How can Labview communicate with another software (WordPerfect )?

[Ya-hoo]

I need to import data from Corel (WordPerfect) to Labview? Can ActiveX do this or other way?

Thanks.

Yes, LabVIEW does support ActiveX. Though I don't think there are any Wordperfect examples shipped with LabVIEW, have a look through the examples and search for ActiveX. This will show you how to use the ActiveX calls so you should be able get something setup from there.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply.

I am still wondering if that means Labview can talk to any kind of software via ActiveX?

Thanks.

LabVIEW supports ActiveX. Not all software has ActiveX.

[EdDickens]

If the software in question has an ActiveX component, then LabVIEW will be able to communicate with it.

Figuring out the specific methods and properties needed to actually do is up to you. It's doubtful the software manufacturer will have LabVEW ActiveX infacing VI's for you to download. You'll have to get the documentation from the manufacturer to know what methods and proerties do what.

Thanks Dennis and Ed.

Now I know where I can start from.

Thank you.
