how to run .exe file by labview?

If that's the case, he's not even close, is he?

If you really are trying to pass parameters to an exe created from a VI, you should look at the shipping example called CommandLine to see how it should be done. No executable, whether you write it in LabVIEW or any other language, will automatically accept command line parameters. You need to program that capability in.

... and he may be even harder pressed to get any output from it written back into the command "pipe".

Thanks for your help, but I fixed my trouble in a different way. What I was looking for how to pass values in executable file created in LabView. I found the: Property Node: Application->Command Line Arguments. That's it.

Let me ask you the last thing: I created the executable file with the "Application Builder" of LabView. When I double click on the exe it runs properly but at the end it does not close the front panel.

I don't wat to see the front panel during the execution of the exe, but mainly I would like that I is closed at the end of the execution.

Thanks a lot.

You just need to use the appropriate front-panel property node to either keep it hidden and/or close it when you are finished.

This hides it, has a space for whatever work you need done and then closes it.

Since the example I pointed out uses that property, how is your solution different?

If you are talking to me Dennis (and I'm not 100% sure you are), your "CommandLine" example didn't answer Pomo's question/concern/statement that said "Let me ask you the last thing: I created the executable file with the "Application Builder" of LabView. When I double click on the exe it runs properly but at the end it does not close the front panel. I don't [particularly want] to see the front panel during the execution of the exe, but mainly I would like that [it] is closed at the end of the execution."

The code picture I posted shows how to hide and close a front panel window.

Or was there another example that you pointed out that I missed?

Sorry Warren,

I was asking Pomo what he meant by "found another way".

[Pomo]

Probably my english coused some misunderstaning.

When I said "in a different way", I was speaking about pass of value or parameter to an exe. And you can see the way in the attachment.

Thanks Warren for the example, I did it in quite similar way; your is more elegant. But I guessed there was not a programmatical way, but, let's say something to set. For example in the VI->Property->Execution or something like that.

Thanks a lot.
