Hello Naderus,

If you are just wanting to have a 3D graph in CVI you could use the Measurement Studio ActiveX 3D graph. 

This KnowledgeBase article explains how to use it:

There is also a CVI example that uses 3D graphs.  With the default installation you can find it here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\CVI85\samples\userint\activex

Hi naderus,

You cannot directly use any of the LabVIEW UI native components in a CVI UI unless that native component is just some ActiveX control that has been wrapped by VIs.  I say this because CVI does allow hosting of ActiveX controls in the UI.

With regards to Measurement Studio, it depends upon which components you are talking about as Measurement Studio includes .NET and ActiveX UI components. Since CVI does allow you to host ActiveX controls on the UI, you can use the Measurement Studio ActiveX controls in CVI. We actually include the Measurement Studio 3D Graph ActiveX control in the CVI installer and LabVIEW installer for use in those environments.

If you see some UI control that would like to see in CVI, please submit a product suggestion to us indicating this.

Best Regards,
