Question with Function GetCompName();

[Silverwolfman]

I am having some trouble when try to use the 2013 CVI function.

in the main routine I include the hearder file of GetCompName();

#include "toolbox.h"

defined the variable with 

char ComputerName[MAX_COMPNAME_LEN]; 

and in Main.c I just put GetCompName(ComputerName);

but I keep getting the error message:  error: Undefined symbol '_GetCompName@4' referenced in "f:\XXX\Test\cvibuild.test\Debug\test.obj".  everything is fine if I comment out the section of GetCompName(ComputerName);

Is there anything I missed?  Or is it because the system have compatible issue? I am using Windows 7 64bit environment.

Hello,

this function GetCompName() belongs to the Programmer's Toolbox, so you need to include the respective include file

include <toolbox.h>

Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you for the reply, I did include the library before using it with #include "toolbox.h"

But the error remains.

You also will need to add the library to your project. This can be done in two ways:

- Use the Library / Customize menu to add \toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.fp to your libraries

or

- Use Edit / Add Files to Project to add toolbox.fp to your project

Thank you for the help!

That works.
