Overview
This VI demonstrates the ability to access LabVIEW as an ActiveX server. It allows you to list items in a project and run VIs from within that project.
Description
This code uses activeX calls to programmatically control the LabVIEW environment. This demonstrates the capability of LabVIEW to be controlled from other environments through activeX calls. This link provides some additional help resources for LabVIEW and ActiveX.
