A LabVIEW executable can also have VI server enabled. You just set some
settings in its ini file to allow VI server access.
If the executable is not a LabVIEW app, then I'm afraid we do not know
enough here about your application yet to even have a slight idea how you could do 
that.

RE: copy data from a front panel table

2004-04-20 Thread Himes, Allen
Thanks to the guys that offered suggestions.  I forgot to mention that
the application from where I need to grab data is a .exe.  The methods
suggested only worked (or I couldn't make them work, anyway) for a
regular VI and not an .exe.  What I initially envisioned was something
as simple as selecting the data from the Front Panel with the mouse and
pasting that into a spreadsheet somewhere.

I still really haven't found a work-around for this ... luckily, my test
was pretty short and I could re-run it without too much time loss.
Still looking for suggestions ...

Thanks again, 

ah

Easiest way: Use VI Server to get the data from the table.  I will
attach an example to your private email.

You VI with the table must be opened.
