what's the differences between G# and Actor Frameworks?

[yanzhanglin]

which one is better?

[Yamaeda]

Better? That question makes no sense. They are different Tools that solves different problems.

G# is a tool that allows you to have reference based classes in LV.

AF is a design system that sends data/commands through queues.

They can be combined if you like. 🙂

So, what are you trying to build and which problem are you trying to solve?

How to create G# class in AF？？

[thols]

G# classes cannot be created in AF. Create G# classes with G#. What Yamaeda means is that both frameworks can be used in the same project.

Thols is right (as usual) 🙂

To expand on it; i haven't tried, but i assume you can use G# classes as parameters or consumers in an AF-system. I don't know when this would be a good idea, but it'd basically be like sending a DVR to some data as part of a message.

Let me add that before launching the root actor you have to start the external create process (call G#Object_StartExternalCreateProcess.vi) lest your G# class might disappear when the actor that created them stops executing.
