Next, your application must use the Win32
get the addresses of the NI-CAN functions your application needs to use.
For each NI-CAN function used by your application, you must define a
direct entry prototype. For the prototypes for each function exported by
, refer to the NI-CAN Programmer Reference Manual. The
nican.dll
following code fragment illustrates how to get the addresses of the
,
ncOpenObject ncCloseObject
static NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *PncOpenObject)
(NCTYPE_STRING ObjName,
NCTYPE_OBJH_P ObjHandlePtr);
static NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *PncCloseObject)
(NCTYPE_OBJH ObjHandle);
static NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *PncRead)
(NCTYPE_OBJH ObjHandle, NCTYPE_UINT32 DataSize,
NCTYPE_ANY_P DataPtr);
PncOpenObject = (NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *)
(NCTYPE_STRING, NCTYPE_OBJH_P))
GetProcAddress(NicanLib, (LPCSTR)"ncOpenObject");
PncCloseObject = (NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *)
(NCTYPE_OBJH))
GetProcAddress(NicanLib, (LPCSTR)"ncCloseObject");
PncRead = (NCTYPE_STATUS (_NCFUNC_ *)
(NCTYPE_OBJH, NCTYPE_UINT32, NCTYPE_ANY_P))
GetProcAddress(NicanLib, (LPCSTR)"ncRead");
If

fragment illustrates how to verify that none of the calls to

GetProcAddress
if ((PncOpenObject

printf("GetProcAddress failed");
}
Your application needs to de-reference the pointer to access an NI-CAN
function, as illustrated by the following code:
NCTYPE_STATUS status;
NCTYPE_OBJH MyObjh;
