How can I embed LabView windows in my front panel?

[John_Howard]

I'd like to create a LabVIEW program that opens other LabVIEW programs, and embeds their front panels in the main program window. Or even better, I'd like to be able to create an Active-X control from my LabVIEW applications. Are either of these possible? If so, any ideas how would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen the example which embeds IMAQ windows, which I could apply to any window, but the way the example is written, it depends on using an IMAQ DLL, regardless of the type of window. I don't want to have to install IMAQ just for this.

(I'm using LabVIEW 6.1 on Windows 2000)

As far as I know it's not possible. The only thing you can do is simulating that behaviour, trying to keep the child window on top of your main window, in the same position.
Anyway, I think that Measurement Studio for VB/VC++ it's a better solution for this "embedding behaviour" (if it's soimportant).

Good Luck

Set your front panel to be a child window of the main window. A child window is "embeded" in the parent, and moveing with its parent window.
