Hello everyone,
I have a problem when i want to control my front panel on my smartphone. I send to you a screen shot. I've just a blank vi. It's the same when I use an other computer. When I try on my computer (where the main Vi is), no problem, i can take control normaly.
I'm to the university, I've a box here and I don't know if my problem come from this.
Thanks.

Hello,
thanks for your answer, yes I followed all the steps and I have the same problem.
A blank vi with no error message so it's strange.
I tried this time with an other computer.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure remote front panels relies on Silverlight, and there for only useful in IE or Edge browsers on desktops.
That being said there is a better way! Actually there are about a dozen better ways but let me highlight the one I like the most (cause I helped develop it).
Here is the latest version of some code posted on LAVA. All that is needed is to drop down a VI on your block diagram at the start of execution and it will create an HTML5 webpage that allows to view and control your VI. From that computer you can open the HTML file and should be able to see and interact with it using localhost. There is an example that you should just be able to hit run and see it running in a browser. Having it work outside of that computer requires a webserver, and earlier in the thread I go through some of the steps of downloading XAMPP, setting it up and having it link to the HTML code created. Using this solution I've viewed and controlled LabVIEW VIs from my smartphone on Chrome, but also tested it on Firefox, and IE, in Windows and RT Linux.
That being said if you don't like that option there are many others, a few from NI, which I have some experience with but prefer a more open solution, and one that really only requires on VI on the block diagram.
