ActiveX performance

I need to invoke methods in a labview application from visual C. It
seems that ActiveX is the best canidate. I'm concerned about the impact
of the ActiveX 'call' method on the performance of the LV application.
For example, if there are other threads running do they all block until
the 'call' completes ?

Anna,
    Thanks so much for the reply. That helps a lot.
    I am still wondering about one thing, though. According to the documentation, the "A" prefix in a Modbus DSC address means that it will return an array of data, whereas something like the F prefix is for a single precision float. When I create a channel, I pick the F300001 option, and the address that is returned is a range: F300001 - F365534. The range would imply that a series of values will be returned, e.g. an array. I always just delete the range and enter a single address. Is that the intention? Does it return the range just so you know the range of allowed addresses?
   OK, I'm actually wondering two things. Is there a reason why the DSC addresses start with 1, e.g. F300001, instead of 0, like F300000? For the old Modbus API from LV7, one of the devices we have that uses that API has a register at 0. How would that be handled in DSC?
Thanks,
    Dave

Matlab and ActiveX performance

I am playing around with using Labview as an ActiveX server with
Matlab. The anticipated application is to run instrument control
in Labview
and then use ActiveX to transfer data over to Matlab for more processing.
The data transfer speed is surprisingly slow. Over a 100 Mbit
network, two PCs can move a large double-precision 2D array at 6
Mbyte/sec. When both Labview and Matlab are on the same PC (1.4
GHz P4) , the transfer rate is only ~10 Mbyte/sec.
The Matlab code looks something like this:
    LV = actxserver('Labview.Application') ;
    vi = invoke(LV,'GetVIReference','c:\test.vi') ;
    vi.Run ;
    % now transfer the data from Labview to Matlab
    array = vi.GetControlValue('Output Array') ;
I am using tic/toc to time that last line of Matlab code. Am I
doing something wrong or inefficient here, or is this just the way
ActiveX is?

Hello pcyservice
There is NOT a way to downgrade/roll-back/revert to a previous firmware without wiping all data. This is specifically mentioned on the firmware update page:
" CAUTION!
This update is not data destructive, however, ALWAYS back up your data before performing any firmware update!
Once you have updated the firmware, you will NOT be able to revert to an older firmware version."
I recommend you disable any unnecessary features/protocols such as Media Server and Active Folders, then reboot the unit.

Excel Get ActiveX References.vi and closing references -- grrr

I'm new to ActiveX stuff, but eager to learn!
The "grrr" in my Subject line is a reference to how I feel about LabVIEW's documentation from time to time. I'm a dinosaur who came from text-based programming, and did a fair amount of C coding, so sometimes with LabVIEW I'm left with this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach like, "Good grief! How much memory must LabVIEW be hogging up in the background when I use this vi?" or "What happens to those variables (wires) in that subVI when it completes but doesn't close? What are their statuses when I come back in the next time?" or "What if I put a lot of elements into that array the first time and then started from element zero the second time and just put in a few? What has happened with the memroy that was allocated when there were a lot of elements?"
Today I'm stewing about this "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi," and what happens to the "ActiveX references" it generates each time I call the subVI in which "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" lives. I think that at least one of the "ActiveX references" it generates when I call it is of the type Excel._Application. Then there appears to be an Excel._Workbook, and others. You see, I've used "Excel Easy Report.vi" to put some data into an Excel spreadsheet, and I want to tell Excel to do a "Save" on the open spreadsheet. I think ActiveX is the (a) right way to do that, so I'm wading into the ActiveX fray... But this "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" says in its help file, "Do not close ActiveX references opened with the Excel Get ActiveX References VI. References must remain open until the report is closed. Otherwise the error 3001 will occur." Well, these Excel workbooks that get created by my VI could well stay open until after my LabVIEW VI terminates!
So (finally), here are some of my quesitons:
1) When I go through my subVI once, pointing to one workbook, I'll get one set of references "created" or "opened" or whatever you call it when ActiveX references spring into existance. Now, when I exit the subVI, is it going to automatically try to "close" those ActiveX references? I don't suppose so, since subVI's stay in memory until the calling VI closes.
2) Now, I come back into my subVI a second time. New workbook gets created, so I get new references. Ok, fine. Uh oh! What happened to those old references? I suppose that if I didn't somehow save them off, I've probably lost the ability to get them back (maybe I'm wrong, but I don't need them back), but is LabVIEW going to "close" those old references (from previous times through the subVI) because I can't get to them anymore? Won't that cause the dreaded error 3001? If LabVIEW is not going to "close" them, what in tarnation happens to them (the old C programmer in me creeping back out)?? Now it's some oddball, orphaned reference, floating out there, hogging memory, waiting to make something crash intermittently and be a debugging nightmare?
3) Now, here's the real scary one. I think I might dodge the "error 3001" bullet in questions 1) and 2), but now let's say the user closes my LabVIEW application while Excel is still open. All those workbooks are still open. Presumably, all those ActiveX references I was not supposed to close are still open. I really hope that LabVIEW is decent enough to close/erase/delete/blow-away (whatever the right word is) all those ActiveX references which were opened/created by "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" when my program terminates. But, oh no! Won't the error 3001 come along then? I suppose I can just dump it in the shutdown error handling.
Well, thanks for reading my novel. I don't know what can be done with LabVIEW documentation to make it more satisfying to folks like me, but perhaps someone can weigh in on all my ActiveX questions here.
Thank you in advance,
Steve Brady
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to close EVERY ActiveX reference you open. If you don't you'll end up with some Excel processes running even after LabVIEW exits. You can see them in Task Manager.
I, personally, don't like the LabVIEW Report Generation Tool Kit for working with Excel. I don't think it's flexible enough. I have a growing library of VIs that I've written that open, manipulate, and close Excel. Some references I pass from VI to VI and some I close right after I use them. It all depends on what I'm doing. If I want to enter read or write data from/to a certain range I'll get the range reference, read or write the data, then close it right away because I have no use for it any more. On the other hand, when I open Excel or a Workbook I keep the reference until I'm done, which could be later in the program.
1) When I go through my subVI once, pointing to one workbook, I'll get one set of references "created" or "opened" or whatever you call it when ActiveX references spring into existence. Now, when I exit the subVI, is it going to automatically try to "close" those ActiveX references? I don't suppose so, since subVI's stay in memory until the calling VI closes.
2) Now, I come back into my subVI a second time. New workbook gets created, so I get new references. Ok, fine. Uh oh! What happened to those old references? I suppose that if I didn't somehow save them off, I've probably lost the ability to get them back (maybe I'm wrong, but I don't need them back), but is LabVIEW going to "close" those old references (from previous times through the subVI) because I can't get to them anymore? Won't that cause the dreaded error 3001? If LabVIEW is not going to "close" them, what in tarnation happens to them (the old C programmer in me creeping back out)?? Now it's some oddball, orphaned reference, floating out there, hogging memory, waiting to make something crash intermittently and be a debugging nightmare?
3) Now, here's the real scary one. I think I might dodge the "error 3001" bullet in questions 1) and 2), but now let's say the user closes my LabVIEW application while Excel is still open. All those workbooks are still open. Presumably, all those ActiveX references I was not supposed to close are still open. I really hope that LabVIEW is decent enough to close/erase/delete/blow-away (whatever the right word is) all those ActiveX references which were opened/created by "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" when my program terminates. But, oh no! Won't the error 3001 come along then? I suppose I can just dump it in the shutdown error handling.
1) No, LabVIEW will NOT close those references. You need to make sure that happens.
2) You can save the references in a functional global or use a class but if you're not going to save them close them as soon as you're done with them.
3) Your user should not be able to close your LabVIEW application without it going through the shutdown routine you've created for your program. The ABORT button should never be exposed to the user and you should capture and discard the panel close event so your program ALWAYS shuts down is an orderly fashion. If you don't you will have fragments of Excel hanging around in your operating system and will have to kill those processes using Task Manager. That should only be a problem during development, not once deployed.
I used to program in C and Assembly many moons ago. You should have seen my first LabVIEW code. I go back and look at it just so I can see how far I've come in the last 12 years. I feel your pain.

How to disable IE Security Warning on opening a "local" visio file with Visio Viewer ActiveX?

Hello all,
Everyone knows that Microsoft released ActiveX based Visio Viewer for free and allow the users to open Visio drawing and view/print via IE browser.
The problem that I am facing is that some users are complaining about IE browser's security warning on "active content to run in files on My Computer".
It means that opening .VSD files from the network, internet, intranet would be all OK but if the user wants to open .VSD files from the local hard drive (or open it as a mail attachment, which will extract it to a temp folder), it prompt the user to select "Allow Blocked Content" EVERYTIME they open them.
I know that I can GLOBALLY disable this warning by going through Tools - Internet Options - Security section and enable "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" but I hope that there is a way (or workaround) to allow them by file type or location, etc.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to disable those warning for all .VSD only while we still UNCHECK the option on Internet Options?
2. Is there any 3rd party Win32 based viewer which wouldn't have those restriction?
3. Is it safe assumption that McAfee VirusScan and Host IPS protection is sufficient enough to remove the IE's security warning feature?
Thanks in advance?
Young-

Are you able to host/launch the VSD file via an HTM page? In that case you can format the HTM page as shown below. This will trick IE into thinking it is loading the file off of a website. Commonly called 'mark of the web'.

Need help trying to create a ActiveX registered event

I am trying to create a register event for an ActiveX component. The problem I am having is creating the callback vi. When I right click on the VI ref and create the callback vi it is created with the user parameter as a variant. I would like this to be a control refnum. If I open the callback vi and replace the user parameter variant with a control refnum the wire from the callback vi to the VI ref is broken. How do I change the user parameter?

Joe is correct on this one. The callback where designed to take variants as their inputs, so that they are more flexible. In addition Variants are used through out ActiveX programming.
If you have a control reference that you want to pass into the VI, all you need to use is the "To Variant" function in the main VI to turn the reference into a variant. You can then inside the Callback VI you can use the Variant to Data VI to change the variant back to a reference; you simply where a constant of the reference type to the "Type" terminal.

Viewing Crystal 2008 ActiveX on Access 2007 forms

Ok, i am a little confused as there seems to be a some doubt whether Crystal 2008 ActiveX can be used on Access forms. Another thread even has a reply that mentions that the ActiveX control is no longer included in Crystal Reports 2008..... Take a look at this, you can clearly see i have embedded the 2008 ActiveX control onto an Access form. link:[http://www.moktar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AX.JPG]
I have just installed 2008 and will get round to looking at this, however in my brief look, i couldnt see the run time library for 2008. By all accounts you can freely distribute the run time files for Crystal Reports 2008 as MSI or exe packages to your clients. I hope this is the case and i can get the ActiveX working.
If anyone has some information on this subject i will welcome reading it.
This is how its used to be done;
1) Open the Access form in design view.
2) Click on Add Tool button on the toolbar.
3) Select Crystal Reports ActiveX toolbar control from the list of controls.
4) Place the control on the form.
5) Click on the View Code toolbar button to open the code for the form
6) Choose u2018Referencesu2019 from the u2018Toolsu2019 menu
7) Select u2018Crystal Reports ActiveX Design and Runtime Library 11.Xu2019 from the list of references and add to the project.
8) On the Form_Load() event, please use the code given below to pass the report to the viewer:
Dim crReport as CRAXDRT.Report
Dim crApplication as New CRAXDRT.Application
u2018 Use the appropriate path for the report
Set crReport = crApplication.OpenReport(u201CC:\Report1.rptu201D)
u2018 ReportSource property and ViewReport method will not be displayed on the viewer control
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ReportSource = crReport
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ViewReport
'Hey Presto, the Crystal control on the Access form is now displaying a report. However, you had the age old issue of distributing the runtime files to clients that dont have crystal reports installed, and even more so of an issue, as this is Access and no method of doing it. I was hoping that 2008 with its MSI and EXE versions of the runtime files would solve this age old problem.
Thanks
Simon.

Hello Simon,
The RDC was retired after Crystal Reports XI R2 and no longer exists in CR 2008.
The viewer control you are seeing is not meant for RDC applications.
You will need to move to Java or .NET if you plan on using CR 2008.
Best Regards,
Jason

Adobe Flash Player ActiveX deployment doesn´t work in SCCM 2012 R2

I´ve created an Application to deploy Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.189 (last version). I´ve tried to deploy with the msi downloaded from Adobe site, using Powershell App Deploy Toolkit, bat script.. but nothing seems to work 100%.
I have 2500 computers in my company. Working with SCCM 2012 R2.
Some computers doesn´t install;
Some install it but Internet Explorer seems to loose this configuration and doesn´t open flash videos;
Some install but doesn´t uinstall the last version, then you can see two diferent versions installed;
Do you have a definitive solution to deploy Adobe Flash Player via SCCM?

Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server

I have called LabVIEW in TestStand and tried to execute the test cases .
While executing I got the following error: ( Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server.
The LabVIEW adapter will try to reconnect on the next execution attempt.-18001; An error occurred accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server.).

Same error. Is anyone from NI going to bother commenting on this? It's been >8 months...

Integrating custom ActiveX control with SapGUI

Hi everybody
I'm in the process of writing a custom MFC based ActiveX control written in C++ that we want to use in a product. I am currently at the point where I can instantiate the control and interact with the various methods that it exposes but I have a problem integrating the control more tightly with the SapGUI e.g. change of colors, fonts etc.
I want to make the control to reflect the user changes when the user modifies any settings of the SapGUI. I've tried catching various events that are exposed by some of the dictionary classes such as cl_gui_props_consumer=>color_change/global_prop_change and cl_gui_resources=>resources_changed but these events only fire in my control once the PAI of the client program that encapsulates the control fires which is hardly appropriate since it means that the control will have to wait for user input before it will change reflect any changes in user settings.
I've written a test program for my control and when I change my SapGUI colors the rest of the controls etc on the screen do change color but my control only change color once I've performed some action that fires the PAI. Personally I think the controls written by SAP intergrates with the SapGUI through some interface that is called behind the scenes by the SapGUI since the GUI will have some way of knowing the set of ActiveX controls instantiated inside it and I cannot find any event in the ABAP controls framework (e.g. CL_GUI_OBJECT, CL_GUI_CONTROL) that will allow this type of integration. I'll be digging for the answer but any suggestions will by greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Kind regards
Ettienne Hugo

Hello Ettienne Hugo,
To get the SAP GUI Theme or font changes events you need to add your MFC application or ActiveX MFC dll into u201CSAP Configuration->Application Tab->Addu201D and u need to call the functions SapHookInit and to stop getting the change events u need to call SapHookExit.(sapfhook.dll provides these functions)
I tried with exe, never tried with ActiveX MFC dll/ocx. With EXE it works.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashwini

How do I update the ActiveX Flash Player to version 12.0.0.43

The Flash Player help page at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html detects the following if I access it from Interney Explorer 11 (Windows 7 64-bit):
YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
Your Flash Version
12.0.0.38
Your browser name
Gecko
Your Operating System (OS)
Windows (Windows 7)
and informs me that I do not have the latest version of Flash Player. However, the link it provides to download the latest version (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) attempts to install version 12.0.0.38 again.
Is version 12.0.0.43 available for ActiveX? If so, where can I get it? If not, is there something wrong with the detection logic on Adobe's page?
Thanks, Doc.

This appears to be an issue with IE11. Internet Explorer 11 doesn't identify itself as Internet Explorer, instead it's identifying itself as 'Gecko' browser, which uses the plugin, which in turn is resulting in our detection scripts not identifying IE correctly.
Going to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ with IE 10 on Win 7, IE is detected as Internet Explorer (MSIE 10.0):
With IE 11 on Win 7, IE is detected as a 'like Gecko' browser:
I'll forward this information to the folks who handle the detection on that page.

Error Installing Flash ActiveX 12.0.0.77 on Windows 8.1

We use SCUP 2011 to deploy our Flash Updates. Today I deployed the ActiveX 12.0.0.77 to our systems, both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and found errors with the deployments to Windows 8.1. I realized that the SCUP update, from the Adobe Flash Catalog shouldn't have been deployed to Windows 8.1 as Microsoft supplies these updates now. I pulled the deployment back and now I want to change the Installable rules to prevent updating any Windows 8.x / Server 2012 systems.
Is it as simple as changing the Installable Rules to Less Than or Equal to Windows 7 SP1? What is the definition of Custom Version? This is what I currently have...

Please check this flash player admin guide for the details,

Flash 13.0.0.182 ActiveX will not deploy successfully

I have been deploying flash to our 7000 clients via SCCM successfully for the past previous versions. Since 13.0.0.182 came out it has not been installing successfully on our clients. The plugin installs successfully but activeX does not. In fact it is registered in "programs and features" as installed but is not recognized by IE. Flash player settings manager states the plugin version as 13.0.0.182 and activex as not installed. Take a look at the screenshot below.
I deploy activex and plugin as one package and the plugin works great! All of our clients are runing Win 7 Ent. Is there a bug with the flash release???

Have you tried resetting Firefox?: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

Plugin version 13.0.0.182, ActiveX 12.0.0.77

After Flash Player update to 13.0.0.182 for Firefox on Win7Ent PC, ActiveX version stays at 12.0.0.77. Is this correct?

Yes... There are two (2) plug-ins for Windows (3 if you count Chrome's PepperFlash, but it can't be downloaded here)
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If you download and install one, it doesn't update the other and vice versa. But, if you update one, you shoul dup date the other.

Flash ActiveX being deleted with Temp Int files

After installing Adobe Flash Player, whenever I clear the
Temporary Internet
Files, the ActiveX control entry for Flash disappears. This
is the entry in
the Downloaded Program Files. The actual program is still
there
(Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx), but the thing
in the
Downloaded Program Files gets purged.
This is a problem as some websites then think I don't have
Flash installed.
I have this same problem on a Win2000 machine and my WinXP
installation.
I"m using IE 6.0.
Any idea how to correct this?
Gregg C.

I am having the identical problem and would very much like to
find the solution. Does anyone have one?
Thanks,
Stan
