Labview and C++ : just for experts

This is my problem:

I have a SGS Thompson micro that is programmed with a multithreaded program
made with C++ Builder (our developing compiler). This program uses 4
parallel port at a computer running win NT. Four micros can be programmed at
a time. But now I need make some Vision test to some Leds the micros turn on
or off.
Im considering the next solution: Main program in C++ Builder, Vision test
with Labview. I need the multihread of C++ builder,and the Vision
capabilities of labView. For this solution I was thinking about converting
my LabView program into CVI program to create a DLL and call this DLL from
C++ Builder.

Other solution is to buy Component Works Vision for C++, but the price is
almost $2500 dlls.

Su
ggestions will be y salvation !!!!!!!!!!!

You can also have data returned from LV to the C++ program or
vice-versa. LV
can communicate to other apps through TCP, DDE, command line, sh
ared DLLs,
or an Automation interface. If you want the C++ program to get data back
from LV, you may want to look at the LV5 C++ classes on the ftp/support
site. They make it a bit easier to wrap the data up into variants to talk
to the LV server interface.
