Using NIDAQ API's to get info on virtual channel setup

[moto]

Need to be able to retreive info about virtual channel settings (enumerate virtual channel names and get info such as help text etc) that were set up using the MEX tool.

Hello;

Unfortunately, there is no NI-DAQ functions that access the information on the virtual channels.

OK - Is there any way at all to get access - i.e. other libraries/components?

Yes moto, here I attached a program for you to use, you can access the information for the channels.

Thanks, however is there any way I can do the same thing programmatically from a C++ application (I am using Visual C++)?

hi moto, I checked on the Visual C++ side, at least for now I did not see a function that goes out to read the virtual channel settings in MAX, what you could do though, is to build a DLL in LabVIEW and introduce this DLL in Visual C++, but don't forget to include the LabVIEW runtime if you do it.
