I developed an online imaging application using labVIEW, but am interested in moving to a MS Visual C++ application. Can I use the IMAQ Vision libraries in a VC++ app?
You currently have a couple of options for using IMAQ/Vision in a C++ application. You can use the ActiveX controls or the C API. Measurement Studio help includes a topic that briefly describes these two options. This topic is located in the Measurement Studio 6.0 help table of contents under Visual C++ Help>>Tutorials>>Getting Started>>Adding National Instruments NI-DAQ and National Instruments NI-IMAQ Support to Measurement Studio for Visual C++ Projects.
The Measurement Studio data types, such as CNiVector and CNiVariant contain helper methods and operations that make it easier to use a C or ActiveX API with your Measurement Studio native APIs.
What version of Visual Studio are you using? If a Measurement Studio native C++ API for IMAQ/Vision were ava ilable, would you be interested in using it?
Yeah, i'd be interested in using a native C++ API. I'm currently using Visual Studio 6.0, but I am sure that I can get my employer to upgrade to .net, if that would help --- right now i am doing a proof of concept.
