Creating a User Interface

You can create user interface objects (panels, controls, menus) using the User Interface Editor and save them in a .uir file. You can load, display, and modify these objects in your program using the functions in the User Interface Library. Also, you can specify callback functions that LabWindows/CVI calls when events occur on these objects.

If you attempt to open a .uir file you saved in a later format in an earlier version of LabWindows/CVI, you might experience unexpected behavior, including a program crash.

When you save .uir files in a format earlier than the current version, LabWindows/CVI removes any user interface features that were introduced in the current version.

Use LabWindows/CVI CodeBuilder to automatically generate complete C code that compiles and runs based on a user interface resource (.uir) file.
