Execute x secs. & close VI from VB 5.0

Question

Hi all,
I want to run a VI script from a VB program, and close it after x secs.
(where x depends from the user input in the VB exe). I tried it with the
following code (according to an example found in the doc):
vi.FPWinOpen = False 'Close front panel
Set vi = Nothing
lvapp.Quit
Set lvapp = Nothing
but ... the VI doesn't close.
What's wrong ? (I have no knowledge about LabView, and not a lot in VB too
.... ¦=)
Any help well appreciated !
tia, Markus

Answer 1

Hi again,
since I got no answer (and my posting is moving slowly down in the group
- is there a special group for this kind of problems ?
- is the question simply too stupid ?
- or just nobody ever did something like call LabView from VB ?
Maybe it's much easier to include the functions directly via some DLL's (I
think I saw somewhere an example ...) ?
I really appreciates every hint, or some other source indications ...
Thanks again, Markus
