Open VB6 dll on labview COM type libraries

Hi all

I have a third party DLL generated from VB6 and I try to access its functions using the block "call library function.

When I select the library path, I do not see the function I want on the field 'Function name' but if I type the name of the function, it automatically generates

the parameters as defined in the VB6 file, but I keep seeing the broken arrow and the error "not found in the function library.

I know that the function is defined as a COM type library because I tested it on a visualization of the Dll called "DLL Export Viewer" software.

Do you know guys a way to access this function? Thank you.

Hi Dennis,

I am new to use the LabView dll, thanks for your response.

To solve my problem, I created a "refnum automation control" on my front and then traveled to the DLL file. After that I just used nodes Invoke/property for ActiveX files as you said to access my functions.

Thanks for your attention!

  • Access to COM Port via DLLS in Labview is not possible

    Hello.

    I wrote my own DLL in c# for communication during the production process.

    But if I want to Labview to use this DLL communication still fails at the first step: open the COM port.

    So I removed all my code and made only a small DLL that opens/closes the COM port.

    When I run the command line tool that uses exactly the same dll such as Labview, COM port opening is possible.

    The com port can be selected by adding a parameter like 'COM1' in the .exe file.

    The function inside the dll should be called as: communication.open ("COM1") and returns a 'real' error.

    It would be nice if someone could help me and find the error.

    Best regards

    Hi again.

    I changed my dll except for my post of try-catch during the opening of the port to an output string.

  • Why can't I open some .dll files?

    I have an old computer a file called atmcd32d.dll that says typotheque labview vi. When I open it it shows me a library of functions of vi that I need to operate an instrument. I downloaded the drivers updated from the site of the instrument and the new file is still atmcd32d.dll, but now the guy says DLL File and does not open. When I double click nothing happens. When I transfer the file from your old computer to the new it still opens.

    Do I have to extract the .dll files or what?

    TSCline-

    DLL is linked dynamically, libraries.  They are a binary format that can be run only on machines from the base of the window (and not on Macs).  It should not be possible to open a dll (if you opened it in Notepad you should see nonsense).  To use the dll, they must first be compiled and linked to your OS.  Then, you must know the hooks into the dll.  In Labview, you interact with through the node to call a library function of dll, and it must know how the function is called, you can correctly specify the parameters of entry and exit (a header file will tell you which functions are available in the dll and how to interact with them).  I think you can find more info on ATMCD32D.

    I hope this helps.  Cheers, Matt

  • Effective way to make and receive pointers with C/C++ DLLs in LabVIEW

    What is the best way to pass a handle using the dll programmed in Labwindows/CVI between call node of the Labview library?

    I read a very useful on post

    https://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-9080/version/5 on and the reception of pointers with dll C in Labview.

    However, my request is for the Labview interface with a camera.  In the camera API, it defines

    #define void * CameraHandle

    And then a CamHandle variable should be used by a lot of other functions.

    In CVI, if not used as DLLs in Labview, I would

    Sub OpenCamera()

    {CameraHandle ;} CamHandle

    Sub SetParameter (CameraHandle CamHandle)

    {

    }

    void CloseCamera (CameraHandle CamHandle)

    {

    }

    If CamHandle is a type void *, how can I make it since one node/function in Labview when I use the Setup to call a library function?  In the post I read, it say how to get the value of the arrow tip using a pointer to the value, and then dereferencing pointer.  However, what I need, is to pass the pointer itself.

    Thank you very much!

  • Python, call DLLs in LabVIEW: Fatal internal error when accessing output String Cluster

    Hello

    We have compiled a DLL in LabVIEW (TestError.dll) and tried to call it from Python.

    TestError.dll includes 2 functions:

    1 testErreur: cluster 1 entry string, 1 channel indicator

    2 TestError2: 1 channel input, 1 bunch of output string

    What we try to do in Python is actually something like this:

    1 provide values to controls in the functions of the DLL.

    2. call the DLL.

    3 get the values of the indicators.

    What we have seen are:

    1 read/write operations on normal data types (string, digital) indicators/controls are OK

    2. write operation on the Cluster string entry is OK

    3. read operation on the Cluster output string is not OK. The following error is still prompted for:

    «Unrecoverable internal error: 'MemoryManager.cpp', line 437.» LabVIEW version 8.6... »

    Also joined the TestError.prj and python code.

    Grateful if someone can help to explain why we get this error and how to overcome?

    Thank you

    howmean

    What we have seen are:

    1 read/write operations on normal data types (string, digital) indicators/controls are OK

    2. write operation on the Cluster string entry is OK

    3. read operation on the Cluster output string is not OK. The following error is still prompted for:

    «Unrecoverable internal error: 'MemoryManager.cpp', line 437.» LabVIEW version 8.6... »

    Also joined the TestError.prj and python code.

    It is very logical that it does not, and the bad news is, it cannot really be implemented reliable of a process not LabVIEW.

    LabVIEW channels (and tables) are very specific species. They are then called handles, which are pointers to a pointer to a block of memory. If you have a control or indicator on its own, the Prototype configuration allows you to configure this setting as a C. LabVIEW data pointer, when creating the DLL, create heels C for each exported function and place the code to do the translation between the past C pointer to and necessary LabVIEW data handle. For strings and arrays within the cluster, there is no configuration option and the DLL is expected to pass a structure with data handles native LabVIEW in there.

    You may say that creating handles data in your calling process enough to trick LabVIEW. For the input variables that actually CAN sometimes work (but is a delicate and dangerous generally to handle this). There is no way to make it work for output variables. LabVIEW will try to resize handle to fill data in that he wants to make. This resizing is done using internal memory manager of LabVIEW. This will work only if it had been allocated by EXACTLY the same instance of the memory manager. Otherwise, it refers to a different memory segment and catastophally fail. The only way to make this work perhaps, with luck, taking your heart and prayer to the gods, is to lvrt.dll to allocate a handle that you must pass to the DLL. Still find the good lvrt.dll, which will execute your DLL LabVIEW is a major challenge.

  • DLL crashes LabView 2013 Pro, but good to EXE

    Hello

    I started having a problem older "degenerate." I had a previous post about a dll which plays a role of interface between a program running under Windows and LabView. The details are here:

    (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/installed-program-no-comm-with-driver/m-p/2662503/highlight/true#M79...

    Today - unknown reason - after a win system restart I can not run my development environment LabView code. When I run the main VI, it blocks all of the LabView environment during the first call of dll. This problem we had before also, but the 2nd of the 3rd test he ran OK. Today, I tried like 30 times, too many system restart. The native software spectroscope works very well too.

    Strange, if I run the exe to build, everything works fine. The problem appears only when I run LabVIEW. There is no error code, only a window appeared the first time, as I can send the error report to NOR. I can dig into some logs tomorrow at the lab, I just need to know where I can get.

    It seems that someone has also experienced similar behavior with external dll call:

    What is the difference between when the dll is built in the exe file, and when it is executed from the LabView dev environment?

    Thanks for any idea and help!

    (if nothing helps, I just re - build the exe after changes to the program, but it slows down some coding)

    The last time, we have no comments from the company that created this dll, I'll try to contact again...)

    Are you facing exactly the same problem?

    If Yes, then there is not much we can do. LV is an access contradication with your included DLL unless you have access to its source. You do not experience these problems with the exe since that only works on the run-time engine while the LV environment executes the code in a different way (why LV reserve this special memory on which your DLL is also trying to access.

  • Return the execution of DLLS in Labview data table

    Hi all

    I have a DLL C++ which should run continuously collect new data of some hardware.

    I can call the DLL without any problem of Labview, but I wish I had access to some digital table data in the DLL in Labview (the appellant or an another VI) during its execution.

    Working in this direction, I've already got the event validation works, i.e. trigger messages to the DLLS running in VI of the caller using PostLVUserEvent().  This would solve my problem (maybe bad) if I need only a scalar or string of each event (which works fine).

    Then I tried passing a few paintings of small integers via the event (properly by changing the input type to create the user in LV event), but it did not work (empty tables or falls down... oops!).  Perhaps events are not the way to send large paintings (say 10 ^ 4-10 ^ 5 integers) anyway...

    Can anyone suggest a way to do this?  There are functions to manipulate the values in a control of LV/indicator of the DLL running?

    Thanks a lot for any assistance, MT

  • DLL of LabVIEW with arrays of strings in c ++

    I'm looking to use labview to retrieve a list of gas to a txt file and then transfer this list to gas in a C++ program.

    I thought it would be easier to just list the gas transfer a string array of the DLLs in labview to my C++ program.  However, I am not able to output the list of gas using tables; I am only able to output the pointer, not the chain that makes reference to the needle.  Of course, I have a syntactic problem with my method of output.

    I have no problem out of the list of gas via a simple string.  However, the approach of single string requires multiple calls to the relevant dll.

    My code is based on the labview dll for C++ routines example titled call of Labview DLL in Visual C++ this Passes table manages in reference (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/1518).

    I am sure that what I'm trying to make is simple enough for an experienced programmer to Labview.  However, my labview, C/C++ and experience is limited.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    My labview and C code is found in the attached zip file.  However, the basic C code and output resulting are:

    // Call DLL.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include "Array_Multiply.h" #include  #include  #include  #include  #include  using namespace std; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { TD1Hdl handle_var3; long temp; char stringout[25]; temp=25; handle_var3 = (TD1**)DSNewHandle(sizeof(TD1)); // initialize sizes (*handle_var3)->dimSize = 1; // // Gasstring is a function that outputs a Labview array of strings. // However, I can't make this work. All I am doing is outputting // memory addresses. // Gasstring(&handle_var3); cout << "\n gasstring " << *handle_var3; cout << "\n gasstring " << handle_var3; cout << "\n gasstring " << (*handle_var3)->String[0]; //cout << "\n gasstring " << (*handle_var4)->Numeric[0]); // // Gasstring3 is just a single string. There are no issues outputting // this string. // Gasstring3(stringout,temp); cout << "\n gasstring3 " << stringout; cout << " \n enter in number "; cin >> temp ; return 0; }
    

    The output of my source code is:

    I think I understood something :-)

    cost < "\n="" gasstring ="" "=""> < lstrbuf(*(*handle_var3)-=""> String [0]);

    There are some macros useful for LStrHandles in "extcode.h", LStrBuf is one of them.

    It seems that there are no problems with memory management, you did it right.

  • Named Instance/Application DLL and LabVIEW FIFO

    Hi all

    I'm working on a logging of sensor application in LabVIEW 8.5.

    Each driver (written in LabVIEW) sensor has its own loop and a named FIFO correspondent the latest read values written in. One of the pilots use VISA for RS - 232 and another DLL call to a library that is interface with a USB - I2C converter.

    The main recorder reads all the of the FIFO, concatenates the data in chronological order they are sampled from the FIFO and writes in a combined log file.

    The third recorder that I add now must be written in C the nature of the sensor with it's interface. Each new data set that comes in will be written to the file. I would like to send a message in the C program to the main recorder that includes the name and the position of all writes data; This information will be concatenated in the main newspaper for purposes of time synchronization.

    My intuition first easy synchronization is to write a VI (compiled into a DLL by using the LabVIEW application builder and called from C) who will use a FIFO named to pass a string to the C recorder for the main recorder. But I don't know how the appointed FIFOs are shared between instances of the application.

    In other words, if I have a reference to FIFO named 'test' in a VI compiled and called as a DLL and a FIFO named "test" in reference to the Application Instance main (or specific application instance to the project running on the same Windows computer), point to the same structure? Alternatively, they are specific to each instance? If they are specific to each instance, what do you suggest me as a method to be less hassle to get data between instances of the application?

    Thanks in advance!

    Bradley Hughes

    Queues, semaphores etc. are not shared between all instances of the application (although they were in LabVIEW 8.0, but it really was a bug). But just because you call a DLL that uses a DLL of LabVIEW with a queue does not necessarily mean that you work in two different application instances. If however you intende to write an independent C program that runs in a separate way of the process you can certainly not connect to a queue of LabVIEW in this way. The LabVIEW DLL will be loaded in the runtime LabVIEW according to but part of your C program process.

    Even if it would make you a C DLL that you call your LabVIEW application and calls said LabVIEW DLL to communicate through the queue, you can be problem. This will not work unless the DLL of LabVIEW and the LabVIEW application that calls your DLL is written in the same version of LabVIEW. In this case, the DLL is loaded into the LabVIEW development system already running or in the case of a DBMS built in the running system. Once your main application LabVIEW and the LabVIEW DLL are not the same version, the DLL will be launched out of process in the enforcement system according to itself, that it really run in its own process.
