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.)

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.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser? So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'. Is that really the only way? The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I should have been more specific. I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome. While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.

An error occurred while trying to communicate with the web browser.

I have opened a PDF in the Acrobat reader V 8.2.4. It has live links.
Only the FF browser is open.
When I click a link in the PDF, I successfully get the message 'The document is trying to connect to...' which I allow and then successfully hyperlink to the web page displayed in FF.
When I click an image in the PDF, which has a url attached to it, I get the message 'An error occurred while trying to communicate with the web browser.'
[Sorry to say in IE7 when I click the image, I hyperlink to the web page like I do when I click the link.]
Question is: What setting or other step do I need to take with FF so when I click the image in the PDF I link to a web page like I do when I click the link in the PDF?
Thank you!

Error when opening page with the web browser activex

I have downloaded the example for using the web browser activeX component to display a web page. It basically works, but it keeps returning an error (from NI's web site) that I don't see when opening the site from IE. The message I get is:
Are there things that need to be initialized when calling the browser in this way?

Mike,
It looks like ni.com is not supplying that particular console object which is causing an issue with the embedded instance of IE9. Every other website I've tried works correctly. I've looked around the ActiveX methods to intercept and ignore this error, but I haven't found anything yet.
For others' reference, here is the link to the example:

MacBook Air freeze and need to be restarted when downloading with a web browser only!

Here is my configuration:
- Macbook air 2012, mountain lion.
Here are the symptoms that affect the computer:
- The computer freezes when I try to download a file through a web browser (tested with chrome and safari). I can download through the Appstore for instance.
So I have to turn it off by long pressing the off button.
Then when I restart it reboot without worries or it restarts again by freezing and by 3 beeps when the desktop appears.
- What I tried to do:
Checking permissions and disk and no problems detected.
Reinstall osx partition from the partition recovery hd, but I got an error when preparing the installation.
I wanted to mention that this problem started to appear when I downgraded parallels desktop 8 to 7 and running my boot camp with parallels 7 but with higher configurations!
and it crashed several times.
I also read that the number of beeps had a precise meaning.
Thank you

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.

Bean always on top with Enh Web Browser javabean?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to implement the Enhanced Web Browser javabean from the javabean community site in my applicaton. For reference sake, here's a link to it: http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-5029633.html
I have been able to get the javabean to work and it displays webpages just fine. However, once it does display the web page when I move another form's window over it, the web browser bean stays on top and doesnt go underneath the other form's window as a window normally would. The form itself that contains the javabean, does get covered up... it's just the javabean portion that always stays on top. Note that also when the screen is just blank with no url/webpage it works like a normal form and if I move another form over it, it is hidden as usual.
I am using Forms 10.1.2.3 and Java 6.10.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a workaround?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
sorry I can not help you, but I am interesting to check this demo.
I have tried the JDIC Browser incl. Oracle Maps with Swing and it works fine:

but I get a error from JDIC in the certified cache trying to start as WebStart.
Can you write a short DoList of deployment this Enhanced Web Browser javabean please ?
Many thanks,

Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
Ubuntu bug...
You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

Firefox opens all adobe files with firefox web browser. I disabled add-on, but it still does it. How can i disable this feature?

All adobe files now automatically open in firefox web browser, even when opening them from widows explorer. I want all adobe files to be opened in adobe reader as a default. Yet I disable the plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 and it still does this. I can't use firefox this way.

When you open a PDF file that you saved to your computer, by double-clicking the file, does it open with Adobe Reader or with Firefox?
If the PDF file opens with Adobe Reader then follow the instructions in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] to set Adobe Reader as the application for Portable Document Format (PDF) in your Firefox Options for Applications.
If the PDF file opens in Firefox when you open it from your hard drive, even though you have Firefox 33 installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox:
#Download the latest Firefox version (currently 33.1.1) from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] and save the setup file to your computer.
#*Note: You can use [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?scene=2#download-fx this link] for the online (stub) installer or choose the full installer for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page].
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the Exit button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
#Reinstall Firefox using the setup file you downloaded before.
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data.

Hi, this dind't help.
I can resolve host name, so it looks like DNS works:

I didn't change DNS records - it is default as it was after installation of system and FCs.

I'm afraid I do not understand your question...
"browser can not dipslay all object"- What object?
"Web page event"- What event?

Opening Telnet with a web browser

Hi,
I don't know if I'm posting this thread in the right forum, I hope I am. I want to have a web page and, when the user selects a link, I want a telnet prompt to be opened in the user's computer. Not a embeded one, but the actual telnet program they use on their computers. Does anyone know if there's a way to do it using servlets, JSP, Java...?
I know this does it, but it will open the prompt in the server.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c telnet 201.78.23.122 1234");Is there an equivalent I can use to do it on the client's side?
Thank you

You could try using a telnet URL. Something like this:
telnet://201.78.23.122:1234
Of course, the user's browser needs to be configured correctly to call the telnet client. In Windows, try AbsoluteTelnet. It configures your browser for you so these types of telnet links will work properly. SSH links too:
ssh://201.78.23.122:1234
