Is there a way to create a CAObjHandle to the LabWindows/CVI ActiveX Server without opening a new CVI App?
A little background, I'm trying to automate the creation of HTML help files from Function panels. Thanks to (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Is-there-a-way-to-automate-generating-the-documentation-from-a/m-p/1166049/highlight/true#M47789) I was able to find that there is a function that exist to accomplish that.
CVI_AppGenHtmlHelpFromFPFile is the function I need to call but it requires that I have a handle created.
I can get a handle to this by using the function CVI_NewApp, but the problem with this is that it opens a new application of CVI (which is definitely not favorable). At a very high level I need this functionality to process over 100 Function Panels so you can see how this can become a bit extensive and involved to open CVI each and every time. This should be a relatively small command-line appilcation that basically takes the file path and passes it to CVI_AppGenHtmlHelpFromFPFile and it does its magic.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
