And of course.......

Wouldn't you know it.....I just stumbled upon success......

Here are the pertinent bits of code and how I have managed to call the functions.....

The below is not functioning code; just fragments to illustrate what worked.....
procName.s = "AndonLight"
tag.s = "Mm14.ISO_TB ...

Hi,

I think your prototype is wrong.

Try this versions:
Prototype.l pipt_findpoint(tagname.p-bstr, *pt)
Prototype.l pipt_findpoint(tagname.p-bstr, pt.l)

A string ByVal needs p-bstr.

Bernd,
Thank you very much for the examples. I tried both and they end with the same result. The ...

Hi,

for me it's not clear what you want to do:

Do you want to write a wrapper for importing the dll in PB?
Or do you want to write an own procedure which does the same as this function?

Bernd


Hello Bernd,
Thanks for the reply!! I would just like to be able to call the function in this DLL ...

In the event that it will help, here is the VB Declare for the function.

Declare Function pipt_findpoint Lib "piapi32.dll" (ByVal TagName$, pt&) As Long

Also, I am connecting to the server perfectly fine, but I just started translating code and after the connect, isconnected, and disconnect ...

Does anyone have any experience translating the PI API (piapi32.dll) from OSISoft?

I'm experienced translating it with a different language, but I'm running into an issue with PureBasic. Can someone point me in the right direction with the function listed below? I am very green with PureBasic, but ...

Samuel,

Thanks for looking everything up. All that is already set up, but I managed to copy the DLL over and it seems to be working correctly.

Thanks again to everyone!!

Yup, I've attempted that download several times over the past day, but it always fails with the following message.

It could be Windows Defender stopping the process. Add everything PB to Defender's safe list.

I tried completely disabling Windows Defender and it's still not working. It's not like the process is halted; the InitEngine3D() function just fails to initialize.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Any more ...

Has anyone else experienced any issues with InitEngine3D() using similar architecture to what's in the subject?

I recently bought a Samsung ATIV tablet and InitEngine3D() is failing when called. I have checked to ensure the DirectX DLL's are present. I know PB uses 9 and I verified that 9-11 are ...

Doesn't Notepad++ expose something like 4 of its windows' handles?

Why not bind the timer to one of those handles?

It wasn't
in order to see the different results of both code snippets, try e.g. for year = 1900.


Yeah.....while that quote is about something completely different; I get it. I just assumed that someone using the Date() function would ...
