bring excel to front

[Yves]

Hi
how can I bring excel to foreground when doing it not on the beginning. for example after having written some data in the sheet with activeX.
I tried to set the application to visible later in the sequence but the excel windows remains in the taskbar although it is blinking.
thanks for your help

Try the Windows Utility tools from NI.

Or, you can write some macro code in Excel utilizing the windows APIs and call it in Labview at appropriate time.

Try the Excel application reference with the Property Node WindowState set to write -4137.

VBA: Application.WindowState = xlMinimized (-4140)
and Application.WindowState = xlMaximized (-4137)

You can use ActiveX to do anything:-)
