how to make a link between Visual C++ and LabView?

[CowCow]

I want to use my labview program to read the data generated by visual C++ program to perform some control to digitial oscilloscope. I have read your homepage. I know it is using ActiveX to get everything done. However, I dont know where to get started!The data is just a simple number, 1 to 8. So what should I do right now? Where Should I start?
thanks for helping me.

Possible alternatives to ActiveX calls:

If you program can save the data to a file, then you could read the file from LabVIEW and act accordingly.

If the data is generated by a function that is in a .dll, you can make a call to the function from LabVIEW using the "Call Library Function".

If you have the code of your C++ program, maybe you can work a CIN that will work directly from LabVIEW.

There can be other alternatives.
