Can a Visual Studio UI (C++ or C#) be imbedded into a LabWindows CVI UIR

[umquat]

Is it possible to have a Visual Studio UI as a element of a LabWindows CVI UIR and if so how?

Hello,

I had a look into this and I don't think it is possible directly, given the article I found below:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/1AC1B01A086BF61F49256F23004EEC26

However it does mention ActiveX supporting embedded ActiveX controls which I suspected also, it leads on to reference the below article about what features are available with regards to ActiveX in LabWindows/CVI:

I believe this article should walk you through the process of creating an ActiveX control in Visual Studio:

This microsoft tutorial is however more up to date:
