LabWindows CVI libraries in Visual C++ 6.0

[YSKIMO57]

Hello,

I'm trying to use LabWindows CVI libraries/commands in Visual C++ 6.0, but the complier complains about link problems in reading symbol tables. I put some cvi libraries in Visual C++ 'project>>settings' and 'option>>directories'.

- Is it possible, by the way, that LabWindows CVI commmands can be called in Visual C++ 6.0?
- If so, is there any information for library/link setup in Visual C++?

Wish a solution,
Young.

Hello Young,

If you have NI measurement Studio installed the Appwizard include the ability to convert an existing LabWindows/CVI project to a Measurement Studio project in Visual Studio. Using Measurement Studio will be the easiest way to implement CVI functions in Visual Studio.

Without measurement Studio installed, it is still possible to use the LabWindows/CVI functions in VS. If the errors you have are happening during the linking phase, most likely you have not included all the .lib files that are necessary to use the CVI DLLs in Visual Studio.

For more detailed information I would suggest reading How to Integrate 32-Bit LabWindows/CVI 4.0 Libraries into Microsoft Visual C/C++ or Borland C/C++.
