Is it possible to embed a remote panel in a subpanel?

[Peter_Heseltine]

When I connect to a remote panel it opens its own totally seperate window from the calling VI. Is it possible to open a remote panel in a subpanel of the calling VI. If this is not possible then as remote web panels make use of Active X would an Active X container work?

Thanks

Have decided its probably not possible to put a remote panel in a subpanel howeevr is there anything to stop me using an active x container with a browser window and using a web remote panel?

Hi Peter,

I've set this up with a small test and it seems to work ok. You just need to create an activeX control and select the Microsoft Web Browser, and then for the navigate property, select the URL that you want to point to - in this case, your LabVIEW remote panel. Requesting control etc still seems to work ok in this configuration.

Take a look at the attached vi's and html page - you'll need to copy this html page into your 'C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\www' directory to get this to work, and make sure you have the web server configured correctly. The browser vi is the one to run - with the test vi being the one in the remote panel.

Hope this helps

Hannah,

Thanks for your efforts. unfortunately I only have LabVIEW 7.1 so cant open your examples however I have also been experimenting and it does appear possible to open a remote web panel in an activex container using a Microsoft Web Browser control. Its a shame it cant be done with a remote panel and a subpanel.

Thanks

Peter
