked at this resource?
Thanks,
Nathan

How can i call a DLL file from labview?

Iam using a sensoray 2601 module.It is given as DLL file(S2600.DLL).How can i call this function from LabVIEW?
Please Mark the solution as accepted if your problem is solved and donate kudoes

As far as I can tell problems might occur with the call library function node if the the DLL from visual basic is actually an ActiveX dll if that is the case it seems calling the dll by using the Invoke node is the way to go.
Have a look at this

Call a method with complex data type from a DLL file

Hi,
I have a win32 API with a dll file, and I am trying to call some methods from it in the labview. To do this, I used the import library wizard, and everything is working as expected. The only problem which I have is with a method with complex data type as return type (a vector). According to this link, import library wizard can not import methods with complex data type.
The name of this method is this: const std::vector< BlackfinInterfaces::Count > Counts ()
where Count is a structure defined as below:
struct Count
Count() : countTime(0) {}
std::vector<unsigned long> countLines;
time_t countTime;
It seems that I should manually use the Call Library Function Node. How can I configure parameters for the above method?

You cannot configure Call Library Function Node to call this function. LabVIEW has no way to pass a C++ class such as vector to a DLL.

Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. iTune out??

Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Thank you.

I have a dll file, i want to send messages from this to the device ,how can i do it in labview

Hi,
I am a new user of labview.
I got Vector Card, DUT, DC Power supply and .dll file. Hoe can i connect dll file and hoe to senf the information to the device,
i want to send/receive a message to that device . and measure temperature , humidity of the device. is any one can help?
i have a .dll file, i want to send messages from this file to the testing device ,how can i do it in labview?

Dear Sandy,
How are your DUT, Vector Card and your PC connected?
What vector card is this?
There are a huge amount of Knowledge base articles that you can access from www.ni.com. Simply go to the website and do a search on dll, etc.
There are also a lot of example problems shipped with LabVIEW that will be very helpful for you to learn from and to modify to meet your needs. Go to File»Find Example ....
There are LabVIEW classes taught locally as well that are very helpful. If you're interested I can arrange for you to receive an email with info about it.
Sincerely,

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!

Accessing DLL files from Java

I have a problem with Java, and the problem is that I'm trying to call a DLL file declared by C++ only but without a support for Java programs, is what I'm aiming for going to be available by using the rundll32.exe file.
Note: I'm trying to use the (skydll.dll) file for controling skystar2 DVB card.

You cannot directly call a DLL from Java unless the DLL exposes entry points that are compatible with the JNI calling conventions.
For example a Java class calling a native function like below:
class Arguments
   private native void setArgs (String[] javaArgs);
   public static void main (String args[])
      Arguments A = new Arguments();
      newArgs[] = A.setArgs(args);
   static
      System.loadLibrary("MyArgs");
}Needs a DLL entry point with the following signature:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_Arguments_setArgs (JNIEnv *jenv, jobject job, jobjectArray oarr) {Notice that the first parameter of the method is of type JNIEnv and the second can be either a reference to a class or Java object instance.

Were Can I SAFELY download my missing QTMovie.dll file from?

The Itunes store keeps crashing and when I try the fix suggested by Apple I find that the file that needs moving - the QTMovie.dll file is not there so I need to install it if possible from a safe site. Any Ideas PLEASE!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
iTunes no longer relies on QuickTime, though you may have some older video formats that need it. It should not be required to access the iTunes Store.

Call function from C++ (dll file) in Flex

Hi,
i using Adobe Flash Builder with Flex 4 , i write a C++ Code in dll File , i need to access to my Function in dll file in Flex ?? what should i do ??

Lets make sure you are performing the correct actions:
1. Place a Call Library Function node on your block diagram.
2. Double click the node to open up the Call Library Function dialog box.
3. Click the Browse button and navigate to the DLL function. Select the proper DLL and click Open, or just double click on DLL.
4. On the Function Name box, click on down arrow. A list of functions found in the DLL should be displayed. Choose the function.
5. On the Calling Conventions box, click on down arrow and select C or WINAPI. In your case, it should probably be C.
6. The Parameter box should show return type. In the Type box, select the data type of the return value. Since you won't see HRESULT here, you need to find out what data type HRESULT is in the C code. I would guess it is a numeric so select numeric from the drop down list.
7. Click the Add a Parameter After button.
8. In the Parameter box, change the name arg1 to the actual name of your first parameter, which is byPortNumber.
9. In the Type box, choose Numeric, since a BYTE is a numeric in Labview.
10. In the Data Type box, choose Unsigned 8-bit Integer, since a BYTE is a U8 in Labview.
11. In the Pass box, choose Value. If the C parameter was a pointer (*BYTE), you would choose Pointer to Value.
12. Verify that the contents of the Function Prototype box contains the correct syntax according to the C declaration.
C: HRESULT RSPInitComm (BYTE byPortNumber) should be in Labview: long RSPInitComm(Unsigned char byPortNumber)
13. Click OK button.
Try it out.
If you get a crash, change the Calling Convention to WINAPI.

Calling dll file to control a third party board from PC Control.

Hi there,
I have this hawkeye stepper motor control board from PC control company.
It comes with a software written by the company which is in DLL format. I would like to call the DLL file in labview and be able to do further programming on it using labview platform to control the motor board.
The reason that I need to call this DLL file is because labView does not recognise the control board when connected to it.
I would really be grateful if anyone who has purchased the same motor control board from PC control company before and successfully using labview to control it could share the code and driver with me.
Many thanks.

Hello,
I'm not using that vendor products so I can't help you directly with your issue.
Nevertheless, you can find several documents on this site explaining how to use DLLs in LabVIEW: I point you to three of them, but yu can find more with apropriare searches.
Can LabVIEW C? - Example 3: Using the Right Tools with LabVIEW a whitepaper on using external DLs in LabVIEW
Calling External Code From LabVIEW link useful documents on how to call different external codes in LabVIEW
Using Existing C Code or a DLL in LabVIEW a tutorial which explainh how to use DLLs
I must also warn you that this is not the proper forum board where to post LabVIEW-related questions: this board is dedicated to LabWindows/CVI users, while there is a specific board for LabVIEW users where I suggest you to post further questions.

Is there a way to re install the tbb.dll file? From what I've seen in the forum, it looks complicated.

I just downloaded Adobe Photoshop cc 2014. I wished I as told I would need a certain because obviously it's missing. I never needed the tbb.dll file when I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop cs6 and I had no problems that up I may have to ask for my money back if I have to download a file from some unknown service. Can you help? tbb.dll photoshop* windows 64 bit
