My windows form application on Labview front panel

[witny]

Hi, I would like to ask, if it is possible to place my c# windows form app on labview front panel. Thank You.

[hooovahh]

The first method that comes to mind is using Windows DLL calls to set the parent window as the LabVIEW front panel, and the child window as your C# application.  This will work but looks a little ugly because you will have the title bar of your C# program inside your front panel and looks unnatural.  I did a quick search and found this post that I think has some code on setting parent/child windows.

To do this you'd need the HWND of both the parent and child windows.

 

I'm betting there is a nicer way to do this and I hope someone else answers because admittedly this feels like a hack method.

I'm not s familiar with C# but LabVIEW does have native support for .net controls. If you can compile it into this it should be possible but it depends on the execution flow of your program.
