Embed LabVIEW VI into CVI panel

[Christine]

Hello,

I have a LabVIEW vi I would like to embed into a tabbed CVI panel.  If it matters, the tabs were created using EasyTab_LoadPanels. 

I have looked in the NI Developer Zone but have not been able to find exactly what I need.  I came across this (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4345) but it doesn't work for tabbed CVI panels.  This (http://sine.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3532) describes how CVI can call a vi but I actually want to embed/load the vi panel into the one of the tabs in the CVI panel.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help!

Hi Christine, 

You are going to have to do a little mixing and matching of different examples and resources to obtain this functionality. ActiveX can be used to embed LabVIEW in CVI and the associated tabcontrol commands such as EasyTab_SetAttribute will allow you to include what you want in each tab, whether it be regular text or an embedded LabVIEW front panel. Building ActiveX Servers in LabWindows/CVI may give you more insight into this functionality. It would be more helpful if you post specific questions and can provide code that others can view when assisting you. Good luck with your project and have a great day!

Regards,

Jackie
