unable to select functions in call library function on mac

[LVCoder]

Hi All,

I am unable to select the functions in the call library function node on mac. The drop down button to select the functions is disabled.

I have LV 2012 SP1 running on Mountain Lion.

I am using a framework created by a 3rd party developer. On his machine, with same LV and OSX version, he is able to select the function from the drop down list.

I also D/Led the framewrok example from http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A6A6371FE0EA333B86257015005E3400?OpenDocument and have the same issue.

Is there anyone who has also encountered the same problem? 

Thanks,

Ritesh

This behavior typically means that the call library function node cannot recognize any functions in the external code.  Try to read functions in a few other DLLs to see if your call library function node can recognize the functions.  If you can post the library you are trying to use, we can see if the functions are recognized on a windows system.

Ritesh,

The framework in the NI example you linked has only one function, AddXY, which is why the function selector is grayed out.  The documentation mentions that only one function exists but does not point out that as a result the Function selector does nothing.

I have been able to get the Call Library Function Node to work on my Mac, but it often seems quite mysterious. This is particularly true if the code in the framework is not well documented.

I tried other system frameworks and had the same issue.. I tried all the frameworks under /Library/Frameworks/ and the dropdown function was disabled for all the frameworks.

The framework is developed by a third party developer and we have sort of Intelectual Property contract with him, so, unfortunately I can't post the framwork here.. I will try to use it on a windows system myself and post back the results, but I suspect if I'll be able to use framworks on windows OS.
