Accessing Shared Variable with Network Variable API from Delphi

[Nitsch]

Hi all,

I'm trying to translate the Network Variable API to Delphi (ninetv.dll, cvinet.h, cvidef.h). Some functions are already working. But I can't find some parameter types in the header files. For example CNVReader of the functions

int CNVCreateReader (const char *networkVariablePathname, CNVStatusCallback statusCallback, void *callbackData, int waitTime, intptr_t reserved, CNVReader *reader);

int CNVRead (CNVReader reader, int waitTime, CNVData *data);

Is CNVReader a pointer to a structure or a handle?

I've tried both "successfully" (returned value 0) but by using it in CNVRead the function it crashes with access violation.

Thanks.

I've found it. The name of the 2. function is "CNVRead" but I tried to call "CNVReader".
