Open LabView DLLs with Automation Open

Hi All,

 

I would like to understand the way I can call the LabView dlls using Automation Open from LabView. Can any one provide me a simple example which helps me understand this.

 

Regards,

AFAIK, you can call a DLL (built in any language including LV) in LV using the Call Library Function node.

 

I dont think you can use the Automation Open function to call a DLL in LV, It is basically meant for calling ActiveX functions.

Also, CINs CANNOT be used to call DLLs in LV. They are meant to call C code directly in LV.
