ActiveX Container and serial control

Hi,
I'm looking for the serial control in the create control list at the
ActiveX Container. So i can control a Bluetooth stick. Where can i find
this activex control and how can i install it.
I hope somebody knows what i mean, thnx
Gr Veldmous

Hi, Veldmous.
It sounds like you'd like to be able to install a control to be used in an ActiveX container. Although extra controls will appear in that list once they're registered in your system, I'm not aware of some sort of generic serial control that can be installed.
However, there's a whole series of Bluetooth-related VIs that will probably be much easier to use than controlling your devices through ActiveX. For an example using these VIs, check out the Example Finder. (Help>>Find Examples, then select Networking>>Bluetooth.)
Good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Component Pick Release - Lot, Serial and 'Lot & Serial' Controlled Items

Hi All,
Please help understand how Component Pick Release handles Lot, Serial and 'Lot and Serial' Controlled component items.
Regards,
Abhishek

This message pops up, if the supply subinventory has "Allow Reservation" checked. But since you have mentioned that you have checked that. Unable to think of anything else.
Since the pickset option is turned on, move orders will be generated only if stock is avl for all the components. So, mention as you have already, ensure if avl mtl has been reserved already.

My ActiveX Controls that i downloaded (APTLaser Control and APTTEC Control) are not showing up

I got a new computer and im trying to bring over all of my files from my previous computer, however after downloading everything i was unable to use my ActiveX controls for the above objects. When i try to reinsert the object, they are not there, how to i bring in new controls to insert into the ActiveX container? Labview

Problems with parity and flow control using visa serial

I am trying to create a basic user interface with the options that my
company uses most often for a force indicator. You can configure
the indicator over serial, as well as read the values off the
indicator. I am trying to create the user interface so that using
producer/consumer loops with events, once you change a value, it will
write that new value to the serial port, ie the device.
The problem I am having is transfering the parity and flow control
values for the serial config to the Basic read write VI. The
problem is that once the consumer loop executes, it will write the
values correctly to the VI, but then the outer loop executes 200 ms
later and clears the values. I know that this is normal behavior
and that in order to keep the values stored, normally you would use a
shift register. I tried to use this and had some issues with
correct data types/array mis-mtaches, ets, so I created an indicator
and had a local vaible read the indicator, which seems to be working
for the stop bits, read bits, baud rate, etc, but not the parity anf
flow control. I always get "blank" outputs for theses values (if
you enable the digital display you can see that they are outputing the
value 0 which correspondes to None in both cases, which is
correct). Even though it appears that it is outputting the
correct value, I get an error that says the VISA property is
invalid. I initally did a search and found that my stop bit
control was wrong (outputting double instead of integer), but I could
not find anything on the parity/flow control issue. I even tried
to copy the serial config controls from the basic serial read/write to
my dialog box and that did not work either.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks
Kenny

I should add that I am using LV 8.0 and that the serial config
indicator in the consumer loop will be off the frontpanel in the final
VI so that it is not visible to the user.

ActiveX container disappears after vi saved and recalled

I can create a container and insert an active x object.
The vi will run but if saved and recalled the control
disappears! No other indication of a problem.

This problem was related to the MS Forms 2.0 scrollbar. After talking to NI they recognized it as a known problem but it was not posted. The solution was to use the Microsoft Flat Scrollbar Control, version 6.0. This is fine except for the time spent looking around. It would have helped if it had been posted originally.

Set Article which control batch and serial number at component level

Dear experts,
I have some concern about set article as the requirement for sale set my company would like to control inventory at component level and at the component level we required to control batch and serial number.
So, when posting GR of sale set article system will auto split material to control inventory at component level with MVT 319 and in this step should possible to manual define serial number for component.
Example
Header Sale Set A (Activate valuation type)
Comp1 : B (Activate serial number and control serial number during GR ref PO , control Batch)
Comp2 : C (Control Batch)
GR : Header Sale Set A
Expected Solution : System should automatic to split to comp1 and comp2 , for Comp1 B will require to input serial number.
Fact : During testing, system auto split to comp1 and comp2 for comp1 I can input serial number but after save the serial number that I input are gone.
I 'm not sure that for set article can we control serial number at component level? If anyone have the expereince in this. Please help ?
Best Regards,
Kate

Active x and web control

I'm using Microsoft WebBrowser in my activex container. My vi is
ultimately going to be a help file that accepts two strings. The first
is a url of the help file(written in HTML) and the second is just some
text.(ie..what the user wants to find help on) The way things are set
up now is the URL gets concatenated(sp?) with a '#' followed by the text
the user inputted. If the text is recognized as an anchor in the help
file the page will open to that spot. However if the text is not
recognized as an anchor the page loads what it was previously. What I
need to know is if there is a way such that when an unrecognized anchor
is called the main page loads?
thanks for any help

I don't think it's possible. As far as I am aware there is no way to 'embed' office applications into other applications. Perhaps you could try to generate a PDF/HTML file from the word document and embed that in a browser control?

Hi,
I´m trying to display an Excel97 Chart in a Labview 7.0 ActiveX Container.
I´ve tried several things :
1. Creating an container that is connected to an Excel file. Then copying the chart I want to display to the file and saving it.
--> problem : the display won´t refresh until I manually edit the ActiveX document.
1. Creating an container that is connected to an Excel file. Then changing the source document
--> problem : not possible in LabView ?
2. Trying to create a container as an Excel Control.
--> problem : no such control available ?
Who can help me ???

Sorry Microsoft Chart contorl is activeX control that you embed in ActiveX container in LV

Obtaining activex reference from activex container

I have a VI with an embedded MediaPlayer activex object inside an activex container. Additionally, I have a seperately run VI which I want to be able to control the MediaPlayer obejct in the first VI. These VIs are opened seperately, so I cannot pass information directly from one to another (i.e., I can't directly pass the MediaPlayer activex reference to the second VI directly). Therefore, the second VI obtains a reference to the activex container object by searching the first VI's controls and filtering by label. I can typecast the control reference to the level of activex container, but from there I have no way of obtaining a reference to the object embedded in it. Is there are way to do this? The "To more specific class" function does not accept activex references for typecasting, and the automation open does not accept activex container references. I've searched through the forums, and while there is plenty on activex references and containers, there doesn't seem to be anything that addresses my issue.

I'm not 100% about whether this will work, but give it a try. Once you have a reference to the container, use the 'Value' property. This will give you a variant. From here you can use Variant to Data, connect a MediaPlayer constant reference to the type input and you should get the correct reference out.
Also, you could simply get a reference to the VI with the ActiveX control and use the method 'Control Value: Get[Variant]' to get the value of the control instead of getting a list of all the controls and searching for the one you want.

Can not publish the contains of the activeX container to the web.

It is easy to publish the front panel to the webserver. But in my application everything on the front panel appears on the web page but the contains of the activeX container (it is images from a web camera!). Does any one knows how to solve this? Is there any restriction on what objects on front panel can be publish to the web server?

I know that you can publish the contents of an activeX container. I have done it several times. It is probably something to do with the activeX control you have placed in it. For instance, it might be that the image from the web camera is updating when the snap of the front panel is taken so that the image of the container seems blank. It also might have something to do with the picture depth you are using. Try playing around with some of the publishing settings you have available such as monitor, snap, refresh rate, picture depth, etc and see if any of them have any effect.

LabVIEW and custom controls

Hi all,
I'm an italian PhD student working with Polytechnic of Bari.
I'd like to submit to this forum a question about LabVIEW and custom controls in form of ActiveX components.
Some introductory word about my problem will be helpful: in the past few months here at Polytechnic of Bari my colleagues and I developed some useful ActiveX controls with custom functionalities to use in LabVIEW.
For example we developed a "contraves", an
"endless knob" and a useful counter with a scale very similar to that of standard gazometers or energy counters.
However we are experimenting some difficulties with the integration of these controls in LabVIEW; the controls are correctly imported in our VIs with using the ActiveX Container but...
in the block diagram they appear as ActiveX references and we must use property nodes to access even their most useful property (value).
Please, do someone of you know if (and eventually how) is it possible to integrate more deeply the controls in the LabVIEW environment?
Do someone of you know if it exist an hypothetical "Custom Controls SDK" for LabVIEW more advanced of that integrated in LabVIEW 6.0?
Any hint would be appreciated.

The first step is to build a VI that contains the panel and diagram
elements that you want to drop all at once. In your case, drop the
ActiveX control at a good size, and on the diagram, you can wire it to
helper VIs, property nodes, etc. The VI's icon and name are important
as that is what will show up in the palette menu representing your
control. The connector pane isn't used.
With the VI constructed, you want to add it to the palette menu. In the
Tools menu, Advanced, there is an item about half way down for
Customizing the Palette menu. You will need to build a New Palette Set
using the ring and name it whatever you like. You can now add your VI
wherever you like. Most likely you will want to right click to add a
new subMenu in the Controls palette and place it in a new .mnu file. In
the subMenu, right click to add Control. The file dialog will open
allowing you to select a control file to add to the palette. By
changing the filter from .ctl to all, you can insert VIs into the
controls palette.
All VIs inserted into the Control palette will act as merge VIs, meaning
that when dragged to a panel, the panel elements will be merged into the
destination panel, and the diagram elements will be merged into the
destination diagram.
For others that want to have these on the Functions palette rather than
the Controls, you add the VI to the Functions palette, then popup on the
palette item and check the menu item to make it a Merge VI.
When it comes time to distribute, you will want to give out your .mnu
file and the VI of course. Easiest is to place both of them in
user.lib. If you want the items to go at the top level of the palettes,
then you can add them to add-ons inside of vi.lib, but this causes more
upgrade challenges.
Hope that helps.

Activex - firefox and mozilla

i want to login automatically on a webside
1. is it possible to use a firefox or a mozilla browser window on my frontpanel (via an activex container?)
2. how can i access the components
thanks

Hi muehlbacher,
a colleague found something very interesting for you, and I implemented a little VI that loads mozilla in the frontpanel.
Get the Mozilla ActiveX-Control here and install it: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm
Get this VI: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B123AE0CBB96111EE034080020E74861&p_... (Building a Simple Web Browser Using ActiveX) and just replace the IE-ActiveX to "MozillaBrowser Class" and you can use mozilla to browse.
If and how the mozilla ActiveX is able to access components in a loaded website, that I don't know. So you have to search through the API or contact the developers.
Have fun with Mozilla!
Best Regards

How can I have a canvas and external controls at the same time?

Typically all the space of an applet is used for 2D or 3D; that is, the applet provides the canvas. I am trying to develop an applet where I only want to use part of the applet space for 3D, and then, outside that space (but still within the applet) I would like to add some controls (e.g. buttons or text fields) to provide some interaction. In other words, I want to have an applet that contains something like a frame for 3D, and some controls outside the frame.
It may be quite easy, but I am very new to applets. Can anyone kindly give me some suggestions? Any help is highly appreciated!
Regards,
Hua

I got it figured out. Thanks anyway!
