Active front panel to select two exe's

[suneelkv]

Hi Friends,

I've done two exe's (appications) for my requirement.

And to use the same i am building two installers and giving the same to the product team.

But i am planning for a active front panel

WHich should be similar to the getting started window of the LabVIEW.

Both the exe's should be available on the same page

EXE's

----------------------- <EXE1>

------------------------<EXE2>

On a single press like Hyperlink in word it should move to the current exe and the operation should proceed further.

Please let me know how to acheive this in labview.

I feel event based execution is one solution, but not much interested.

Cheers,

Suneel.V

Just place a string indicator for each exe on the front panel. Make foreground and background transparent. Change the indicators to disabled. Use an event sructure to catch the following events:

Mouse Enter: Change Propery of Text->Font->Underline and Text->Font->Underline to show it as link

Mouse Leave: Change Propery of Text->Font->Underline and Text->Font->Underline to show it as lnormal text

Mouse Up: Check for the left button and then start your exe.
