How do I avoid the Open DriverLINX dialog box when my application starts?

To avoid the Open DriverLINX dialog, provide the driver name to the application. In the case of the KPCMCIA-PIO24-C card, the driver name is kpcpio.

Typical code is shown below:

C/C++: hInstance = OpenDriverLINX(hWnd,"kpcpio");

VB: DriverLINXSR1.Req_DLL_name = "kpcpio"

Delphi: DriverLINXSR1.Req_DLL_name := 'kpcpio';

If the DriverLINX driver for KPCMCIA-PIO24-C has been installed, then the code above would load the driver.

If the driver loading fails, because maybe your application has been run on a computer where the DriverLINX driver has not been installed, then the Open DriverLINX dialog will apprear to give you another chance to select a driver. To suppress this behavior, append a dollar sign character onto the end of the driver name as shown below:

C/C++: hInstance = OpenDriverLINX(hWnd,"kpcpio$");

VB: DriverLINXSR1.Req_DLL_name = "kpcpio$"

Delphi: DriverLINXSR1.Req_DLL_name := 'kpcpio$';
