How do i use activeX to open and display a MS Excel workbook using LabVIEW?
I have created the attached vi to try to display the excel file ODSHelp.xls however when it is run nothing seems to happen, if you run it again you get a message saying that it is already open.

You can use the activeX container to do that and one more thing is if you want to open an excel file in a front panel, try to put your data in table and I think this is more easier. Open your excel file and get the data and put it into the array and from there you can easily connect to the table. Hope this will help.

How do you get IDcs5 to open and display properly??
Purchased InDesign CS5 and it worked well for the first few months then it decided not to open up properly onscreen? Now when opening all I ever get is a tiny portion of the tool bar appearing in the upper left corner of the screen. If I use the 'expand' button it only fills the screen with a completely blank page which is of no use. So I'm left to resort to manually clicking and dragging the toolbar to open the workspace to fill the screen......even then, it tends to 'snap back' to the tiny toolbar in the upper left corner? This is very annoying and frustrating to say the least! I'm working in a windows environment running Windows 7 if that makes any difference. I've searched but there appears to be no fix for this? Why does it not just open up on screen properly like every other program??? Why can't the folks at ADOBE fix this? The only reason I'm using this program is because one of our biggest clients insists on using InDesign, otherwise I'd dump it! Does anyone know the cause or fix for this? Sure would appreciate it! Thanks!
@Peter – I cannot tell what's going on here, because I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I've seen such a thing in InDesign CS4, but not in InDesign CS5.5 anymore.
However, maybe it is possible to resize the main window by scripting its bounds.
For that, one file must be opened and its window must be resized with JavaScript. At least on a Mac. Could be different on Windows, because some UI elements behave different from OS to OS.
To get the right values for the bounds you could do the following:
Start InDesign, maximize it manually, open a new document. You need not to save it.
Then start the following line of code, that will read out the bounds of the window and present them as text in a "palette" type of window:
#targetengine "session";
//Get the bounds and convert them to a String object:
var myMessageString = String(app.documents[0].windows[0].bounds);
var w=new Window("palette","ReadOutBoundsOfWindow:");
var e=w.add("edittext",[0,0,200,50],myMessageString,{multiline: true,scrolling:true});
e.active = true;
w.show();
As a result you'll get a string of 4 numbers in a "palette" highlighted.
Copy/paste the values together with separating commas to your text editor or the ESTK.
Currently I'm on a MacBook Pro and the numbers I will get with that method are: 22,0,999,1680.
The numbers will be different, depending on your screen size and resolution. They are values for pixels in the form: [top, left, bottom, right].
Now you can close the palette.
That was just the preparation for the following lines of code, that will set the bounds.
Every time after you restarted InDesign, you could execute the following script (you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it):
app.documents.add();
//Exchange the values in the brackets with YOUR values you obtained with the other script.
//Thiese values set the working window to a specific size [top, left, bottom, right]:
app.documents[0].windows[0].bounds = [22,0,999,1680]; //Thiese are the values of my specific MacBook Pro.
//Now we don't need the dummie document anymore. Close it:
app.documents[0].close(SaveOptions.NO);
Like I said, it's working on a Mac.
Don't know if it will on MS Windows.

How to use ActiveX to open/write to Excel template but not to overwrite it
Hi there again (it's me...if anyone recognised me...)
I managed to use ActiveX to open Excel and make it visible onto the screen. But I would like to know how can I make Excel open an Excel template and let me write data to the cells without overwriting the original template. I did try to use another program source such as the EXCEL TOOLKIT but I can't still figure out how does it work for my case. Is there a simpler example for me to refer too? Please help.
Thank you,
juniHi Mike..
I have tried to use the examples provided LabView 6.0. I don't understand how to use the Range value to get the data from my global array and also how to open the template and write data to it.
At the moment, I could only open a saved dialog box and a default string filename is used to save my data into a new Excel but not the formatted excel which I want.
If possible, please help again. Vi attached.

I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get them imported into Word?
Hi,
I checked your account,your Export PDF subscription is in 'Pending' status.
Once it gets confirmed you will be able to use it.
Please let us know if you require further assistance.

Help, how to open and display blobs from tables
Dear all,
I am trying to store ms-word files on a table using a blob column.
Does anyone how to open the files and display them from a form using 9iAS?
Thank you.
Carlos.And there may be, but you won't likely find that here. Do some time searching Google and maybe you'll find code that someone was nice enough to make freely available, although I wouldn't count on it. Were i a programmer and took the time to read those docs and write the code, I'd want to be paid for my time. But there are a lot of programmers who swear by freeware! You may get lucky.

Error code "-2146827284" when trying to open an Excel workbook using ActiveX
Hi all,
i have a problem using ActiveX to open excel files. I get error code "-2146827284" (unknown error) when trying to open a workbook. This problem occurs on only one machine i work with, on the others it works fine. All machines have the same setup, Excel97 and Excel2007 installed on them.
Any ideas??
Thanks

For sure the file is there, the _application object gets created without an error.
Creation of the application object has nothing to do with opening the workbook, which is what is generating the error. If you are getting an error with opening the workbook then you either have the wrong path, a permissions issue, a network issue, or the file is already open. -
How do I configure DW to open and load a file?
I have DreamWeaver CS5 running on a Mac. Whenever I double-click to open a DreamWeaver compatible file (such as an HTML file), if DW is not already open, DW launches but does not load the file. Once DW is launced, I can double-click the file and it will load. How do I configure DW to open and load a file together?
DW: v11 b 4993
OS X: 10.7.4 (11E53)HTML files are normally configured to open in a browser. The default on a Mac is to open the file in Safari.
You can right-click the filename in the Mac Finder, and select Open With > Dreamweaver CS5 from the context menu.
Alternatively, select an HTML file in Mac Finder, and press Cmd+I to open the Info panel. In the Open With section, select Dreamweaver CS5 as the default program, and click the Change All button. -

If this is replacing Aperture and previous iPhoto it is USELESS...WAY fewer options for editing available. New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!Hi.
I have just migrated my library from Aperture to photos. All seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. All of my photos are 'untitled', whereas in both Aperture, and previously iPhoto, the filename was used for the title. If I hit CMD+I and get info, the title is still there as the filename, as I use the filename for all titles.
Is there a way to batch copy all filenames as photo titles, this was done automatically in Aperture and iPhoto, as when photos were imported the filename was used automatically.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks. -
