Control LabVIEW DLL from LabWindows GUI only

[Slowpoke]

Hello,

I have been developing an application in LabWindows/CVI and have recently built some auxiliary applications in LabVIEW.  My goal is to make the LabVIEW applications into a DLL and call them from the LabWindows app; however, one of my LabVIEW VIs has a front panel control and a local variable to stop a pair of asynchronous while loops.  What I would like to do is remove/hide the front panel of this LabVIEW VI and control the VI from the LabWindows GUI exclusively.  Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi Slowpoke,

You can make the LabVIEW Front Panel Control a parameter for your DLL.  Then, you can call the DLL, thereby setting the Front Panel Control, in the callback for your CVI GUI.

Hi, David,

Once I figured out how to make a front panel control into a parameter, I had what must be a common reaction among LabVIEW users: Can it really be that easy?  Thank you for your reply and your assistance.
