Using LabVIEW to get RSS NEWS feeds from the internet.
To demonstrate data retrieval from internet.
This VI uses a public website to get the RSS NEWS feed from the internet, and then updates it to your desktop widget.
No Third Party Tools are required, and only base version of LabVIEW would be sufficient for this widget (No Dependencies!)

Third Round:
Added ActiveX functionality of Microsoft Excel. No Report Generation Toolkit is needed to be installed on the PC. The main aim of this example is to show the power of ActiveX functions to access third party applications.
What's added:
A different sheet is created in the Excel file according to the NEWS Category selected, with all the RSS feeds segregated into different WorkSheets inside an Excel file. All the functionality is done in order to demonstrate the power of ActiveX to call third party tools! For this example, you need Microsoft Excel 2007 to be installed on your PC.
