C++ DLL in LabVIEW

[rkpat]

I have a DLL function call whose definition is

void * OpenComm(Char* device, char autodet, struct settings* setgs);

struct defn is:

struct settings

{

long baud;

char protocol;

}

how can i configure my Call Library function node for this?

i have used this before, but i have not interfaces with void* and structs!

Hi rkpat,

There's probably another way, but I pass cluster-information as an array (see attached.)

Baud may need the byte-order switched - if your DLL wants it in Big-endian format.

The Device (char *) input can probably be re-defined as a C-string - then the explicit zero-termination won't be necessary (LabVIEW will take care of it).

As you know, CLF calls can be tricky, hopefully this is at least close to what you'll need.

Cheers!
