using llb files in labwindows

[ghjones2]

Is there a way to use a Labview .llb file in LabWindows/CVI ?

Hi GHJones2,

Unfortunately you cannot directly use .llb files in CVI. If you are trying to use an application that you built in LabVIEW from CVI (or any other development environment), you would have to create a DLL out of your LabVIEW program. Then you can pass data from your application to your LabVIEW DLL. For information on LabVIEW DLLs, please see this link

Thanks for the reply. My application is that I am trying to use an instrument driver that is written in LabView. I have gotten to the point where I am defining the prototypes that the VIs use and I have ran across a reference to a "MagicCookie" type of variable and I can not find a reference to it anywhere as to what exactly it is.

Which instrument driver are you using? The MagicCookie data type is possibly an int32 data type, but I am not sure. Can you provide some more details as to where you found this data type and which driver you are using?
