Make a DLL with LabView??

[Juan Miguel Delgado García de Soria]

Hi LabViewers!!

I'm doing a program with C++Builder and I would like to use some
features from LabView, and I think that I can do that creating a dll
with LabView but I dont know if this is possible. Could someone tell me
if there is another way on making this task?

Thanx in advance.
Juanmi.

You can't make a dll with LabVIEW you can however call dlls built with
Visual C++ or Visual Basic or a host of other C compilers. I haven't ever
written a LabVIEW dll with a Borland product but I don't see why you
couldn't.

LV can't build DLLs yet. If you are using a recent version, > 5.0, then
you can use the server interface to have LV carry out an execution and
pass back the results. This will work in a separate EXE, even on another
computer if that helps.

The server works LV->LV over TCP, and it also supports ActiveX; so other
environments can control it and have it do executions for them. There
are also some C++ classes on the ftp site that make the ActiveX controls
a little more natural in C++.

Mira Juan yo tambien estaba en el mismo dilema tratando de usar el IMAQ
vision despues de realizar cierta programacion a unos micros. Para evita
todo el trabajo de un DLL o cualquier cosa, utilice SOCKETS en Builder y
TCP en LabVIEW es muy sencillo y obtienes respuestas facilmente.

El programa en Builder utiliza un Server Socket en un puerto como SERVIDOR
(por decir 5501) y un Client Socket en 5502 para escribir. Al contrario,
labView abre una coneccion TCP en 5501 para leer (TCP Listening) y un TCP
conection en 5502 para mandar datos a LabView.
