using channel api to send messages

[wana be prog]

I currently have a program written using frame API.  What I am trying to figure out is, can I write the hexidecimal messages to channel API?  I have been looking at the examples and what not and it appears to me that you can only write integers with the write method in channel.  Do I need to change all of my messages from hexi to integer in order to write CAN messages?  

Thanks Fred

What examples are you looking at? Are you referring to using the CAN Write VI from the Channel API palette?

This VI takes a numeric as an input. For any numeric, you can change the display format by right-clicking on the icon on the block diagram and selecting Display Format...  This will allow you to change from base-10 to hexadecimal format.

If this does not make things more clear, attach a screenshot or small example to see what we are working with.

Regards
