How to automatically load function parameters when editing c/c++ DLL call?

[jacky Wang]

I built a DLL in CVI and is used in TestStand, I want this DLL to have the ability to automatically load function parameters after specifying Module pathname and function name in "Edit C/C++ DLL Call" dialog? How can I do it?

You must have a type library for your DLL to load the parameters automatically.  This can be found in the Configuration >>Target Settings >> Type Library

If you are using a CVI based DLL, you can also use the LabWindows/CVI Adapter for additional debugging capabilities.

Staring with CVI 7.1 and TestStand 3.1 you do not need a type library for TestStand to load parameters automatically. Just make sure you declare your exported functions with the __declspec(dllexport) modifier as in the following code:

__declspec(dllexport) void fun(void)
{
}
