"call other GUI(not labview GUI) in labview"

HI
I have developed a labview program for controlling a set of hardwares.  one of my hardwares have a windows based program itself(independent of labview) that contains a GUI that enable me to control the hardware.now i want to know if is it possible for me to call that GUI in my labview program and  show that in my labview GUI. i dont want to use of labview call library function.

You can do that if your GUI supports ActiveX. Learn more here.

  • Extensions is Installing under catogory called other and not Dreamweaver

    Hi
    I currently using Dreamweaver cc and extension manager cc .I installed an extension called EasyRotator Slider Builder but extension mager put the extension under a product called other and I cant see the extension in dreamweaver. Can you please let me know hoe to put this extension under dreamweaver
    Hope you guys can help.

    Hi Wynandpre,
    You will have to contact the Extension Developer to know if this is an intended behavior, extension developers are the one who define where does the extension shows up in Extension Manager or Dreamweaver.
    For this particular extension please contact the developer and ask the same question.
    Let me know if you need help in contacting this Extension Developer, will be happy to help.
    Thanks

  • Call other exe in labview

    Hi all
    how to call an exe created in vc++ in labview...

    You can use system Exec function from Connectivity-->Libraries and Executables Palette. You can call your exe, the same way you invoke it from command prompt.

  • Dynamic LabVIEW dialogue called front TestStand not coming to front

    I've created a bespoke dialogue box that does things such as auto size to the text etc in LabVIEW. We call this vi from LabVIEW and TestStand - from LabVIEW it's fine, but from TestStand it appears behind TestStand and I can't find a way to get it to appear on top of TestStand - there is obviously the 'Show front panel when called' option, but as we are doing some pre-processing before showing it we cannot use this option - I've also tried 'Fp is frontmost' in the dialogue properties but still no cigar.
    Just hoping that someone knows a way to programmatically make it appear on top of all current open windows - maybe there's some sort of Windows functionality you need to use.
    Any ideas greatly received,

    Someone here mentioned those vi's so I'm going to try and do a bit of investigation with them and see what I can come up with - had a brief look and it didn't seem to do that much so I assume that I was using them in the wrong way - and there is another problem, and that is that we have certain standalone LabVIEW vi's that do things such as calibrating power meters and it's going to be a bit of a bummer if I have to constantly pass in the TestStand sequence context to these vi's just to get them to appear on top of TestStand as then they won't be particularly standalone and it means changing alot of VI interfaces which is going to upset a lot of people!
    I'll have a play about with them tomorrow and see what I can do with them, but Ideally I'm looking for a standalone solution whereby I can have a bit of code encapsulated within the bespoke LabVIEW dialogues that just ensures that whenever they get called be it from LabVIEW or TestStand, they are always on top.
    Many thanks for your reply, and I'll get back to you when I know a bit more,

  • Create Labview application to call other installers

    I am trying to create a labview application using LabView 7.0 so that it can call several other installation applications sequentially.

    Hi jgv,
    and where is your problem?
    You can call other apps by using SystemExec...

  • Application crashes when calling DLL built with LabVIEW 2011

    Hello everybody,
    Our application calls DLLs built with LabVIEW 2010 SP1. We installed LabVIEW 2011 and built some DLLs. So far so good. If we start our application and run 2010 DLLs it still works fine. If we run a 2011 DLL just once no error happens, but if we try to run the same 2011 DLL our application crashes reporting the error below. I saved the code for 2010 version and built a DLL and it works fine. Does anyone know why?
    Thank you in advance.

    On that note, you should be able to create DLLs in 2010 and run them with 2011, correct??  In my case, I have a 2010 built DLL (talking to sbRIO), most of the functions work when run in 2011, but a couple of them lock up LabVIEW on the desktop (but not the sbRIO), no lock ups happen with 2010 on the desktop.

  • Can I call a built in LabVIEW function remotely?

    I would like to call a bunch of LabVIEW's built in GPIB functions on a
    remote computer to talk to a device attached to that computer. I was
    able to do this using VI server and by wrapping the GPIB function in a
    custom vi (this vi was just GPIB Write with controls and indicators)
    Is there a way to avoid making a "wrapper" VI for built in functions
    such as GPIB Write? i.e Open a VI reference to built-in LabVIEW
    functions remotely using VI server?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Before you buy.

    That is one of the built-in functions and not a stand-alone VI and the best way to call it is to create a VI with it on the block diagram.

  • I am trying to call a function with LABVIEW developed in CCS compiler

    I used MPLAB (CCS compiler) to develop c code that is used to transmit and receive messages to and from an automotive display. It works great as a stand alone. I would like to call this function from LABVIEW but am having difficulty doing so. Does anyone have experience calling a MPLAB developed project from LABVIEW? Thanks in advance.

    Matt
    MPLab is for programming PICs if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure how you would want to call a function compiled in MPLab from LabVIEW directly. MPLab will create binary code for execution on PICs and there is no LabVIEW that could run on a PIC. On the other hand I didn't think you could create standard Windows DLLs, Mac shared libraries or similar in MPLab at all.
    You will have to recompile your code in a C compiler that can create the standard shared library format for the plaform you want to call it from LabVIEW.

  • Labview Dll call library function Causing Labview to unload

    I am trying to use the Call Library function in Labview 7.1 to call an Init function for a Zathic Can4USB device. When I run the vi, it complete log LabView out of the computer. Can anyone tell me why the function totally unloads LV without displaying an error?
    Thanks

    Either the function has a serious bug or you are calling it with
    invalid parameters or wrongly setup parameters. The problem happening
    here is that your DLL passes somehow invlid parameters to a system
    device driver and that driver causes a protection fault. For device
    driver execeptions which happen in the privileged kernel, Windows does
    not try to attempt to message a user in such cases (other than the
    threaded blue screen of dead which when you get it really means a full
    restart) but unloads the current application as fast as possible.
    Check the documentation for this function and try to see where you call
    it srong or contact the developer of this DLL for assitence.

  • Find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs

    Hi All, I have researched this subject, i.e., to find names of all open windows including other applications besides LabView VIs, but found no solution. Could someone suggest a solution to this?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Certainly! The Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW includes set of LabVIEW libraries (llb) with VIs that make calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface (API) for managing and controlling windows (minimize, maximize, move, resize, rename, close, and so on) including task list with names of windows application running. The Readme.doc contains information on running these VIs.
    Attached below is a zipped file with a VI that list the names of all opened windows.

  • Use of swings- one class calling the gui class

    Hi,
    I have a class Manager and a class ManagerGUI.
    My ManagerGUI class looks somehting like this-
    public class ManagerGUI extends JFrame
    String name;
    JPanel namePanel;
    JTextField nameInput;
    JLabel nameLabel;
    Manager empAgent;
    ManagerGUI(Manager ea)
    super(ea.getLocalName());
    empAgent = ea;
    //make the name panel and add it to the topPanel.
    addListeners();
    getContentPane().add(topPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    setResizable(false);
    }//end constructor.
    public void show()
    pack();
    super.setVisible(true);
    void addListeners()
    nameInput.addActionListener(new NameL());
    class NameL implements ActionListener
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    nameE = nameInput.getText();
    }//end class ManagerGUI.
    I have tried to seperate it out so that any changes can be easily implemented (although it perhaps is a long way of doing things).
    Now I have a class Manager that wants to call the GUI and then process the information got from the text field.
    I use the following lines to call the GUI class.
    manGui = new ManagerGUI(this);
    manGui.show();
    Is this the correct way of calling the GUI class?
    How do I get to use the variable nameE here, in the Manager?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have no idea why you want to have an instance of Manager class in class ManagerGUI and an instance of ManagerGUI class in Manager class.
    I will create an instance of Manager in ManagerGUI and show the GUI there.
    In Manager you can create method that will accept the text from textfield in parameter.
    L.P.

  • Can i call winmain function in labview

    hello everyone,
    Well i have written a C++ code that uses the  winmain function (windows function). i want to convert this code into dll and call that dll into labview.
    Is it possible to  call winmain function as one of the functions in labview. Please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thank you.
    Royal  tiger......

    You didn't say what development environment you're using, so I'm assuming Visual Studio. It sounds like you created a Win32 app (as opposed to an MFC app). This has a "WinMain" function. The prototype for WinMain is geared towards it being called by the OS when you run the executable. You could just add the __declspec(export) directive in front of the return type, but you also need to change some build functions in Visual Studio to get a DLL. You probably also don't need all the arguments that WinMain uses. You're probably better off by starting with a new DLL project in order to get the framework for a DLL, and then copy and past the function code. That's what I would do.
    I would also strongly suggest that you crack open the "Using External Code in LabVIEW" manual that gets installed when you installed LabVIEW. It's in the "manuals" directory, filename of "lvexcode.pdf".

  • NI Developer Suite 2010 is not LabVIEW 2010

    Received new disks that read "NI Developer Suite 2010", which is misleading because this is not LabVIEW 2010, it is LabVIEW 2009 SP1. So now we have mismatched Developer Suite / LabVIEW.

  • Call another gui

    hi i m new at java fx, and i want to know how i call a gui from another gui when i press a button. For example i have mi java fx gui: loguin, and another jafa fx gui:principal. When i press the login button it should appear the principal. I designed both guis with netbeans 6.9 but i dont know who to conect both.

    You have to switch scenes. If you search this forum, you will find several examples how to do it.
    An alternative for small, transient dialogs like a login one, is to create a new stage: it will appear as a new window.
