LabWindows 8.0 & LabView Integration

[skidmarks]

Is there any way for LabWindows to use LabView GUI's and I/O interfaces? If there are, is there any documentation that I can read to learn how this is done? One of our developers used LabView to generate an excellent interface to H/W with a great GUI. It would be nice if the other developer (me) could somehow make use of this. What I'd like to do is to freely disable operator input and pretend I'm the operator, or anything else that allow me to use the GUI and H/W I/F.

Hi art,

There are a couple resources available to get you started. This [link removed; article no longer available] KB talks about using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server which will enable to you call the VI already created and retrieve data from it. An example program which uses ActiveX to call your VI is installed with CVI and is found here on your hard drive: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI80\samples\activex\labview or here [link removed; example no longer available] online. The library for LabVIEW's ActiveX server is found in the LabVIEW Help under Property and Method Reference -> VI Server. This should give you a good place to get started with your application.
