Using the neoVI API in Borland C++ Builder - neoVI API

Do the following steps to use neoVI in Borland C++ Builder:

1) Start your new project and add the Dynamic link helper files to your project.

2) Add a #include "icsneo40DLLAPI.h" to your project

Figure 1 - include for “icsneo40DLLAPI.h”

Figure 2 - “icsneo40DLLAPI.cpp” added to project

3) Use the Functions "LoadDLLAPI" to load the functions and "UnloadDLLAPI" to unload the functions. Examples are below.

 //-----Load the DLL
 if(!LoadDLLAPI(hDLL))
 {
 //problem, close the application
 printf("Problem loading Library\r\nMake sure icsneo40.dll is installed and accessable\r\nPress any key to Exit");
 }

 //-----Unload the DLL
 UnloadDLLAPI(hDLL);

4) Finally, call the methods as defined in the he Basic Operation document.

Example

A Borland C++ Builder example (Figure 1) is included to show how the API all works together. The example files are included in the following file: BCBneoVI.zip (31kB)

The example shows how to open and close communication to the driver, send messages and read messages on the networks.
