Documenting Call Library Function Nodes

[Götz Becker]

Hi,

I have the "pleasure" to try to check and document a set of .dll-wrapper VIs. My main problem is that I need to check the call setups.

Is it possible to programmatically get the "Function Prototype" string displayed in the configure window of a Call Library Function Node?

I tried to print the VI documentation but I only get a picture of the BD. Using an invoke node with the VI-ref, I also only get access to the BD image. I have seen the new display option in the 8.2 Version for names in the connector. But the project is in 8.0.1 :-( . And even with the name display I don´t see the exact call setup like how strings are passed.

Any ideas or hints?

Thx in advance

It can be done... With scripting..

The attached example return the function prototype string you want. This eample just assumes a VI with only one call-lib node on the diagram.. I created this in 8.2 and backsaved to 8.0, so I hope this works in 8.0.

Good luck!

Great... works like a charm!

I guessed that scripting is the way to go but I didn´t know where to start.

Hello Jeffrey,

unfortunately the link you've posted is out of date.

Would it be possible to attache the example again?

Thank you!
