.Net for as a child of a LV front pannel?

[falkpl]

Is it possible to make a .net form (or inherited subclass) as a child control in a labview panel.  I have been able to open a form from labview but would really like the form to be a child control and not a separate window (similar to an activeX container).  The problem with the .net form is that the window is not active when LV is active and vise versa, which is causing problems and for both GUI development and ease of programming.  Has any one accomplished this?  Is this even possible?  I am not a .Net expert by any means but understand enough to use it for some applications.  I am actually interested in learning more through using it within Labview.

It isn't supported in LabVIEW 7.x, but you might want to take a look at this...

You can always make a window as a child window of another window with SetParent.

Thanks for the links I will see what I come up with.  This is very useful for interoperability in future windows systems which seems to be headed towards a .net api approach.

This VI will let you set the parent window for the child. I do not know if it will work with .Net but it should as long as the window is open.
