remote front panel

[tonitpp]

Hi,

I have my application running and I would like to control and view its front panel from another computer (client). What is the best, easiest and simpliest  way to do it? Are there some modules in LV that make it automatically? I don't have much time to implement it. Any examples?

Thanks to everybody,

ToNi.

A VNC program will allow you to remotely control the pc but the built-in remote panel feature will allow you control a VI from a client within a browser. The on-line help has a section on remote front panels. It explains how to set up the web  server and how to publish a VI. It's all pretty simple. The client needs to have the correct version of the LabVIEW run-time engine installed. You can have a link in the published web page to NI's site where the run-time engine be be installed from.

Yes, I can publish my front panel but.... I see that my custom runtime menu doesn't appear in the web browser, I only can view the front panel but I don't control it, I would like to enable some objects of the front panel and disable some other ones. Is this the only solution? for example, if I have a button in the front panel I want the user can click it from the web browser and I would like other to disable objects, for example that user couldn't click another button. Finally to publish this I must go to labview menu->tools->web publishing tool... but I want to publish it when it is running in real time and publish it when the server (the front panel of the vi that I want to view in the client) detect some client connects to it.

I don't know if you understand me, sorry, If you don't understand me I try to explain you better later, sorry again,

Thanks,

I request control now, and I can see my custom menu and operate with my application 🙂 but I have a problem..... My application is an MDI like MS Office, where you have a parent window and all the other windows (child windows) inside it and...... through a web browser... it doesn't work... Any solution? And how can I enable or disable the objects of the front panel I want with web publishing tool?


Thanks,

Hi again,

is web publishing tool the best way to publish my application through a web? or are there other ways more efficient?

I would like to publish my application through a web browser and enable and/or disable the items I want. How can I do it? For example if I have an vi with two buttons that one button is enabled and the another one not through the web.

Thanks,
