LabVIEW Versions:

2009 SP1

Dependencies:

None

Description:

Provides a object oriented implementation of a message pump in LabVIEW. Message pumps are also commonly referred to as a message loops, event loops, or message dispatchers in other programming languages. In terms of traditional LabVIEW design paradigms, a message pump would be considered the consumer portion of many kinds of producer-consumer based architectures.

Installation and instructions:

Extract the attached zip file to a convenient location. The included lvproj file contains four examples that should give a good indication of how to get started using the MessagePump and supporting classes. Using the MessagePump in your own projects will usually only require you to add the class to the project.

Examples:

Four examples are included.

  • Basic Message Pump demonstrates a minimal implementation that defines a class which overrides only a single VI and provides a VI which uses the class.
  • Parameters extends the previous example and demonstrates how parameters can be passed to and from a MessagePump.
  • Progress Dialog demonstrates how a MessagePump might implement a user interface.
  • Callbacks is an advanced example which demonstrates how one might implement a Callback.
Known Issues:
None
Acknowledgements:
This is a simple LabVIEW implementation of an architecture which has been around for quite some time...
Version History:
v1.0.0: Initial release of the code, posted but never submitted to the CR.
v1.1.0: Inital lava.org CR submission.
v1.1.2: Added a fourth example demonstrating the use of Callbacks.
v1.1.4: Fixed a bug related to locking the MessagePump, StartLoop will now return an error 123 if the MessagePump is already in use.
