How to open a localy stored .htm-file in a LabView browser window?

[ulrichmayer]

Hello,

my problem is the following:
On my computer I have stored  some .htm-files and I wish to let LabView display the HTML-site in a browser window. Or to reword, how can I lead LabView to read the HTML source code of a localy stored HMTL-file and let LabView display the HTML-site in a LabView browser window?

Thanks alot in advance for your tips,

Best wishes,
Ulrich

LabVIEW itself does not have a built-in ability to format and display HTML, but if you're on Windows, you can drop an ActiveX container on the front panel and place a browser object in it (on my system, the IE object is called "Microsoft Web Browser" and it has a Navigate method which accepts a URL).

The other option is to use the Open URL in Default Browser VI (from the Help palette) which will open a new window and should work on all platforms.
