can I open a non labview exe inside a labview VI?

[toofast4u]

Hello,

I want to develop a labview VI that will take an input of someones mood, then based on this output a playlist of songs that are sutiable to his/her mood. However can I open a external music player like winamp, or windows media player and have it play a playlist of songs? Thank in advance

Yes you can.

Depending on which one you select, there may be a different approach.

You should look up:
"Call Library Function" if using dll's.
"System Exec.vi" if using executables.

You can create or use dll's or executables within LabView.
