windows event

[pdx]

Hello,

I use LV6.1 and IMACVision, and I need to wait for an event send by an other application (from DLL); Where can I find informations or VI to define (Create, Reset, Kill, Read) events with WINNT 2000 platform.

Thanks.

In LabVIEW 6.1, there is no way to programmatically create, reset, etc. events. The only events that are accepted are events created by direct user interaction.

You will probably want to look into other routes of communication between the other application and LabVIEW.

Sorry, my LV version is 6.0

But with new LV6.1 it seems to be possible to generate an event programmatically, but is it possible to read an event from other application ?

For the other solution, my other application don't work with sending Windows message, so...

thanks.

I don't know if applies to your application, but in case it is possible to transform the external code (that dll) into ActiveX, you can capture it's events (see axevent example in "lv folder\comm\")

Hope I understood the problem

Exact, I will have to developp my own DLL to control windows events and to be call from LV6.0 .

thanks & best regards.
