Pass data back to calling VB from built LV App

[Matt_Dennie]

First, let me say I know there are other options, but due to certain constraints I'd like to pass data back to Visual Basic from a built LabVIEW application (EXE).

Visual Basic is calling the LV app EXE and passing values through the command line.

Does anyone know a technique that would be able to return data to the calling VB application?  Maybe stdout?

Thanks!

how about a custom made dll (which sits in LV application )that will pass the data back to VB?

Or you can even write the value to a file and read the same in VB later (offcorse i do not recommend this since unnecessary file operations are involved)

If you want to build a single file with a VB top level, I agree with Guru, create a shared library (DLL) that you can call from VB.

Check out the LabVIEW Help files on how to create Shared Libraries
