HTML report refuses to be opened

When I'm under "User" or "Guest" login
on WinXP sp2 (FAT32), HTML report refuses to be opened with "Open HTML Report in browser.vi" in IE (the same story with the OPERA, forinst).
When I'm under "Administrator", it's OK.
How can I work it out?
Thanks.

Hello,
Have you tried sharing the National Instruments folder under Program Files? The Open HTML Report in browser.vi uses a core function whose block diagram cannot be viewd (it is password protected), but it probably calls a dll which non-administrators don't have access to. If this doesn't work, I'll play more on my machine as well, but I am having problems creating new users at the moment so I can't try this before posting Let me know the results, and we'll keep searching for an answer!
Best Regards,

Open & print an existing HTML report

I want to open a previously created, saved & closed HTML report for printing. I don't see any thing in the Report Generation vi group for opening existing reports and wasn't sure how to go about it (if at all possible) using the standard file open options to get to a report. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,
To print and view an HTML report you have already saved to disk, just create a new report, and use the "Append User Formatted HTML to Report.vi" to append the entire HTML content of the report to a new report. Then use the "Print Report.vi" and "Open HTML Report in Browser.vi" to print and view it. This is the easiest way I can think of...here is a screenshot showing what I mean:
Hope this helps,

I want to make an application in which I want to search a result string
in all opened Html reports... If I don't want to go to the all
desination and search one by one.. Is there any method to search the
result in all opened reports at that time..
I am very confulsed .. I have no Idea how I am gonna solve it... If anybody can help.. I would really appreciate that.. Thanks..

Thanks Justin I have managed that problem..
I am stuck at another one.. If you can help.. I have also posted addressing you in another relavent Thread..
I have a spreadsheet data which has 286*516 Pixels data. Data is 16bit
(from which only 12bit is usefull). Each data is a Level of a Pixel. I
want to Display Grayscale Image.
I have used 3D Graph to display it and projection XY selected . I am
getting My image as grayscale Image but somewhat slow display if I
continously run it.
Second Method I tried is Directly "some 2D Graph" ( Sorry I forgot the
Name.. I will get it next time) which directly display that 16 bit
spreadsheet file. But it has only 255 levels so it didn't utilized my
data and resolution is poor.
My doubts are..
1. Is 3D graph method I am using is Actually displaying my 16 bit image.
2. In 3D graph method : Because of that 12 bit format of my data and I
had to convert it in 16 bit I am loosing any levels or
Resolution ?
3. Is there any way of increasing 255 level to 16bit level 2D Graph method.
4. Is there any method that can display my 16bit information as a image utilizing all my levels.
Please Do me a favor .. thank you

Why does "Open HTML Report in Broswer" crash on some machines?

I've been using the "Open HTML Report in Browser" subvi to generate simple printable reports from a control program, but the program hangs on the control system PCs. I am running Win2000 with IE on my programming box, but on the XP machines with IE and Mozilla running the LabView 7 runtimes the program will hang in the Open HTML Report subvi every time. Is there any known cause for this? Are there any alternatives?

Hello rsd212,
The behavior we you are seeing is probably due to the security policies set up on your windows XP machine. Have you installed Service Pack 2 on the machine?
One way to check if is this is security policy issue is to force the report VI to open the browser with the System Exec VI instead of using DDE. You can do this by opening the Open URL in Default Browser Core subVI inside Open HTML Report in Browser -> Open URL in Default Browser and changing the code to always run the System Exec version and skip the DDE version.
If this works you can either keep the VI as is or revert to the original version and troubleshoot what security policy is preventing DDE from working on your computer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Matt

Print HTML Report Automatically after Each UUT

Hello
I saw the document on NI site called "Print HTML Report Automatically after Each UUT". That's exactly what I want to do with XML files. So I put it in my sequence file and it works fine, but when it opens the xml file at the first step, there's a pop-up from IE who say that "Scripts are generally safe, do you want to authorise this script" (This message is also displayed when I open my file in files explorer).
So, the print is not automatically anymore as I must answer to this pop-up. does anybody has a solution to bypass this pop-up ?
I tried to use the property silent on the class IWebBrowser2. Inded, the pop-up doesn't appear anymore, but my XML file isn't correctly printed. I supposed the default response of the pop-up (which is no) is applied. So the script isn't executed.
I also tried to configure IE to not display this pop-up : No result
Regards
Laurent

Hello,
I think that you need to configure your browser, can you take a look a this article:

Problem with NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on different machines

We have 5 machines here in our workgroup which have the same state regarding security patches and other system updates. We recently found out that there is a problem with the NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on the different machines.
If I would open the VI on MachineA the control could be loaded. If I would open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineB to MachineA and open the VI the control could not be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineA to MachineB and open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. MachineB could load the version from MachineA and MachineB but on MachineA only the own version will load. I have seen that both versions have the same GUID for the Microsoft Webbrowser but are different in some other aereas.
Since printing HTML Reports is part of the application which will be distributed as application I want to know if someone else have seen such a behaviour or has got problems distributing an application.
Also I want to know which additional information is stored in an Active-X container about the control beside the GUID.
We have Win XP Prof SP2 with MS IE 6.0.2900.2180 on all machines in the workgroup.

Hi Tom,
this is the VI <vi.lib>\Utillitiy\NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi copied from a machine that can load and run the VI and it will print. On this machine the control in the VI is white.
This VI will give the "Control could not be loaded" message on my machine.
The file shdocvw.dll is 2006-10-23 16:18 size 1.460 KB and I verifyed that both machines have the same version of this file.

Cannot choose printer when printing HTML report

Hello,
I have lost many many hours trying to print correctly a report that is composed only of a JPEG image.
After a conversation in the forum, I concluded that the LabVIEW has a bug printing Standard Reports, as it cannot manipulate correctly the margins and the scale of the image. But, when using Standard Reports I could choose which printer to use.
So, I use HTML Reports that print the report smoothly, but the choise of the printer has a problem. No matter which printer is chosen by a Ring Menu, it prints to same printer all the time.
Could you please give me any hint to solve this problem?
I attach the corresponding code:
Solved!

Hey guys, this is Paul with National Instruments.
Being employed at NI I am obligated to provide a big disclaimer about the information I am about to provide:
MANUALLY CHANGING YOUR WINDOWS REGISTRY CAN CAUSE CORRUPTION AND ERRORS IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
With that being said, nikosfs was on the right track by editing his Windows Registry to perform this action. Please see the following steps, and see if it helps further explain what you need to do:
Open the Registry Editor. To do this, click Start >> Run and type "regedit", then press OK.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In this key there should be an entry called Device with values that should match up with your default printer.
Right click on the Windows key, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer1.reg.
Leaving the Registry Editor open, change your default printer. To do this, go to Start >> Settings >> Printers and Faxes. Right click on the printer that you want your report to print to, and choose the option "Set as Default Printer".
Go back to the Registry Editor, it should be noted that the value of the Device entry has changed to the new default printer. Right click on the Windows key again, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer2.reg
These two files may now be used to manipulate your default printer settings in conjunction with the System Exec.vi. The figures below show how to use the registry files and the System Exec.vi.
→ The "/s" in the text field makes sure that this vi will run without interrupting regular user interaction.
→ The path constant is set to "c:\" because the Registration Files were saved directly in the C drive. Change according to location of Registration Files.
Make sure that this operation is called before the Print Report.vi is called, as it will print just to the default printer.

Error according printing html report

I bulid a vi to print HTML report but I have problem printing this report .
I try ever to used some example which national Instrument bulid , such as Report Generation > Text
Report, but ever in this example I couldn't print the file (HTML).

Wisam,
Could you tell us what procedure are you following to run that example? and also what version of LabVIEW you have?
The way you have to run that example (Text Report.vi) is that when you open it, in the control that reads: "Report Type" you select HTML, and also in the control that reads "HTML Save Path" you set the path like for example "C:\test1.htm", now run it and you should have now the HTML format type report. I believe that you also have in that same directory of examples another one called : Example HTML Report Report, that one also shows how to print a report to an HTML file. Try the example you mention setting up the controls that I wrote above and it should work. If not please contact us and we can try to send you an original example and see if i
t works. You can do it by this same means or by direct contact ( www.ni.com/ask ).
Good luck!...

Is there a way to print a Html-Report direktly in LabView?

I created a Html-Report wich includes a jpg-Picture.
Actually there is no way, in the Report Generation, to Print a Html file. I Would be
glad if you have a solution (sub-vi?) to Print a Html file directly in Labview.
Thanks

You can drive IE with Lv through ActiveX: When you have creating an IE
ActiveX reference with Lv, you will be able to open your file and then print
them programmatically...

How to print a html report?

I have LV 6.1 pro and I want after succesfull generate of html report
print them. How?

If you want to print the HTML report, you'll have to use ActiveX to open the resulting report with your web browser and then tell the browser to print it. Of course if you are wanting to print it, why are you using HTML? Why not generate it as a standard report? Or do both--one for printing and one for online publication.

How to print an html report?

In a Test UUT's execution, the process model generates and saves a html report. How can add steps to the process model to print the report each time? I'm thinking maybe somehow using an ActiveX call to open IE and then print (1 step or 2?), but I'm a newbie to ActiveX and don't know what server/class/method to use.
==============================================
David Kaufman
LabVIEW Certified Developer
==============================================

Using Microsoft Word could be a good solution if you actually have it installed in the computer. In some cases, you may not want to have that application installed in the production floor for any reason (licenses, memory space...).
I am attaching an example that shows how to print the report automatically after testing a UUT using ActiveX to communicate with Internet Explorer. It is more likely that any machine would have this application installed since it occupies a lot less memory space and it ships with any Windows OS. Furthermore, there are just 3 steps that do the trick!
The attached zip file contains a modified sequential model. The entry points ("Single Step" and “Test UUTs”) have one new step that calls the "Print Report" sequence (also added to the sequential model). This new sequence has ActiveX steps that call two methods of the “Internet Explorer (IwebBrowser2)”object class exported by the “Microsoft Internet Controls” automation server. These two methods are:
1) Navigate. Allows you to select the html file to load.
2) ExecWB with the first parameter (cmdid) set to "OLECMDID_PRINT" (prints the loaded file) and the second parameter (cmdexecopt) set to OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER" (don’t show the print dialog).
(For more information about these methods, please refer to the MSDN Library)
The example will print the report after each UUT is tested. The "Print Report" step is set to run just if the Report Generation is not disabled (see its preconditions).
This is what you need to do to run the example:
1) Copy the contents of the zip file to: \Components\User\Models\TestStandModels
2) Make sure that the “User Components Directoty” is checked in the Search Directories.
3) Run any sequence using Single Pass or Test UUTs.
WARNING: There is a known issue when using the printing capabilities of the Internet Explorer. This is what is explained in the MSDN library:
"... Internet Explorer prints in the background. This means that the print processing is actually completed asynchronously in a separate thread.Upon return from ExecWB, the print processing may continue for several seconds or even up to a minute or two based on various factors such as the size of the content and how busy your system is currently. The problem is that if you start a print job and then destroy the WebBrowser or close your application before the background thread finishes processing, the thread will abandon its work and the page may not be completely printed..."
There are 2 approaches to work around this problem:
1) Use a delay before destroying the WebBrowser reference (which is done in the cleanup step group of the "Print Report" sequence in the example). This is the approached used in the example. The third step in the “Print Report” sequence is a Wait step. The step is currently set to wait for 3 seconds which has worked for me for almost any report sizes.
2)In Internet Explorer 5 you can work around this problem by sinking the OnAfterPrint event. If you have started a print job, then you should wait to release the WebBrowser until after this event has been received. If you choose this approach you could use the ActiveX events capabilities of Labview or Visual Basic to create a small program detecting this event. There's a simple sample code provided in the MSDN library for VB.
Enjoy!

How to prevent the 'Save [html] Report to File' from overwriting an existing file.

Using LabVIEW 2011 on Windows XP, SP3.
I am trying to use the Save Report to File vi, specifically a html report.
It allows replace and create file.
In my application, I would like to create or open the file. When I try to edit to include those options
and save the vi something breaks as it appears to be an OOP vi.
How can I perform this functionality?
Thanks,
Steve Scoppettuolo

Wait, what do you mean you try to "edit to include those options"? Are you actually modifying a core LabVIEW VI? If you are STOP. NEVER modify VIs shipped with LabVIEW.
Your question is fundamentally not clear. Why do you want to open the file if you're trying to save the report? Are you trying to append to an existing report? If so, the New Report VI has a "template" input. If you specify an existing report file it will be opened for editing. Please review the documentation on the report VIs.

How to control background color of table cell in an html report?

I am using Labview 6.1 to generate a report. In that report there is a table created using the Append Numeric Table to Report VI. I want to be able to programmatically control the background color of each cell in the table. Also, how can I programmatically control the background color of the row and header cells of the same table. I am also generating a second table in the same report using the Append Text Table to Report VI and I would like to programmatically control the background colors of the cells in that table as well. Thanks.

Hi epsilon-d...,
i´m not sure if there is an ready to use function to do what you want, but you can enlarge the available function. Open the "Append Numeric Table to Report.vi" and go to the HTML Case. There you can see another vi which creates the html table. In the VI "HTML Report Table Row" you can add the option: bgcolor="your color" inside of the "TR" tag.
Hope it helps.

Can an HTML report be truncated ?

Can an HTML report be truncated by Labview or Teststand to keep only the header & footer and then outputted to the printer to serve as a traveler?

I'm guessing that you want to be able to just open the file with a
browser and click the 'print' button. I don't think you will be able to do this with the HTML report.
You might be able to do this if you are using TestStand 4.2 and select XML report format. You could customize a stylesheet that would allow you to print just the info of interest.
XML reports tend to be larger than the HTML equivalent...
( PS Nice icon selection! )

Html report naming

Hello All
My question is related to the two attached pdf files.
The Report_BD file shows how I am saving a html report. There is no problem with the vi, it works fine. The issue I have is with the naming convention.
The second pdf shows a directory listing of the report files that are generated.....a html file....and a jpeg file.
I am unaware of the naming convention used for the jpeg file, but its name has no relation to the vi.....example shown LVtemp0337868190917.
Now, most readers are going to say......what's wrong with this...it's only a temp file, but I have a need (believe me) to be able to name the file according to my own convention.
The question.....can somebody enlighten me on how I might be able to PROGRAMMATICALLY change the name as it is created....a name such as "SecondPage"
Thanks for any assistance with this.
Best regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
there are different solutions. The first is you can change the internal code from the library where the file is generated. Another solution is to go through all files, check if it's an image and if yes change the filename to what you need. Remember the original name, open the html report and search for your remembered name inside a <img src=""></img> tag. If you've found it, replace the new name with the old one.
Hope it helps.
