making windows visible

Can I make a small non-LabView window visible by say having it appear on a page in a tab control?

Hi exo,

do you mean to integrate your non-LabView window into your LabView program?

Hi exo,
if this non-labview program has an activx control, then it could be possible.
If you only want to show some states from time to time, then you could make a screenshot of it and paint it into a picture in your application.

The window is being ported over from and updated by a Unix machine. I highly doubt it has an activeX control.

As usual, you seem to not always specify the details up front. Please explain what you mean by "ported over from and update by a Unix machine".

It comes over a local network using a ssh connection. I doubt the programmers included any ActiveX controls. In any event, I can't modify that code. It shows up as an active window on my computer.

Provided the "program" in question provides the required services, LV will let you embed the other program in a sub-panel (as mentioned above).

In the case of the program you are describing it appears it does not offer such services, so the best you will be able to do is to run the program in a DOS window using sysexec.
