Using LV buttons in VC++

[srini]

I would like to know whether it is possible to use LV buttons, meters, graphs sort of things in VC++. Can I include these things & display in my VC++ program?

LabWindows-CVI provides the libraries for similar buttons.
You can create the look & feel of LabView, except no wires 😉

I am not sure if you can use the ones from LV into your C++ program..
And if you have LV, then it is easier to use your C++ code within LV.

I believe that you can; sort of. What you can do is create panels in LabVIEW, build them into a dll application and call them from C++. This is probably not really what you are after, however.

National Instruments also offeres Measurement Studio that would work far better with Microsoft's Visual Studio (VB, VC++, C#). Try looking into it.

Link to NI's Measurement Studio

Hope that this helps,

Hi Bob,

I wanted to propose something similar to what you proposed.
However, I was unsure at how NI would feel if you "borrow" from their library to develop you're own thing on NON-NI tools, such as VC++.

Actually, since I brought up the topic, here goes: " how does NI feel about "borrowing" from their library? "
Let's extend that to the LW-CVI library..
