Hi All,
Using Windows XP, 2000, NT, 98, or 95,
Is it possible to have a compiled LabVIEW ".exe" act as a full Automation server with my own defined Methods and Properties that can be called/accessed as the VI runs (outside of the development environment)? The only example I've found allows a programmer to create an automation server ".exe" file (just check the Enable ActiveX Server checkbox in the build application window when compiling). By running this exe the server gets automatically registered and I can call it with another application (in LabVIEW, through the automation refnum type and selecting _IDispatch) but I need more. I would like to be able to create ActiveX properties and methods to actually control the execution of my server with another application (not necessarily written in LabVIEW). I would like to compile this server as an executable for distribution to other Windows machines. Running it on the target machine registers it. This pocess is somewhat trivial when using Microsoft or Borland compilers but not for LabVIEW.
I've searched through the labview supplied examples and on NI.com but everything that came up used LabVIEW as the client and something else as the server.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
