inpout32 run well in c# but problem in vb6

[MCHOUD]

Dear All

I got a program which is utilizing inpout32 developed with c#, unfortunately the developer has gone. Now i want to continuing the programming with vb6. This inpout32 is controlling 3 unit of seven segmen digital display box, every box is having 3 characters.

Display box whill showing the number which is send from database, for example, box one displaying 123, box2 is displaying 221, box3 displaying 331. There is no problem while using C#, when i trying to developing vb6, the display could not showing what we have sent.

The following is the right code of C#


class LPT
{
// Call OutPut function from DLL file.
[DllImport("inpout32.dll", EntryPoint = "Out32")]
public static extern void Output(int adress, int value);

// Call Input functionfrom DLL file
[DllImport("inpout32.dll", EntryPoint = "Inp32")]
public static extern int Input(int adress);



}


private void ShowNumber(string nomor, int iloket)

{
string satuan;
string puluhan;
string ratusan;

try
{
satuan = nomor.Substring(nomor.Length - 1, 1);
puluhan = nomor.Substring(nomor.Length - 2, 1);
ratusan = nomor.Substring(nomor.Length - 3, 1);

LPTCall(int.Parse(satuan));
LPTCall(int.Parse(puluhan));
LPTCall(int.Parse(ratusan));
LPTCall(iloket);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}

}


private void LPTCall(int angka)
{
try
{
LPT.Output(888, angka);
LPT.Output(888, angka + 128);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
}


And the following is my not working vb6 codes, what s wrong with this
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim sat, pul, rat, loket As Integer
sat = 1
pul = 2
rat = 3
loket = 1

Out 888, sat 'perintah ini sama dengan out val("&H"+"378"),sat
fctPause (10)
Out 888, sat + 128
fctPause (10)
Out 888, pul
fctPause (10)
Out 888, pul + 128
fctPause (10)
Out 888, rat
fctPause (10)
Out 888, rat + 128
fctPause (10)
Out 888, loket
fctPause (10)
Out 888, loket + 128
fctPause (10)
Out 888, 0
fctPause (10)
Out 888, 0 + 128
fctPause (10)
Out 888, 255
fctPause (400)
End Sub

Thanks for any kind helps

Why on earth would you take a program written in a nice modern language such as C# and want to port it to the ancient VB6??! VB.Net I could understand maybe!

I'm not an expert with VB6 but how have you mapped Out to the InpOut DLL funcitons? Can you show me where you are calling the DLL functions?

There are examples of using InpOut in VB6, if not on my website. They should provide more than enough detail to get you going with this.

Let me know if you cant find the info you are looking for there and I will try and dig it out for you.

Thanks,

This is my inpout declaration

Declare sub Output Lib "inpout32.dll" Alias "Out32" (ByVal address as long, ByVal value as long)

Declare function Input lib "inpout32.dll" Alias "Inp32" (Byval address as long) as long

OK, maybe that is your problem then....

You have declared the functions as Output and Input but your code appears to be calling Out and not Output?

Try this instead....

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim sat, pul, rat, loket As Integer
sat = 1
pul = 2
rat = 3
loket = 1

Output 888, sat 'perintah ini sama dengan out val("&H"+"378"),sat
fctPause (10)
Output 888, sat + 128
fctPause (10)
Output 888, pul
fctPause (10)
Output 888, pul + 128
fctPause (10)
Output 888, rat
fctPause (10)
Output 888, rat + 128
fctPause (10)
Output 888, loket
fctPause (10)
Output 888, loket + 128
fctPause (10)
Output 888, 0
fctPause (10)
Output 888, 0 + 128
fctPause (10)
Output 888, 255
fctPause (400)
End Sub

???
