Launch a floating Windows Form


Recommended Posts

Hi,

So LabVIEW currently doesn't support WPF. But I have figured out a way to put a WPF on a .NET Form (sometimes referred to as a WinForm). Now I need to be able to launch the Form from labVIEW so that I can interact with it. It is the equivalent of launching a VI at runtime (using VI Server) and having two independent VIs running separately.

Anyone got any ideas? I think my main problem is that when I try to launch the Form with the Show method, it wants me to assign an owner application of the form. Thanks all.

The owner "IWin32Window" is most probably the Window Handle of your calling VI. That would be my first guess...
