Binding to LabView from c/c++

[Boaz Sommer]

Hello, group.

I would like to bind to a LabView application/vi that acts as a server, by
writing a client in C/C++. How do I do it in C/C++? LabView doesn't create
type library, so is there another way of binding to an OLE server?

Thank you,

Boaz.

You can't write VIs to create your own OLE server. Instead, LabVIEW 5.0
itself
is an Automation Server. A type library is installed that allows you to get
interfaces
to Applications and VIs. This is similar to programmatically controlling LV
on
the diagram with VI references and property nodes.

Any environment that provides COM support (Visual C/C++, VB, VJ++) will be
able to
get interfaces to VIs. So you can write a set of VIs and call them from
C/C++ passing
parameters to and fro...

There should be some examples of this somewhere....

I work with National Instruments in helping people with their
instrumentation needs. We provide several examples in regards to OLE and
Labview.

When in need of example programs, please visit our support page at:
www.natinst.com/support/
There you will find pull-down menus asking for the specific software you
are using and what type of support you are needing (Examples,
Application Notes, or FAQ). For the search field, type in ole and
labview.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact myself at 1-800-433-3488
