CoreTemp DLL sample for Visual Basic 6

[Dr.InSide]

Hello.

If someone need it ...

I have created a CoreTemp DLL sample project for Visual Basic 6.0.

The sample can be downloaded HERE.

[The Coolest]

Cool. Thanks for the contribution.

The file is broken, only few bytes.
Can u upload again

[Dr.InSide]

Sorry!
In my php script had an error.
Now it should work again.

[The Coolest]

Very nice.
But there seems to be a slight problem.
Core Temp apparently doesn't reset the whole character array of the processor name to zero or null. In your code you only remove nulls from the namestring.
This is the result:

[Dr.InSide]

I had already removed the zero. Apparently there were problems
with Unicode conversion. Now it should work everywhere.
The new version is now on my server.

[The Coolest]

Sorry to say, but the problem persists.

[Dr.InSide]

On my computers, I can not experience the problem.
I have no idea why. See picture.



That's the function:

Code: Select all

Public Function ByteArrayToString(ByteArray() As Byte) As String
  Dim B As Variant
  For Each B In ByteArray()
    If Not B = 0 Then
      ByteArrayToString = ByteArrayToString & Chr$(B)
    End If
  Next
End Function


[The Coolest]

You should break the loop when you reach the first null character, since in the C/C++ language null represents the end of a string.

[Dr.InSide]

Ok. Thanks for the information. The loop will now leave
at the first null. I hope it works correctly now.

Code: Select all

Public Function ByteArrayToString(ByteArray() As Byte) As String
  Dim B As Variant
  For Each B In ByteArray()
    If B = 0 Then Exit For
    ByteArrayToString = ByteArrayToString & Chr$(B)
  Next
End Function


[The Coolest]

Great, problem solved

[Dr.InSide]

Yeah! Wonderful!
Thanks for testing!

[Dr.InSide]

@The Coolest:

There is a newer version of GetCoreTempInfo.dll available (without .Net)?
I use Version 1.0 from 2008. It does not work with Intel Atom CPU.

It would be great if there exists a newer version. I extend my very old
CPU-Monitor and is now using your DLL.

Note: The CPU-Monitor is at moment only in German language available.

[The Coolest]

Could you explain the problem with the DLL and Atom CPU?

[Dr.InSide]

I have tested the DLL on a newer Netbook (Atom N455, Windows7), there
works it, but reports no CPUname (string is empty).

On my old ASUS EEE PC 901 (Atom N270) does works the DLL. But the
reported temperature is apparently too low. After switch power on report
it 0 °C, during operation 15-20 °C.

[The Coolest]

Actually that is a Core Temp issue, you should be able to see that Core Temp does show a processor name either.
It should be fixed in the next release.
