LVOOP and DLL creation

[Taki1999]

So our integration group is evaluating a variety of different test executive programs. Currently we use NI TestStand and use LVOOP for device and communication control. Despite my own personal preferences for NI Tools, I want to make this a fair fight and provide the testers with a DLL that they can use to perform the same functions.

Unfortunately, the Application Builder doesn't allow building DLLs from Classes. Does anyone know a workaround? I suppose I could write some wrapper VIs and generate a DLL from that. I was really hoping for something simpler though.

Currently on Windows8 and LabVIEW2011.

Have you seen this thread?

There's not really a workaround unless you create wrapper VIs that pass the classes around inside of the DLL.

Thanks for the thread.

I kind of figured that would be the case.

I swear I did a search on "LVOOP and dll" and somehow managed to miss that thread.
