how to use LabXML

[atd]

Hi,

I downloaded the LabXML.zip file that has the following files:

MSXML.dll

XML-example15.dll

How would I use it?  Would they show up in the pull-down Function menu if properly installed?   I copy and put these files under the "user.lib" directory like the OpenG *.dll that previously installed, but I guess that is not the right way:(

thanks,

A.

The extension on those files are actually .llb, indicating they are LabVIEW library files. The XML functions are in MSXML.llb. If you place this file in the user.lib folder then you will get a subpallette in the User Libraries menu with a generic name (see attached screenshot). The other file is an example on how to use the functions. Note that it is not necessary to place the libraries in the user.lib folder. This is just for convenience.

Thanks smercurio_fc.  It works now.  Previously, I placed these files inside the _LabXML folder (copy the format of the installed _OpenG folder) and that would not work.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\user.lib\_LabXML.lib  <- won't work.

Because the folder name starts with an underscore ('_') LabVIEW will ignore the files when building the user.lib palettes.
