I am not familiar with (.lib), do you mean (.llb)? LabVIEW 6.1 did not have (.lvlib).

In what way? Do you get an error message? Are the VIs themselves operational in 8.2?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The .lib file is like the library in instr.lib file.

As i know, one library file may be got few vi, so that when i need to convert the library to DLL, it cant success.

However, i got try convert one by one vi, it seen ok.

i dont know why we can convert the vi but can once time convert the library to DLL. 

Please advice.

Thanks

I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you are saying.

When you create a dll, you select one or more VIs as exported functions in the dlll. Since it sounds like you can do that, it does not seem like you have a problem at all.

I think he may be looking to see if there's a way to create a DLL from a LabVIEW library in a one-step operation rather than adding each VI individually. This is not possible, as far as I know.

To OP: There are two different types of libraries in LabVIEW: .llb and .lvlib. There is no .lib. "instr.lib" is just the name of the directory.
