Creating DLLs with Labview 6.0i

[knarf]

Hi Guys ...

Stupid Newbie Question:

I'd like to call my LabView Vi's from a Visual Basic Program. I used the Application Builder to create a SharedLibrary DLL and used the NI-Tutorials to declare and call the Function in my Visual Basic Program. The Vi is running, but the Front Panel is missing. For some reason, even when the Vi Setting Option "Remove Front Panel" in the Application Builder is set to "no", I cannot get the Front Panel popped up. Does anybody know a Solution for this?

Thanks, Frank

Not sure about this, but at least in LV 5 there's a vi setup option called "show front panel when called" did you select it?
Hope this helps

In LV6 I found that Options - well, I think that's the same Options - under File/VIProperties/Execute/Suspend when called but it doesn't help. There's still no Front Panel popping up ...

Thanks anyway

"Suspend when called" is included in my options too, but is not the same as "show front panel when called" under vi options (right clicking in the vi's icon after opening it).

I had a look in the Manual and find a bunch of properties which don't show up on my VI-Setup. In the LV6 Manual stands, that these properties "can be set on non-editable VIs" only. We are running here also another system with LV5 and there I found some more Properties, inlcuding "show front panel when called". So I think some Properties got "lost" or are no longer neccessary !? Respectively I have to switch my VI to non-editable ... however I can do this ...
