How do I insert text into a VI like in a web page

[elsre]

Hi I am new to LabVIEW, my project is to develop a Internet based controlling of a Photovoltaic testing Laboratory for Distance learning students.

My starting problem is, I need to insert some description about the project into a VI, once the user clicks an option it would leads to experiment. 

For example...in the starting of the front panel it must show two options                  a) new user    or      b)existing user.

If user clicks a, it must go forward otherwise need to open a saved experiment. I dont know wether it is possible with LabVIEW or not. Can anyone help me please?

Welcome to the world of LabVIEW!

I can tell by your question that you really you need to start with the basics:   tutorials and user manuals. 

Here is a good start:

Install LabVIEW

In the startup window, click on "Getting Started With LabVIEW". 

Also, go here:  http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/labviewbasics/

I think that before you begin to solve your problem, you need to learn more about your chosen programming tool.  Study the manuals, look for more tutorials online.  Good luck!

Hi,

If you are looking at creating an application in LabVIEW that is controlled by the web, you have two options available to you, the first is the Web UI builder and the other is Web Services:

If you were looking at how to create an application using the Web UI builder I have a few links below to help you understand firstly what the Web UI is and also how to go about using it.

If you want to create a Web Service, this can be a bit trickier especially considering that you are new to LabVIEW. However there is a great “how to” document which will help you get started.

I wish you the best of luck!
