Genetic Algorithms

I am busy writing a genetic algorithm using C++ but I need to interface it with LabVIEW, as I will be controlling a laser from LabVIEW and the genetic algotihm will make up part of the closed loop system. Firstly, does anyone know how I would do this?
 
Secondly, is it possible to create a genetic algorithm in LabVIEW without the need for external code? Would anyone have an example of this if it has been done?
 
Thanks

I'm not sure, but I think interfacing to LabVIEW from C++ would require you to create an ActiveX server or a DLL. 

I have implemented a simple Genetic Algorithm in LabVIEW.

There is a genetic algorithm called 'Differential Evolution'.  I implemented it in Labview and it worked well for my purpose.
Under http://messages.info-labview.org/2005/01/20/27.html you will find a  link to the 'Differential Evolution' homepage where you can download my implementation.

I found a working link to Differential Evolution, as mentioned by Franz, at this berkeley page

It looks very nice (haven't tried it yet)

Thanks Franz!
