ActiveX container visibility problem

I am having problems with container visibility on a tab when the tab is made invisible. I have made a demo program to change tabs with and see how visibility behavior is affected based on which tab-page is visible at the time. I know there is a work around by programmatically changing to a different tab before setting visibility false.

Hi,
Actually, if you set the visibility of the ActiveX container to be the same as that of the Visibility boolean, the program seems to work correctly.
Go ahead and take a look at the modified example I've attached. Also, I slightly modified the way the stop button was being handled (I included it as a case in the event structure, which is generally the way NI recommends the use of the Stop button in event structures).
Hopefully this program will now work as expected. Thanks!

Problems with an ActiveX container with a Microsoft Web Explorer in a subpanel

I have an application with a subpanel.When I push a button I insert another VI in the subpanel. This VI has an ActiveX container with a Microsoft Web Explorer inside. The problem is that the first time I insert the VI all works, but the next time the VI is inserted the ActiveX container appears empty.
Could anybody help me? Thank you very much.

Hi,
In the following two VIs ( uno.vi & dos.vi) I have tried to reproduce the problem you are facing. In my case eveything worked properly.
I used LV 7 & Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 under Windows 2000
Try running the VIs I attach and check if the same thing goes on happening.

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

Hiding an ActiveX container with a web browser object

I have an ActiveX container that holds a web browser object to view a remote front panel for a VI running on a RT Target. I would like to dynamically adjust the visibility of the container on the front panel so that it is only visible when needed.

The web browser ActiveX object is a bit unique in how it is drawn on the screen. It is always on top. So this is an issue with the code in the web browser, not in LabVIEW. The best and easiest solution to your question that I have come up with is to move the ActiveX container offscreen instead of trying to make it invisible. Use the position property on the ActiveX container to programmaticaly move it. See diagram. (I'm showing both the True and False case of the Case Structure, but there should only be one Case structure in the diagram.)

How do I grab an image of an ActiveX container,urgent!

Help!
I am using an activeX container with a webcam viewing activeX component dropped in it. I want to grab the currently displayed image but when I use the "get image" or "get panel" invoke nodes the returned picture leaves the ActiveX container blank with no picture in. I should point out that the image only changes every 30ish seconds so it is probably not a synchronisation problem.
I desperately need help!!

ActiveX container of excel table

Hi
I have a excel table with lots of font formats that I'd like to have visible in LabView. How can I do that? I tried to copy the ActiveX...Range but it didn't work.
I don't want to build the table in LV because of the font formats.
It's very odd especially because could copy graph picture to the clipboard.
Thanks for any help.
Yves

Hi Yves,
display your Excel table in an InternetExplorer component embedded in an ActiveX container…

E-recruitment - Table does not contain visible columns

Guys,
I am currently working on the e-recruitment. I had came across this
Table does not contain visible columns
in the all the tab in Application Entry, Preselection, Selection, Offer face... Is it a configuration or is it a portal error?

Hello,
This is a simple configuration issue I guess if you are using EhP4. There are no table entries for the respective processes in table V_T77RCF_CDCYLST. Just go and configure for each process in User Interfaces > Administrator and Recruiter > Settings for Candidate Selection > Assign Columns for Candidate Shortlists the columns you would like to be displayed in each process based on the business requirement.

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.

How to make Transperant container visible , invisble by code

Dear experts ,
I want make transaperant container visible or invisible based some boolean value .
I have gone thr' class CL_WD_UIELEMENT and CL_WD_TRANSPARENT_CONTAINER. I have found method SET_VISIBLE .
Let suppose name of my transperant container TC_COSTCENTER .Please let me know what code I have to write . Where should I write ?
I am writing it code in WD_INIT as this process is based on value that I get on boolean value which tell decide visibility of Transperant container.
Waiting for reply . Urgetly .
Points will be given surely .
Cheers
Parry

Hi Parry,
The dynamic programming way is follows:
you need to first get a reference to the root element 'ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER' from the view reference available within the wddomodifyview method. the variable returned is of type cl_w_uielement_container. you can use the method get_root_element( ) of the interface if_wd_view for this purpose.
next get a reference to the transparent container by using the method get_child of the class cl_wd_uielement_container( using the variable returned from the prevoius call) and cast it to a variable of the class cl_wd_transparent_container. to this method you need to pass the id of your transparent container.
Once you have the reference you can use the method set_visible( ) to make the container visible or invisible at runtime.
However you need to be careful about the placement of this code within the wddomodifyview method because it would get executed every time. Thus the best way is to store the reference to view in a component controller the first time and later on use this attribute anywhere within your component.

Shweta

ActiveX container resizing

Hi All,
I'm running in to front panel sizing issues when I run my program on
different resolutions. I have the "maintain proportions" and "scale
on window resize" options checked in the vi properties but my activeX
container for windows media player doesn't seem to be following that
rule exactly. I have it placed on top of a raised box decoration
where it fits the box perfectly in one resolution but it doesn't scale
like the raised box does at diferent resolutions.
So, is there an option I am missing? If not, is there a way I can
programmatically detect the size of the of the raised box decoration
so that I can manually set the size of my activeX container via a
property node?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Gc.

Hi,
How can i resize the wmp as it always stick the same size ... i using wmp4.0 activeX
Thanks and Regards,

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.

T70 / tx9 touch screen visibility problems - patchy somewhat iridescent hazing

I currently own a tx9 that has served me well for a year and a half. in the past few months, the surface of the touch screen developed an iridescent patchy filmy look that interferes with my ability to know if the picture I am about to take is in crystal clear focus, and as you might imagine, my photos have suffered as a result. the screen functions, and in certain lighting conditions (indirect mid morning light inside my house) I can mostly see what's going on, but generally, it is as though I am taking pictures mostly on faith, and do not know how the images look for certain from a clarity perspective until I upload them to my pc. think of my problem as sort of an oil slick on water, but not swirly lore more like, peeling paint although nothing has peeled off that I am aware of) is there anything at all that can help remedy this visibility problem or prevent it on future t series camera purchases? I have tried simply wiping it, using a lens cloth dampened with lens cleaner, and today just purchased a zagg screenprotector that I have yet not attempted to install as I ran across this forum. i have for the most part kept my camera in a lined carrying case when not in use and in travels. is it advisable to use a screen protector for the oled screen on the tx66? if so, what kind? ( I honestly would prefer to salvage my tx9 if possible and not shell out the three hundred plus dollars for the tx66, especially if this happens again in only two years..and I would hate to have to start looking at other brands. my first Sony, the t70, also had similar problems and I willingly upgraded for the improvement in light sensitivity, but I really am ok with the tech in my tx9 otherwise ) .

There are MANY of us that have experienced the same issue. This is NOT simply damage to the screen due to misuse, it is a failure of the anti-reflective coating. We experienced this with a previous version of the Sony Cybershot and the store we purchased through advised us that the problem had been corrected on the new models. As we have all found out, the touch screen on the Sony cameras has a serious durability issue and Sony has washed their hands of the problem. We will not buy another sony camera again. It's too bad, because the camera is really nice as a pocket camera and performs well otherwise. Had we known that this was going to be an issue, we would have installed a protective film while it was new or simply chosen another camera. We liked the simplicity of the touch screen but the failure of the anti reflective coating makes the screen almost unusable in areas where there is a lot of light. The only solution that we have been able to find is to use a very fine polishing compound and remove the residual coating. It means that the screen will have reflections but it will at least be more usable. Toothpaste and a soft rag will remove the patchy areas of the coating that remains. A touch sensitive screen should be a lot more durable than the one that Sony has been shipping. Sony has really done a disservice to their customers that have spent good money for a product that has a known failure problem. What's worse is that they deny that there is an issue. We all know better.

Hello Antonio;
After many, many test I discovered that the problem, at least in my case it is caused by the new ACR 4.5. Please read the Thread that I post under Camera Raw. I include the link below.
I also open two Bug Reports about this, but as usual Adobe (and other Software Companies) will never take responsability for this, until one day they release a new version with "enhancements".
