How to get the adress of a variable

[pierrot34]

Hi,

I'm using a .dll with Labview.

One of the function of the .dll ask me to give the adress where it will write the datas.

The parameter I must pass is a string :

"ImageAddress  = 0x45678554"

So, as you see, it seems I really need to get this adress.

How can I do with Labview ?

Thanks,

Pierre

I'm afraid that you might be in trouble. In LabVIEW memory is highly dynamic which means that at the time you have evaluated the adress of a variable, formatted it in a string and passed it to the DLL, your variable is already gone from memory. Basically I would think a DLL that expects memory adresses as strings instead of as parameters is simply a joke.
