How to implement Com-Objects?

Hello,
I use an ActiveX software which should be implemented in LabView. Now I want to know, if it is possible to implement Com-Objects from this ActiveX software in my LabView Application. When it is possible, where can I find this Com-Objects? Of course the ActiveX components are already implemented in LabView.

hello mobmon,
create an "Automation refnum" - control on your frontpanel (can be found under the "Refnum" palette), then select your object or browse for it (right klick "Select ActiveX class"). after that you have to wire the control with the "Automation open" and "Close Reference" functions from the "ActiveX" palette. After that you have access to methods an properties.
hope it works

You can use Call Library Function node to call that dll file and use it in LabVIEW. Read the help and you will get more details.

How sharing a COM object with severeal test dlls in teststand

I have several tests (dlls) accessing a DAQ board (not VI compliant) thanks to a COM object. I would like to keep one instance of this object, passing its reference to each test dll, instead of creating one in each test. How can I do that with TestStand?

You can do one of two things to store a reference to the COM object in the context of TestStand so that you can pass it to successive steps in order for them to all use the same object instance.
First, if you create the object in TestStand with an ActiveX Automation Adapter step, the method call to instantiate the object should return a reference to the object. If you designate an activex reference type local variable as the property to receive the reference during the creation operation, you should be able to pass this into methods that use IDispatch* parameters, or you can use the TestStand API to access the TestStand variable instead.
The second scenario is very similar, in that if you don't create the object in TestStand but inside of a dll instea
d, you can simply pass the parameter back from a function into a TestStand activex reference property variable or use the TestStand API inside of the dll to set the value of an activex reference property to the IDispatch of the object.
To better understand how to use the ActiveX Automation Adapter and ActiveX Reference Variable Types, look at Chapter 13 of the TestStand User Manual under the section entitled "ActiveX Automation Adapter". I have also attached an example to this post that uses the ActiveX Automation Adapter and ActiveX reference datatype in a sequence that writes data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and generates a chart from the data.

How to creat COM object from dll file?

Hi,
I tried to read about this topyc, but I didn't found eny example that creat
COM object. I downloaded jacob.jar
then I writed:
ActiveXComponent ax = new ActiveXComponent("C:/MyJava/deploy/SMSCom.dll");
Object SMSObj = ax.getObject();
I get error (I put jacob.jar with all athers jars, I don't know way this erre)
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jacob in java.library.path
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
 at com.jacob.com.Dispatch.<clinit>(Dispatch.java)file name: SMSCom.dll
object name: SMSSender
In VB this is the code:
Object SMSObj = CreateObject("SMSCom.SMSSender");
SMSObj.password = pass;
SMSObj.Username = name;
SMSObj.Source = phone;Thanks

In Eclipse:
1- To include jacob.jar for compile / run:
Choose the Java perspective, then in the Package Explorer right-click on the project and choose Properties.
Select Java Build Path from the left pane then the Librairies pane from the right.
Click on Add External Jars button and select the jacob.jar file then click Open then Ok.
2- To make jacob.dll and SMSCom.dll "visible" for run:
Open your Debug (or Run) Java application configuration (the one for your project's main class).
Select the Environment pane then click on Select button.
Select Path and click on Ok button.
Then re-select Path and click on Edit button.
Add the two appropriate folders for jacob.dll and SMSCom.dll in the Path and click on Ok then Apply.

How to Implement Abap Object and Access Key for se24 developers.

Hi every One,
This is Abdul Rahman, Started Learning Abap Objects i want a simple program to be executed i.e. in Local class (Abap program)and as well in global class(class builder).
Also i would like to know When ,Were and Why Abap Object should be used.
prob to Me :- When i wanted execute F8 a Class in se24 Class Builder it is asking me AcessKey , plz if this is required plz any one send Me.
I have this key 36687663221261278694 it is already used in Abap editor , it is not accepting in se24 .
plz help Me , waiting for response ..
thankyou so much
Abdul Rahman.

Hello Abdul
Here are my answers to your questions:
(1) Local classes: Do not use them.
- As long as your class is rather small (few attributes and methods), local classes are ok yet as soon as they become larger you will loose the overview
(2) Global classes: Do use them.
- Make use of global classes even if they are only used for your training. The big advantage over local classes is that you will get used to the classe builder (SE24) which has a plethora of functions.
(3) Executing global classes: Can be done if you have defined an OO-transaction.
- An OO-transaction has a class and one of its public methods as parameters (similar like report transactions). When you all the OO-transaction an instance of you class is created and the public method is called.
(4) Where and Why use ABAP Objects? Everywhere. Anytime.
- ABAP objects is about stability, maintainability and re-usability of coding. These developer aims can be much more fulfilled using ABAP OO means than in classical programming.
Regards
Uwe
PS: There are situations where local classes are quite appropriate and, using ABAP Unit testing, are obligatory.

How to implement a Session Object.

Hi,
If anybody show me any example of how to implement
session object so that I can store any parameters such as user id and use it later on. And also if there is any good web site for reference about using session object.
thanks

You can use the the session.setAttribute and session.getAttribute methods.
For example let's say you would want to store a username in the session after a user has logged on:
String usrname = request.getParameter("username");
session.setAttribute("myStoredUsername", usrname);
you can then retrieve it using the get method. Remember that the entities stored inside a session object are generic objects and need to be cast to be used:
String usrname2 = (String)session.getAttribute("username");
Hope this helps

How can I use a COM object that does not have a type library?

Hello,
I've created a com server in python for which I do not have a type library. I am able to call functions for this application in Python, TCL, I'm sure VB, etc. without the type library.
Must I have a type library registered to use this COM object with Labview? I was hoping I could simply supply the name to the refnum (or the GUID) then call functions by passings strings to the invoke node. This does not seem to be possible - am I missing something?
In the event that I cannot use a com server without a type library. Any recommendataions on how to create one? I'm wondering if I can use the same GUID and create a shell in LabWindows which generates the IDL/TBD file I need for Labview to see my
com server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Timothy

Yes that is true. LabVIEW needs that to configure the Property and
Methode Nodes correctly. Otherwise it would need to have a special
Property and Method Node with a configuration dialog similar to the Call
Library Node, but a LOT more complicated. Not sure many people could
make use of that, and it would be a very tiring experience trying to get
things setup in that way, by going through the edit, test, and crash
cycle over and over again.

How can I call a COM object from a PL/SQL CODE

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to call a COM object from a stored procedure in oracle.
a sample of code
please help,
Hilaire

Are you familiar with external procedures? Basically, you can expose functions exported by a shared library (i.e. a DLL on Windows) to the Oracle database. My assumption is that you'd probably need to write a wrapper DLL around the COM object, since I believe you can only pass fundamental data types back and forth (i.e. no object references). You'd expose the method(s) of that wrapper DLL to the database via external procedures.

How to implement Strategy pattern in ABAP Objects?

Hello,
I have a problem where I need to implement different algorithms, depending on the type of input. Example: I have to calculate a Present Value, sometimes with payments in advance, sometimes payment in arrear.
From documentation and to enhance my ABAP Objects skills, I would like to implement the strategy pattern. It sounds the right solution for the problem.
Hence I need some help in implementing this pattern in OO. I have some basic OO skills, but still learning.
Has somebody already implemented this pattern in ABAP OO and can give me some input. Or is there any documentation how to implement it?
Thanks and regards,

How to specify a type of COM-object activation

How to specify a type of COM-object activation: in-proc, local server etc - in C# client? I want to use a .NET analog of CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER constant. Documentation for used COM component insist that all types of activation are possible.

When you create an instance of a COM object using COM Interop, it is the equivalent of calling CoCreateInstance with CLSCTX_ALL.
(See COM Interop Part 1: C# Client Tutorial.)
If you don't like the automatic behavior, then Create the object manually (PInvoke CoCreateInstance) and just marshal the interface pointer to get a runtime callable wrapper by specifying
MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface) on the result. (The DllImport signature provided at the pinvoke.net link above marshals it this way.)

How register COM object from java?

Hi!
In my user home directory I have myCOM.dll. My sign applet use this myCOM.dll. But before use this dll I must register it (by use regsvr32).When myCOM.dll will be success register my applet can work. The problem is that I can not get answer from regsvr3 (is myCOM.dll are successed registered or not, or is user has a grants to register COM object and so on.)
Again, my java applet can work ONLY when myCOM.dll is registered.
How I can register myCOM.dll from java applet and if registered is not success exit from java applet?

I must not have been clear. I am not asking how to access a COM object using Java, we already have tools to do that.
The question is whether there is a way to define a COM interface using Java. I want to code my COM object in Java. Right now we are using PowerBuilder to code COM objects. I would rather use Java.

Com object implementation in forms 9i

Has anyone actually implemented this? We have a 3rd party application (imaging software) that has .dll's that under forms 5 we have accessed within the forms pl/sql. Under 9i, I understand the need to create a javabean for this com object and then from pl/sql use the fbean package to implement it.
The example I've seen of this is the Microsoft Word one documented in "Client Side OLE Integration from Oracle9i Forms". I find this article to be very confusing. Does anyone have a link to anything that may provide better info?
One particular question I have is do I need to create a javabean on the Jacob package first and then the com objects for my 3rd party application? Or can I just directly create a javabean on my com objects?
Any info in regards to this would be appreciated.

JACOB provides a series of APIs that you can use to call COM methods from within Java So you have to create a JavaBean which does these calls. That JavaBean can import the JACOB classes so you don't have to write that all again.
