Add programm window to Labview front panel

[Eckstein]

Hello,

I would like to add a window of a program to the LabView front panel and control the position and size. Is there a possibility to run the the programm in a frame or something like that?

The programm is a spectrometer software and it is not possible to communicate to the software via activeX or .Net.

Thanks

The thing that you are not able to communicate using activex and.net leaves you with only one option. Align the labview window accordingly.  Go to vi properties and window appearence and play with it.

Hi Eckstein,

do you mean an external program? If yes, then it's possible with windows API function (only if you are in windows world). You can get the handle from the external program and set the position and size of it. You can also assign a new parent to it, so that it is located inside your VI.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the quick answers.

@Mike: You are right, I'm talking about an external programm

So I will try to use the API functions, but this can take a while because I've never used API before.

I will report soon
