How do I register ActiveX controls?

As fas as I know I have two copies of the same version of MS6.0. When I bring code in from one copy to the other I get the message
"The Active X Control cannot be instantiated."
I hit OK and it says:
"The Active X Control {bunch of hex values} is not registerd on this computer. Register the control and try again."
If I remove all my cwdiolines and cwdioline and cwdioport and cwdioports stuff and add the control again from the Registered ActivX Controls folder it doesn't help. If I remove any DAQ device I have installed and reboot the computer and then run the program's exe file it works. It's always when I load the project's workspace that I have this problem.
Any info on how to register ActiveX controls without d
oing another reinstall?

Sorry. Please disregard this post. I thought it was trying to register two of my cwdio DAQ controls but it was complaining about an ActiveX text box control that I forgot to reinstall after I rebuilt my system.

How to install the ActiveX control

hi Can some one help and tell how to install the ActiveX control.

ActiveX runs on Internet Explorer. Which in turn only runs on Windows computers.
So NO, we can't.

How can i use activeX Control in labview?

how can i use activeX Control in labview?
please describe me step by step.
thanks.

Well..that was quite helpful..but now I'm encountering certain problems. I've attached the VI I've made.
I don't need sound at the moment so I dropped it. (Although I tried to play it..but all I could hear was a very annoying sound.) Secondly I don't want to display any date or time..so i dropped that property too.
Now when I run this Vi...the webcam turns on, the screen of videocapx pops up..then the webcam light goes off..and another pop up appears saying..labview is not responding..and i have to close it reluctantly.
I haven't placed the stop capture property in this vi. i checked it by placing it too..but that doesn't work.
I would like to notify that my actual task is to acquire image and then compare it with another one already present on my pc. I want you to please help me out..solve my first query then I'll proceed with the latter part.

How does labVIEW use ActiveX controls?

How does labVIEW use activeX controls?
I recently wrote an activeX control in VB and noticed that it would not work if the control was set so that its properties could not be set in ambient mode. This may suggest that labVIEW uses some activeX controls only in ambient mode.
Is this the case or are there more complexities?

Dan,
Which version of LabVIEW do you have?
As per the KnowledgeBase bellow, in versions of LabVIEW prior to 5.1 you would get errors accessing the ambient properties.
ActiveX Controls in LabVIEW 5.0.1 Containers Cannot Access Ambient Property
Do your controls use the Ambient.UserMode to determine when the control is being used in a development environment? When embedding ActiveX controls into a container on the front panel, by default, the ActiveX control generates and responds to events, i.e. it is running, even when LabVIEW is in edit mode.
Right-click an ActiveX container and select Advanced»Design Mode from the shortcut menu to display the container
in design mode while you edit the VI. In design mode, events are not generated and event procedures do not run. The default mode is run mode, where you interact with the object as a user would.
Information can be found in the LabVIEW help files

Registering ActiveX Control

Hello,
is it possible to create an installer that automatically registers an
ActiveX-Control if this is not available on the system? If not what can I do
instead?
I want to use a TreeControl (MS Common Controls) in my project (LV 6.1).
Which version of the control should I use to assure that it runs on any
Windows up from 95 to XP? Has any Windows System this Control installed by
default or is it delivered with other software?
Thanks, Marko.

Hi,
This is possible.
This is how. You have to make a vi, that calls "reg32svr.exe" with the name
of the control (ocx, or dll). Make an executeble from this vi.
BTW, you should check if the are installed first. Make a sub vi with the
controller, and get any property. If the control is not loaded, it needs to
be register.
In the installer, you can give a name of an executabel to start after the
run time engine is installed. Tell it to start the fresh executable.
For the tree, you need mscomct2.ocx and mscomctl.ocx. Don't know about the
version, just use the ocx's that are on the PC.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Register activeX in "create installer"

Hi
Dose anybody knows how to register an activeX during setup
with the installer that has been created with the "application builder of Labveiw".
Best regards
Behzad

If you have activex controls that you need registered after an install, do as Jean-Pierre suggested and use the 'run executable after install' option in the installer. Create an executable that registers the activex controls. I'm attaching code I use to register controls.

Flash player 10.1 Help ( ActiveX control and Download manager)

I've been trying for several hours to download the new flash player 10.1. I tried everything in the FAQ and still nothing. I tried un-installing the older version that I had (9.3.3),   and still nothing.Then when the download manager gets to the end of the download, it keeps saying Error: Installation failed but Adobe Air was still able to download so the problem is obviously flash 10.1. Then it tries to finish installing it and when its done it says that it couldn't register ActiveX control and that error 19166 occured. I already enabled ActiveX so I dont know what the problem could be.
Help would be appreciated and could someone explain what error 19166 is and how to register or install activex
ps. I had this problem a while back but somehow I was able to download flash version 9.3.3, so even if I can't download 10.1, can someone give me a link to download version 9 instead.
System information: Windows 7
                              Internet explorer 8
                              32-bit
                              Norton 360

Thanks for your reply.I've tried/done everything on that page and I'm still having issues. And I've already disabled Norton and windows firewall and still nothing works.

Registerd ActiveX Controls

When I select the Project Menu and then add Components and controls I am presented with two folders, Registered ActiveX Controls and Visual C++ Controls which are both in the .\Gallery folder.
What determines the contents of these folders? Why would I have different entries in one computer running MS6.0 and VC6.0 as compared to another? Is it a service pack issue? I can't think of what else could possibly be different.
For example, one computer has a RichText control plugin that says I have to have a license to instantiate and the other computer, with apparently the same installation, doesn't have anything similar to that. Conversely the second computer has Microsoft Forms 2.0 controls that the first doesn't have.

Thanks Chris. It turned out to be Microsoft Office 97 that was dropping the Microsoft Forms 2.0 controls into the Registered ActiveX Controls directory. I used the Microsoft Forms 2.0 TextBox control to create a CVI style text box. I can't type in it from the dialog, like in CVI, but it's easy to setup from the dialog box and the ActiveX interface is friendly. Seems like it might be something people would want to experiment with since so many people have Office.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

Why did you ignore my post about Flash Player failing to register its ActiveX Control?

Three days ago I submitted a precisely-worded description of a persistent installation problem: Every time I attempt to download and install Flash Player V. 16 on my laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit and IE 9, the download completes successfully, but at the end of installation, a dialog box gives this message
"ActiveX Control failed to register."
I presume that your installation software was unable to write something into the Windows Registry. Other software has no trouble writing to my Windows Registry. My anti-virus software is not blocking the Registry.
I expressly asked for an Adobe staff member to guide me on how to debug this failed installation.
All I got was zilch. Your forum software assured me that my request was posted, but I have not seen it on the list of recent posts. You made it disappear and did not respond to it. Your company does not provide any other avenue for a distraught user to obtain technical support. Your dismissive attitude toward your customers and user community is even more distressing than your bloated, malfunctioning software products.
Without Flash Player installed, my computer has been dead in the water for ten days. I can't do my work. If I am forced to write my own Flash emulator just to get my work done, then I won't need Adobe anymore.

Hi Pramananda,
You're previous post wasn't ignored. Assisting users on forums is not staffs primary responsibility and we try to assist users as our time allows, in between our responsibilities. Creating multiple posts for the same issue also doesn't help as it simply forks the problem and results in responses to both, causing confusion.
Failure to register errors are normally caused by registry permissions issues, not user permissions issues. Please review the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note as it addresses this issue.
Maria
P.S. I locked your other thread so that responses will only be posted to one location, eliminating forked responses and confusion.

How to control and display video from IP camera using ActiveX control over Internet.

Hello,
I need to control my IP cameras over the internet. I need to log into the cameras and then display the video. There's an ActiveX control registered on the computer and works fine with IE to access and control the cameras. Controlling the cameras using IE works fairly well, but there are some quirks that I'd like to eliminate by using my own custom code.
Has anyone created a vi that controls a Foscam FI8905W over the Internet? I’ve attempted, but I keep getting a catastrophic failure when I try to call ManagementConnect Method in the DVM_IPCam2 ActiveX Control Module V1.0. I'm not sure whether I need to establish an IP connection with the cameras first, or allow the ActiveX control to establish it for me.
Some example code would be greatly appreciated. Running LabVIEW 2011 on a Win7 32bit. Even some code used to control a similar device using ActiveX over Internet would be helpful.

I have an example vi for interfacing to the foscam activex.
I plan on using mouse click events within the activex window to trigger the PT function.
I only have the basic up/down/right/left directions and not the down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left in the enum. You can load the camera's web page and view the source to see the Java script code that uses the activex control. There are definitions for the other directions.
I had to mark the control as "Disabled" to keep click events from going to the activex control. If I double click the control, it goes full screen. If I then click on it to get out of full screen mode the video never returns or returns to the wrong spot in the VI.
