Can LabVIEW front panels be converted to LabWindows/CVI User Interface Files (.uir) ?

[aaronwalsh]

Hi,

I have an existing application written in LabVIEW 8.5.  To reduce the number of software tools the company uses I need to migrate the application from LabVIEW to LabWindows/CVI.

A large part of the excercise is to re-create the user interface in LabWindows/CVI.  Is there a method for converting LabVIEW format front panels into LabWindows/CVI format User Interface Files (.uir) ?

Creating a LabVIEW dll is not an option as this would still require us to have LabVIEW as a development tool if the dll functionality needs changing.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I don't think that'd work.
I don't use LabView, but the UIR _is_ the code. While in CVI you need to
write the C code that goes behind the UIR. So basically you'd have to
rewrite the whole logic behind the program even if you could keep the user
interface.

Hi aaronwalsh,

Guillaume is correct; there is no tool to do this.  Good luck with your project! Feel free to post your specific questions so we can assist with this endeavor.

Oh well, better get on with creating the panels again in LabWindows/CVI followed shortly by the C code.

Thanks for your reply's.
