C# and LabVIEW - running C# form in background

[ussr123]

Hello everyone,

I am opening in Labview a C# form, by using .NET constructor and Show display() method. I would like to realize the following:

To use a state machine, in a first step open the form and then, after pressing a special button on the Form (for ex. a Start button), going back to LabVIEW and doing the next steps of the state machine.

This would mean, that the C# program runs actually in background, while the other states of the machine are executed. Is something like that possible?

With/without state machine? Or any other idea?

Thanks,

Hi Ussr123,

maybe you could build a dll from your C# code and call it from LabVIEW using the Call Library Function Node. This node ensures that he LabVIEW code does not proceed to execute when the DLL function is active.
