ActiveX Server with CVI User Interface

[tonye]

I am trying to create an ActiveX Server DLL in CVI that has a user interface. The UI will be updated by some of the exposed methods of the server. None of the examples provided with CVI include a user interface. Any examples or suggestions out there?

thanks,

Hi,

Is there a special reason for you to build it as a DLL? I would suggest that you build it as an exe and launch it, controll it and communicate data through ActiveX. Witht his method your applications can work independently and you have them running in diferent tasks. I've never attempted to do a DLL with a UI that communicates throuhg ActiveX, but sounds possible!

Just my 2 cents; hope that helps.

I created an EXE project and it works just fine. The was no specific reason for a DLL other than that's how I generally interface stuff to TestStand but this worked just as well. Thanks for the advice.
