Using variants in Call Library Function Node parameters

[mefitzpatrick]

Can I use Call Library Function Node to send variant data?

Attached is a VI. Here's the C code:

int MM_FUNC mmDaqDll_407DB
    ( IN char *pcUdlPath
    , IN char *pcTableName
    , IN void *pvData
) {
    int nStat = 1;
    //System::Object *varData = ((System::Object *)vData);
    MessageBox(NULL, pcUdlPath, pcTableName, 0);
    return nStat;

} // mmDaqDll_407DB()

I get the void pointer. I was hoping for a solution that did not use void*.
What is the best way to pass void data to a DLL?

Hi Mefitzpatrick,

Here is a similar forum that addresses this issue:

They mention using the Adapt to Type property of the function node inputs, have you tried this?

Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.
