DLL question!!!!

[Newguy100]

Hi, I need help using dll files. I am kind of new at labview. I am trying to convert my c++ files into a dll file and I just wanted to know when i export a function do i have to export another function that the previous function calls? For example lets say in labview, i want to export the operation function but this function calls the add function. Do i export both the operation and add function or just the operation function?

I would appreciate any help!!

Hi

The following link holds a document that gives you all the details about using external code in LabVIEW.

Let me know if this doesnt solve your question?

I read the section on Shared Libraries, but i can't find it. Can you tell me which page it's on?

Deciding which functions to export in a DLL is not really a LabVIEW question. If you want to call the "add" function in LabVIEW or any other language, you need to export that function. If you don't need to call it from LabVIEW or any other language, then don't.
