How can I make a directory in an RT target, CVI 8.1

[deroth47]

I need to create a new directory structure on an RT target (desktop ETS) using LabWindows/CVI 8.1.  The Utility Lib only shows GetDir and SetDir as available for real-time targets.  A previous post mentioned that some windows SDK functions (like FindFirstFile) had been ported to RT.  Are there any library functions available for directory creation in CVI 8.1?

Hi deroth47,

It is true that some Windows SDK functions are available on the ETS Operating System, and some are not. Do you have a specific function that you want information on? I might be able to find something if you know what commands you are looking for.

I am not familiar with the Windows SDK functions.  For now, I just need to be able to do the equivalent of the CVI MakeDir function in real-time CVI 8.1, ETS.  It would be nice to have a list of the 8.1-supported SDK functions.

HI deroth,

You can find a list of all the Windows SDK functions supported in RT in the following CVI help topic:

LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module Help>>Creating Real-Time Applications>> Configuring an RT Applcation>>Windows SDK Functions Supported in Real-Time Applications

Hi everyone --

Thanks for the help.  Luis' reply is in the CVI 8.5 real-time help, but not in 8.1, which I am currently using.  I will try the CreateDirectoryA SDK function and see if that works under 8.1.  If not, an upgrade to 8.5/9.0 is in the works.
