You can't. A LabVIEW control is a LabVIEW internal object that has no direct link to any OS object entity on any platform it runs on. As such other applications would have no means to access that control object or interact with it in any meaningful way.

 

Instead you should probably look into ComponentWorks from National Instruments. That is a collection of ActiveX (and .Net?) controls similar to the ones you find in LabVIEW, and those can be embedded into Visual Basic or any other development environment that allows embedding ActiveX controls.

If it is a whole application [UI], then you can build your LV code as DLLs & call them in VB/VC++ or .Net.

For just Control/Indicator, I m not sure how to do that...

 

BTW, did you try out the NI Measurement Studio? It is meant for code devp using VB/VC++/.Net as such.
