Youe subject and message body ask two different questions:

Can you translate vi code to c++ code: No
You can use C++ DLLs in your VI, yes. ...

Hi,

VIs cannot be translated to sourcecode for other languages. LabVIEW is a dedicated programming language with its own syntax and semantics; therefore it is on the same level as any other language like C/C++, Delphi, C# or VB. The code you will get as the result is a metacode which needs the LV RTE to run. You can compare this to the method as done in .NET.

[Edit]: If you think the way like Thomas suggests, you can create a DLL out of LabVIEW-VI by using the Application Builder and use this DLL in a C++-project. This works as well the other way round if you need to include existing c-code in your LV-application.
