K8055.dll usermanual

That may be of help. There's a VB section towards the end with the paramters info. You might be able to write your own interface?

I have tryed to make an interface but it seems the VB version is detailed and could really help. The thing is I dont know VB. Could you have a look at my interface and tell me what could be causing the crashes.

Edit: Looked up SUB. I guess im missing a virtual command in my interface?

Here it is:

long __stdcall OpenDevice(long CardAddress);typedef long (*OPENDEVICE)(long CardAddress);void __stdcall CloseDevice();typedef void (*CLOSEDEVICE)();void __stdcall ClearDigitalChannel(long Channel);typedef void (*CLEARDIGITALCHANNEL)(long Channel);void __stdcall SetDigitalChannel(long Channel);typedef void (*SETDIGITALCHANNEL)(long Channel);void __stdcall OutputAnalogChannel(long Channel, long Data);typedef void (*OUTPUTANALOGCHANNEL)(long Channel, long Data);void __stdcall ClearAnalogChannel(long Channel);typedef void (*CLEARANALOGCHANNEL)(long Channel);HMODULE dll;OPENDEVICE KOpenDevice;CLOSEDEVICE KCloseDevice;CLEARDIGITALCHANNEL KClearDigitalChannel;SETDIGITALCHANNEL KSetDigitalChannel;OUTPUTANALOGCHANNEL KOutputAnalogChannel;CLEARANALOGCHANNEL KClearAnalogChannel;//and in main	dll = LoadLibraryEx("k8055D.dll", NULL, 0);	if(!dll)	{		cout<<"dll not loaded"<<endl;	}	KOpenDevice = (OPENDEVICE)GetProcAddress(dll, "OpenDevice");	if(!KOpenDevice)	{		cout<<"load prob"<<endl;	}	KCloseDevice = (CLOSEDEVICE)GetProcAddress(dll, "CloseDevice");	KClearDigitalChannel = (CLEARDIGITALCHANNEL)GetProcAddress(dll, "ClearDigitalChannel");	KSetDigitalChannel = (SETDIGITALCHANNEL)GetProcAddress(dll, "SetDigitalChannel");	KOutputAnalogChannel = (OUTPUTANALOGCHANNEL)GetProcAddress(dll, "OutputAnalogChannel");	KClearAnalogChannel = (CLEARANALOGCHANNEL)GetProcAddress(dll, "ClearAnalogChannel");

Thanks a bunch

Exactly. Way to go!
You need to dynamically load your DLL and setup function pointers
using GetProcAddress(). Since you have all the prototypes, this
ought to be no problem at all.

Cheers,
Pat

[EDIT]You already did it [smile] - try to change long to int - BTW, don't you have a C/C++ header file, too?
You should use the declarations from there and just add function
pointer definitions to the functions, as you already did.

Well I changed long to int but it still crashes if I use the SeDigitalOutput command a couple of times.
Wheres the damn memory error. Something isnt declared correctly yet.

In VB, if you see ByRef - take that to mean a pointer. If it's ByVal, just use the straight value. Long == int, Short == short, Byte == unsigned char

Thanks for the tip but its still crashing.
It must be some detail thing in my declaration.

Do you have the functions hooked correctly? And is it the correct version of the Library?

I only declared the functions Im actually using.
They are declared as I posted a couple posts back.

Sorry I can't help you more [sad]

One thing I find interesting though is that the document (user manual) I linked before doesn't talk about SetDigitalOutput at all. Weird.

Yes very strange. Well thanks for stinking with me so long.

Maybe Ill just write an interface in borland c++ and try to include that.
