Fixed windows with IMAQ

[Robert Conde]

I want to be able to have an IMAQ window displayed with the
DisplayWindow(don't remember actual name) function to be fixed
in the GUI like it is in vision builder instead of just popping up as a

seperate window. Since vision bulider was written in Labview I know it
should be possible - but I see no obvious solution. Can anybody help?

please respond via email if possible

Hi Robert,

The functionality you request is available using the Call Library Function
from the Advanced Palette of LabVIEW. You need to make calls to the
Windows API. Essentially you would be embedding a child window into the
parent window of LabVIEW. See the Microsoft Software Developers Kit for
more information.

Another approach would be to use an intensity graph and convert you images
to arrays prior to display. This method does work but is limited in its
approach.

For an example that models the first suggestion please visit the Example
Programs Database at http://digital.ni.com/explprog.nsf/$$Search and search
"Vision and Front"
