Componentworkts++ vs. Componentworks.

[Grant_LECO]

I am trying to get the hang of C++ programming with the NI control set. I feel pretty confident in the ANSI C based CVI environment but I get confused when I'm working from within C++.

I have CVI 5.5 installed and am running Visual C++ 6.0 Standard. I am able to create my project using the NI wizard just fine. Using the basic controls goes well until I start using more advanced controls like graphs. I'd like to just plot some values but suddenly I need NiMatrix variables and NiVectors. Is there any documentation for these? The help files come up with CW????? stuff for everything which I believe is for Visual Basic. Maybe I installed component works instead of compenaent works++? I'll check.

Anyway,
I'm not trying to do anything fancy here but I still get lost. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

The help can be reached from the Visual C++ menu under Tools->ComponentWorks++ Help. Also, I recommend you look at our CW++ examples under MeasurementStudio\VC\Examples. There are examples for all the UI objects under there. The Vector and Matrix classes are our array data types (1D and 2D). It will make dealing with arrays of numerics in VC++ much easier once you get used to them.
