escape from labview dll

[kanmo]

Hi All,

This is my first time to post a question here. Thank you very much for all your help in advance.

I'm building a simple dll using the application builder. I can call it from matlab, and it's working well.

The problem is that i often need to escape from the dll while it's running.

When i was building .exe instead of .dll, i could achieve this simply by clicking STOP button.

However, with dll I can't activate the application interface window.

Is it possible for dll to have interactive graphic interfaces?

Thanks,

Anmo

Yes. This would require basically the same VI properties as if you had a user interface in a subVI.

It worked!!! Thank you very much Tim.

Just for Labview newbies like me, the details are as follows.

1. Select File»VI Properties to open the VI Properties dialog box.
   
2. Select Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu.
   
3. Click the Customize button to open the http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvdialog/cust_window_appearance_db/' target="_blank">Customize Window Appearance dialog box.
   
4. Place checkmarks in the Show front panel when called and Close afterwards if originally closed checkboxes.
   
5. Click the OK button.
   

and rebuild it!!!
