How do I set up a VI to run in a multithreaded function in Visual C++?
I've used LabVIEW 6i to create a dll that has a function that, when
called, creates a file and then writes the time and a random number to
that file. I can call the function from Visual C++ 6.0 fine: it
creates the file and writes the data. However, that's only in a
straight call.
Due to the nature of this project, I need to include this call in a
multithreaded portion of the program. However, when I make the LabVIEW
dll call part of the multithreaded portion of the Visual C++ program,
the LabVIEW function no longer runs. In fact, the thread ends at the
call to the LabVIEW dll; any statements beyond that call are not
executed.
I use the following to
call the function that contains the LabVIEW dll
call:
pLVSendThreads = AfxBeginThread(SendToLabView, &DataToSend);
//MFC multithreading start
However, if I do just a straight call like this:
SendToLabView(&DataToSend);
....I don't have any problems.
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott
