Do any body have a good example of how to use the IVI Event Server with VB6 or VB.Net?
What a want to do is catching asynchronous events generated by my equipments and do some process according to the generated event.
I'am using VB6 to develop but may change to VB.Net soon (depends on other people). I read the "IVI-3.7_EventServerSpec_v1.0.pdf" from www.ivifoundation.org and I'd do some unsuccessful trials.
VB6 is not very well geared to pass function pointers for the events callback so I think it could be a concern. That's why I figure out to switch to VB.Net but as the IVI Complient Classes are actually COM objects, may be I can face some problems.
Since none of NI's IVI drivers use the event server, we don't have any examples on how to use it. Agilent's web site might, though. There's no reason to switch to VB.NET from VB6 just to support the event server. It was designed to be a well-behaved COM component for use in VB6.
What instrumentation are you using and does it expose events through the Event Server? What were your unsuccessful trials? What events are you interested in monitoring?
