Convert string to URL

[Apple_Green]

I need to convert a string to url  in Labview.

I found this in the example zone=

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/671

but this doesn't work on my 8.6 Version... (it is made in 5)

someone can post it in the 8.6 version ?

tnx,

K

Attached is the VI in 8.2, but an easier solution is to use the Search and Replace String function.

tnx for the quick reply !

Is there also a possibility to view webpages in Labview ? 

I mean you just insert an URL (like "www.google.be") en Labview shows the page in the front panel? 

[smercurio_fc · Accepted solution]

Yes. Add an ActiveX Web Browser control to your front panel (Controls Palette -> .NET & ActiveX -> Web Browser). Then, in the block diagram, call the Navigate method:

 

You can take a look at the "ActiveX Event Callback for IE" example that ships with LabVIEW. Open the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) and search for "ActiveX".
