I want to convert a LabView Application to a Visual Basic Application

[Gorka Larrea]

I'm sure there's a way of making your labview executable an activeX server, and call it from Visual Basic, I mean you can create a program in labview and call it from VB, via ActiveX. You should investigate in this direction, Developer Zone is a good starting point.

When you create an executable in LV it can only run with its LV runtime engine.
As Gorka as mentioned you can share data and control between LV and VB applications.
You have several options, the easiest way is Datasocket server.
It needs some experience, here I give you tha basic concept of it.
In your LV application your create connections to datasocket of all the controls/indicators you need.
In VB you can import Datasocket as an ActiveX object, you can then develop your VB program that shares data with your LV application through Datasocket.

I suggest you an excellent book that covers all the communications topics in LV:
Internet Applications for LabVIEW
You can find it on Amazon.
Happy Easter !

You might want to investigate creating a .dll with LabVIEW 6's Application Builder.
You could call this .dll from your VB app.
