What is the best way to call a LabWindowsCVI program from a Visual Foxpro application

[Alejandro Formichelli]

I have to develop a simple serial up/download program. I am going to implement it in LabWindows/CVI. The problem is that the program is going to be called from a Visual Foxpro application and I have no experience on calling routines from Windows applications. What is the best (and simplest) way to do this?.

Thank you in advance

Visual Foxpro can call functions in DLLs.  This link has more information on how to create them from CVI.  http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/1d0c73348d50de5486256faf00614757  Look at the foxpro documentation to determine if the calling format should be __stdcall like microsoft uses in visual basic, or __cdecl like microsoft uses in visual c.
