IVI-COM Drivers in CVI

[Rupert Bear]

How can I develop and/or use IVI-COM instrument drivers in CVI? The
IVI driver wizard seems to be C interface oriented.

You need C++ compiler/linker such as Visual C++ for driver
development. Possible to use C for using drivers, but it will
have some difficulty.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought. I believe IVI defines C
wrappers for COM drivers and vice versa, but I haven't looked at the
details. I wonder how NI will develop its products to support COM
based driver development if it becomes popular.

C wrapper is optional for IVI-COM drivers. To develop an IVI-COM
driver with CVI, it at least needs to support C++ feature and a MIDL
compiler.
