ActiveX Automation Reference getting corrupted when sharing with Teststand

I am using ActiveX Automation to interact with a 3rd Party Software. I use LabVIEW Functional Global to store the activeX reference. I have some low-level APIs with the Automation Refnum In and Out and few high level APIs which use the reference from Functional Global. I am also using these APIs in Teststand. When I store the Automation Reference in the Teststand Local Variable and pass it to the low-level APIs, It was working fine. But when I pass the Reference from the Teststand Local Variable to the Functional Global and use it afterwards, the reference is getting corrupted and I am getting error.
I have created a prototype of the situation using ActiveX call to Skype from LabVIEW. The attached file has 3 Teststand sequences explaining the situation. 
Debug1.seq : Passes the reference from TS Local to LV Functional Global  : Generates error
Debug2.seq : Uses the reference from TS Local alone : No error
Debug3.seq : Uses the reference from LV Functional Global alone : No error
Can anyone suggest why is the reference loses its validity or any solutions?

Hello, Nandini,
I am using the WinXP and I am calling the DLL provided by Pirouette for their chemometrics software. I just solved the error -2147467262, but the new error comes out is :
Error code: -2147467259 Exception occured in IxAsObjs.CoSIMCAPredict.1, Language Server QueryInterface failed: No such interface supported.
Here is a few word for the problem from priouette:
" just a few more words that might help you understand the nature of the problem. your LabView client talks to AlgSuite.dll using IDispatch interfaces AlgSuite.dll communicates with the language server on an IUnknown interface.
Your client knows nothing about the internal workings of AlgSuite.AlgSuite communicating with objects that do not have IDispatch interfaces should be irrelevant to your client."
Since the VB demo works fine in my machine, so they though it is percular to labview. Any comments? I appreciate it.

  • Error -214746726​2 "No such interface supported" when open an ActiveX automation reference to proprietar​y DLL, why?

    I got the error -2147467262 "No such interface supported" when open an ActiveX automation reference to a proprietary DLL. I check the forum which suggested solutions related to comcat.dll and IE6.0. I also tried to re-reqister the dll by regsvr32.exe, still does not work. However, I did nto get any luck. I was told that the DLL support iDispatch interface and should work ok with ActiveX in labview. Any suggestions? I appreciate it.

  • Bad Quality When Sharing with iWEB

    Sorry if this is posted somewhere on here. I could not find it.
    I am having a problem with real choppy video when sharing with iWEB. My videos when viewed on my website are very blurry to the point that you can not see faces. Any help would be most welcome.

    I am importing from miniDV. I believe it is HD, not sure if that matters or not. I recorded a clip off of the cam into iMovie. I added a soundtrack and a few sound effects. I saved my project and then shared it with iWEB. It is now on my website but just real blurry and the sound effect don't hit at the right times. It is perfect when view in iMovie (great picture quality). I also shared the same movie with iTunes and noticed, while better then iWeb, it is still not as good as when viewing in iMovie. Thanks for any help

  • How do I quickly update the ActiveX automation references in my VIs when the ActiveX interface changes?

    Hello all,
    I joined a test automation team in the middle of a large project and
    inherited a huge set of VIs (over 700) and associated architecture for
    this automation (not to mention the several thousand TestStand
    sequences).  Another part of the project is being developed by our
    customer, who is using VB 6.0 to create ActiveX components which we
    need to use in LabView to access their hardware.  They've already
    invested a large amount of time developing these ActiveX components,
    and they are not finished -- meaning the ActiveX interfaces will be
    changing.  Every time they send updated ActiveX components, I have to
    re-write many, many VIs including updating a couple strict typdefs. 
    This process takes way too much time and is mind-numbing and prone to
    error or omission.
    Unfortunately I can't post any of the VIs because of a NDA.  But
    perhaps a bit more detailed explanation would help.  TestStand calls a
    VI to open and get an ActiveX reference for automation (which it stores
    in a variant).  It will pass this reference into any VI it calls to
    perform specific functions through this ActiveX interface.  For
    example, one VI that may be called passes this automation refnum into
    another, which passes it to another, which passes it into another to
    get the actual ActiveX reference stored in that variant (through a
    Variant To Data call with a strict typedef of the ActiveX component
    wired to the type input).  [See the attached image of this sample VI
    hierarchy: the far left icon would represent TestStand, and the far
    right is the strict typedef.]  Any of the VIs in the chain might use
    ActiveX Property or Invoke nodes, and it can break at any one of those
    when the ActiveX component changes.  It's easy to fix each one, but
    since there are so many VIs it takes a very long time.
    Is there any way at all to do a massive search/replace or something to
    make the ActiveX references update?  I realise that even though
    property or method names stay the same from one version to the next,
    they are different references.  Is there a way to update these based on
    name if you give it the base ActiveX reference?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Ben,
    Unfortunately I can't post any VIs that would demonstrate the problem
    because the ActiveX components are confidential.  I'll try to develop
    my own ActiveX dll that will demonstrate it, but in the meantime, in
    hopes that another picture will help, I've attached an image of a block
    diagram (with some names changed to protect confidential information)
    of one of the lower level VIs from the hierarchy I posted.  In this
    example, the "Automation Refnum IN" is an input with a type definition
    linked to the strict typedef based on the ActiveX automation dll that
    has changed.  I updated that typedef, but as you can see the output to
    the "Class1" indicator is broken.  If I delete the "Class1" indicator
    and select Create->Indicator from the Class1 property node, and then
    wire the new "Class1" indicator to the connector pane, the VI is fixed
    -- at least at compile time.  In most cases there is also a runtime
    problem where the reference obtained by one of the intermediate
    property nodes is null, so the property or method node that uses it
    fails (e.g. "_VNManager.Networks" property returned is 0, so the
    "_Networks.Network1" property node fails).  To fix this problem, I have
    to delete the wires between the property nodes, and one by one select a
    different property/method, then select the correct property/method and
    re-wire.  There seems to be a bit of "jiggling the handle" to get it to
    work though.
    I don't know if the ActiveX developer changed anything in this class,
    but if he did, he didn't change the name of this class.  I would like
    to have to modify the VI only if a class, property or method has
    changed name or been removed.
    Does that all make sense?  Thanks for any pointers or help!

  • Excel files getting corrupted when editing locally

    We are getting corrupted files when using "edit locally". Editing seems to work fine, but when the next user tries to open the file it is corrupted. This error only occurs intermittently. When checking the logs I found below error message:

    TSM:
    Thanks for the reply. I'd be "LOST" without you!
    Anyway, the camera only came with a Windows disk. Per the manufacturer, it doesn't need mac drivers, and the windows drivers are only for the web cam function (which i don't use.)
    The camera is formatted under FAT32 (Windows) format. I couldn't run permissions repair. I did do a repair disk under disk utility. Still having the issues.
    I tried iMovie. I can import the avi file from the camera, and it works!!!!
    So it would appear that there's a bad codec in QT/Perian/VLC?

  • Quality reduction when sharing with iDVD

    Hi Everyone
    I'm new to iMovie 11.  This week I made my first short movie with a 720HD camera and I'm very pleased with the quality.  When I watch it on my iMac it's great and when I share it with iTunes and watch it on my home TV, using AppleTV, the picture is great as well.  However, when I share it using iDVD there is a fall off in video quality (with blocky text in title sequences) as I play the disc back through my DVD player and TV.  I've tried playing the disc back through a friend's DVD player and TV, but things are no better.
    Is this normal when sharing through iDVD or is there a setting I've overlooked?

    Hi
    As You see there are much to this - at least three levels as I get it
    1. DVD-standard 480i
    2. How it moves from iMovie to iDVD - Share to Media Browser and as Large
    3. Choise of video editor as
    iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - are not tools of choise as they discard every second line resulting in 240i quality
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 or
    • FinalCut any version
    as they deliver 480i not losing anything.
    Use High quality DVD - I use Verbatim DVD-R
    Burn at slower speed - I use x4 - to get less burn errors
    makes the DVD even better (plays on more Players)
    Yours Bengt W

  • My HD gets corrupted when using FF 21. I revert back to 20 and everything is fine.

    I am using MAC PRO, system 10.6.8 and for some reason, I upgraded to FF 21 and my HD started to get corrupted. I had to revert back to 20 and everything seem to be ok. I used disk utility to fix it and that worked but am afraid if I continue to upgrade I will get these error messages. I am not sure if this is the issue.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • PDF file gets corrupted when generated from BSP

  • IPad 2 music does not play and high resolution pictures get corrupted when syncing through iTunes on 64 bit Win 7.  Anyone else have a problem with iTunes corrupting music and pictures from 64bit machine?

    Works from a 32 bit XP machine.  Does not work from a 64bit Win 7 machine.  It's 64 bit that seems to be the issue; the music won't start playing, and for pictures, it's when they're more than 768x1024 resolution that they appear very low resolution and/or corrupt.  None of the normal tricks work (different user account; different USB port; different USB hub controller) and the problem is replicable.  The music and JPEG and PNGs, however, are fine if transferred via a Windows network to a 32 bit machine ie it's not the music/image files.

    Dear Katrina, the problem has finally been solved, with the help of a computer-savvy friend of mine who came round this afternoon. As a courtesy, and to thank you for all your help in this matter, I want to share the solution with you.
    A piece of the puzzle was missing, as you said, and it lay in the tenth line of the XML document I relayed to you....
    <key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Users/Simon/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Media/</string>
    My friend spotted that the command string contained a sub-folder of the iTunes folder called "iTunes Media". iTunes was expecting to find all my music there, but that folder didn't exist.
    So I created a new folder called "iTunes Media", and moved all my musical content into it, leaving all the command files in the original iTunes folder.
    Then I moved the "iTunes Media" folder into the "iTunes" folder, so that it was a sub-folder of the latter.
    Then I re-opened iTunes and - joy of joys! - everything works once again. I am re-united with all of my music, and without having to make over 14,000 manual location exercises. I can't tell you how exciting that is.
    The mystery is solved, and what had me so puzzled seems obvious now. Thanks again for your help. Without you I might never have got to this point.

  • Layered PSD files getting corrupted when applying a gaussian blur.

    A file is created then three layers to keep simple a red square is created using the marquee tool then filled with a colour this is repeated on the next layer with a different colour then the third layer is completely filled with another colour.
    The first two layers are selected and scaled then made transparent.
    Finally the layer in between layer 3 and layer 1 is selected and a gaussian blur is applied this is when the corruption occurs

    After file is corrupted Photoshop has to be closed and re-opened because subsequent files that are opened are corrupted.
    This has been reported in CS5 and CS5.5 extensively but not so much in CS6.

    Below is the steps that where used to create the corruption in the files.
    Gausian Blur corruption in Photoshop
    Step 1. Create document with 3 layers + Background.
    Step 2. Layer 3 - Create a box (Red)
    Step 3. Layer 2 - Create a box (Blue)
    Step 4. Layer 1 – Fill layer (Yellow)
    Step 5. Select layer 3 & 2 & scale down & press
    return
    Step 6. Change opacity of layer 1 & 2 to 25%
    Step 7. Go to layer 2 and select Gaussian Blur filter
    Please Note that the blue & Red Box Have changed
    colour.
    As I Zoom in and out the corruption gets worse.
    Sometimes this corruption dose’nt show up until you have
    saved & reopened the file.

  • Lumia520 photos get corrupted when transfered or c...

    i have a lumia 520 (amber updated; purchased about 3 months back; india).
    when i click photos, i am able to see them on the phone.
    when i transfer them (whether through windows phone app or file transfer) to my windows 8 laptop, OR when i upload them on skydrive, i can see some photos, while some can not be opened(message - windows photo viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged, corrupted or is too large)
    these 'corrupted' pictures show up as a blue square in the PC and skydrive.
    i am not even able to edit some of the photos on the phone. 
    and i recently found that these photos that i am not able to edit on the phone are the ones that show up as corrupted files in skydrive and my PC.
    i am stumped as to why some photos are ok and some don't open?
    please help!
    thank you.

    try to do a soft reset and see if it is just a setting that keeps crashing when uploading or transferring to your pc.
    if that doesn't work, then you should do a full hard reset.
    if it was just that you couldn't get the files from the skydrive after uploading through your wifi, then I would say that there could have been issues in the transmission where maybe you were cut off the wifi before the file completed, causing the error. however, you are also having issues with cable transfer of the files to your pc directly and with the windowsphone application you downloaded from the windows 8 store and adjusting/editing those same files on your device itself, suggesting you could have file corruption.
    the soft reset should fix it if it is some setting that seems to be getting stuck in the process of transferring items from the device. if it doesn't, back up any images/videos/etc from your device and then try the hard reset after.
    Soft Reset-
    Hold Vol- & Pwr until the device shuts down
    When the device vibrates and starts to reboot, release ONLY Pwr button, still holding the Vol-
    When you see the (!) on your screen, then release the Vol- button and wait until the device boots.
    Your device is now soft reset
    Hard Reset- (THIS COMPLETELY ERASES ALL DATA ON THE PHONE, BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST)
    Hold Vol- & Pwr until the device shuts down
    When the device vibrates and starts to reboot, release ONLY Pwr button, still holding the Vol-
    When you see the (!) on your screen, then release the Vol- button
    Immediately, in sequence, tap Vol+, Vol-, Pwr, Vol-
    The device will show gears and begin wiping the device to a factory restored version.
    Device will reboot.
    Your device is now soft reset

  • Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

    Hi,
    I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX).  I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
    corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
    I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
    The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
    Please help.
    Thanks in advace.

    The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type? 
    Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian.  If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM.  If
    that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

  • My RAW images are becoming corrupt when opening with Adobe Bridge, showing very bright colours.

    Windows Vista, Canon 20d, Dell PC.
    Happens to older images not new ones.
    Have a raw thumbnail codex installed.
    Any help much apreciated
    Example attached.
    It isn't happening to all images though:

    The raw codec doesn't affect Bridge/ACR, only Windows Explorer and applications which use the codec, like Photo Gallery.
    The corruption you show is pretty extreme. It's usually the sort of thing you get with a corrupt display profile (Bridge is fully colour-managed), but if that was the case, I would expect it to happen with all of your photos, not just some.
    You show the Preview panel is corrupted, but what about full-screen and Camera Raw previews?
    What happens if you reset an image to camera raw defaults, with bog-standard settings and an Adobe Camera Profile?
    The only other obvious problem I can think of is graphics drivers.
    Which versions of Bridge and Camera Raw are you using?

  • IMovie crashes when sharing with Quicktime

    I think I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. I am a novice, please forgive me.
    I updated my iMovie program and now everytime I use it and try to share movies with Quicktime it closes unexpectedly. I can export the movie as a m4v file using "export movie", but I need for it to be a .mov file and I typically use "export using Quicktime". It worked flawlessly until I updated. Has anyone else had a problem with iMovie after updating it? Is there a way to revert back to the previous version? I have called Apple Support and the gentleman that helped me got it to do what I could get it to do, but could not get the movie to share using Quicktime. He said that all of the files are the same (?) and that I could just use the m4v. I am doing work at home for someone else and they need the .mov file. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I did see multi-pass checked when I was looking at the Compressor Quality. I thought about changing it also because I get about a quarter of the way through the process and then it closes on me.
    My sound settings are:
    Format: Linear PCM
    Channels: Stereo L R
    Rate: 44.100kHz
    Render Settings:
         Quality: Normal

  • Printer share name gets renamed when saving with -1

    Often (but not always) when I change a seemingly unrelated setting (like channel, encryption, NTP...) the printer name gets appended with " - 1"
    Canon MP780 FAX - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
    Is the current name. This is really frustrating people as you might imagine and confusing to boot.
    What's up?

    BUMP I'm also trying to do the same thing and also experiencing the same issues!
