How to call labview(not an ActiveX) in VB6

[Elvis_Liu]

Hi,

i want to call a vi which has been build to exe version in Visual Basic6 and using visual basic programme to press a button on the labview panel. What should i do ? i know it is simple to make labview to be ActiveX server,but i have source code about labview . Hence , i can  not recompile the labeview to be server .

So, is there any other method to achieve the same target ? Appreciate it very much!!!

Thanks

To control other windows you should use Auto-It.

The one issue you're going to have with this is that LabVIEW windows are custom drawn, and do not use standard window controls. Thus, using the "easy" functions like ControlClick won't work. You'll need to rely on using the MouseClick function, which requires providing an XY location for the click.

If you decide to use AutoIt it comes with many examples. The AutoItX interface is the one that you would use in VB code. The Help file for AutoIt also contains tons of examples.
