API fonctions

[Jojo l'asticot]

Hello,

I use a software called mshape to make measurements. this one has been sold with an external modul which provides fonctions necessary to control it  with on other program. I would like to make a labview application to start measurement, etc.

i know that i must to use API fonctions (mshape constructor told me) but I don't know how. constructor spoke about "windows Messaging" and told me the fonctions that i need or in a library already instal with the external modul.

Perhaps somebody knows the steps to follow in order to control a software with Labview?

I provide an example the constructor give me in C++ to help me.

Thank you very much.

Bonjour

Pour controler un software avec Labview il faut que ton software soit client ActiveX.

Tu peux demander ce renseignement au fabricant du logiciel.

In case no ActiveX available, your other option:

1. Compile the example into dll using C, and then call the dll in LabVIEW.  Not too hard.

2. Translate C into LabVIEW, and make direct API call.  Hard, since you're not fimiliar with API.
