List of ActiveX Controls is blank!

When I try and add (or change) an ActiveX icon in AW7.02, my
list of controls is completely blank. It hasn't always been this
way, but it's probably been 6-8 months since I tried to do this, so
the answer to the question, "Has anything changed on your system?"
is, "Yes, lots!"
Anyone else experience this and have any advice? IE7 lists
lots of AX controls (and they all still WORK), so I know they're
still there.
AX controls that I already had in my projects all still work,
too. I reinstalled AW7.02, to no avail.
Thanks...

Hi IceWolf,
I found this function, which should be the script you are using:
PowerShell Multi-Line Input Box Dialog, Open File Dialog, Folder
Browser Dialog, Input Box, and Message Box
And this screen below shows the variable "$multipleLineText" is a single string:
As mjolinor suggested, Please try to use:
$multiLineText = Read-MultiLineInputBoxDialog -Message "Please enter the login names you wish to convert.`nSeperate each user on a different line." -WindowTitle "Users" -DefaultText "Text here..."
if ($multiLineText -eq $null) {
Write-Host "Script Aborted" -f red; write-host "Press any key to exit..." -nonewline; $x = $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyUp"); exit }
else {
foreach ($user in $multiLineText.split("`n")){
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(samaccountname=$user)" -Property * | Select-Object -Property samaccountname,displayname }
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,

  • AcroPDF ActiveX control on Excel Userform --- how to include it when I print the form?

    Here is a screen-shot of my Excel Userform which IS displaying the correct PDF file inside of an AcroPDF ActiveX control.
    Everything works on this form, including an option to print out a full-sized (8.5 x 11) version of the PDF.
    However ...
    I would like to push the "Print this Form" button, and have a paper copy of exactly what you see on-screen.
    The form does print, but the PDF displayed in the ActiveX control is BLANK.
    I also have an Image control  on this same form with code that allows me to browse for an image file (.JPG) which I use for Custom signs ...
    The form prints and the image displayed in the Image Control DOES print with the form.
    The Code:
    Private Sub cboSelectSign_Change()
    Dim MyPDF As String
    If Len(Me.cboSelectSign.Value) > 0 Then
        If Me.cboSelectSign.Value = "(Custom)" Then
            Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = False
            Me.ctlImage.Visible = True
            Me.ctlImage.Picture = Nothing
            If MsgBox("Do you have an image that you'd like to display?", vbYesNo, "Display an Image?") = vbYes Then
                fOpenFileBrowser
            End If
        Else
            Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = True
            Me.ctlImage.Visible = False
            MyPDF = Me.cboSelectSign.Column(1)
            Me.txtPDFpath = MyPDF
            Me.AcroPDF1.src = MyPDF
        End If
        Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
        Me.txtWidth.SetFocus
    End If

  • Excel VBA - ActiveX Control - MonthView not available under ActiveX Toolbox for Windows 8 64bit MS Office 2010

    Hello,
    I have Windows 8, 64bit and Office 2010
    I am trying to get the 'datepicker' (MonthView) ActiveX control toolbox in Excel 2010 as part of a Excel UserForm I have created. I have spent all day trying to find a solution for my problem.
    I opened up the 'more.. ' but the MonthView/datepicker/calendar control is not listed.
    I referred to some articles and confirmed that I do indeed have the mscomct2.ocx file in the C:\Windows\syswow64 folder.
    I followed the instructions as above, opening up the Administrator Command Prompt and changed the directory to C:\Windows\syswow64 and typed in RegSvr32.
    I received a popup screen confirming my registration was successful
    Excel was closed. So I opened Excel and checked out the ActiveX Tool box and clicked on the 'More  Controls', but there was no listing for the Microsoft MonthView control, (nor datepicker/calendar)
    I then downloaded the latest Windows Common Controls 2 6.0 from the following site
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297381
    Copied the original file (2008) and saved it elsewhere on the computer for safekeeping.
    Extracted the new mscomct2.ocx.
    Under the C:\Windows\syswow64 I changed the original file properties to allow me to overwrite it with the new file. This worked … old file replaced.
    I then registered the new file via the Administrator Command Prompt (as above) and was notified that it was successful. I rebooted pc and went back into Excel to find the MonthView in the
    ActiveX toolbox, More Controls… and it still wasn’t there …
    I would be very grateful if someone could advise how I can get this control and allow me to use it.
    If I have left out any information that you need to resolve this issue, please advise.
    Cheers,
    TheShyButterfly
    Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterfly

    Hi George,
    Thank you for checking this out ... :)
    I am using Office 2010 64 bit ...
    I found the
    mscomct2.ocx file originally within the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory (this was an original file .... which I expect was installed via Microsoft at the time of the Office installation.
    As I mentioned above, I followed
    the instructions (same as the ones you suggested), but still no go, even though it stated that the registration was successful ! :(
    Why weren't these features included in the 64 bit ? ... yes, I read the article ... but ... so MS doesn't think that people/developers would be needing this in due course?  I installed the 64bit version because I'm running the Win8 64bit version ...and
    I deal with a lot of large spreadsheets and can't afford to sleep whilst they decide to load.
    If MS included all the other ActiveX controls and some obscure ones, surely some bright spark could have thought that something as useful as MonthView should be included as 'basic' necessity when dealing with forms and sheets?
    Perhaps you could pass the suggestion up the line .... there are a lot of other people out there having the same problem ... I found heaps when I was looking for a solution.
    Sorry, I'm not having a go at you, but just incredibly frustrated .... the amount of lost productivity directly cause by trying to find a solution that doesn't exist ... it's been at least a good solid 24 hours.
    But thank you for taking the time to review my post and your suggestion. It's unfortunate that because you are part of the organisation ... you tend to cop some slack from frustrated people like myself.
    In relation to the pictures/screen dumps, 2 of them made it (I can see them in my post) ... one I deliberately left out because there was nothing on there that showed anything other than the rest of the 'More Controls' - nothing to do with the MonthView.
    Please feel free to escalate this to the powers that be ... and hopefully enough people will join the voice so a change can be made (I can dream ... can't I?)
    I've taken a screen dump of the Forms/ActiveX toolbox.
    I don't know what the next step is ... I guess you'd be able to advise.
    Cheers,
    TheShyButterfly

  • How to set Print...More Options...Current View in ActiveX control?

    I am using Visual Studio 2012 to develop an application that will open large PDFs (24" x 36") and allow the user to zoom to a particular part of the document. I want to give them a Print button on my application to simply print the Current View of the document to the default printer. I want limited customer options, so no showing the Print Dialog, etc... This will be for general customer use. I am trying to do this with the Acrobat Reader ActiveX control. If this cannot be done with the ActiveX control, I thins something I could do with the full Acrobat SDK? Thanks!

    The Reader control actually does what I want pretty well. I set the mouse wheel to allow zooming, the hand tool to drag the document around works easy and fast. I just need to turn off some of the Acrobat Toolbar options and set this Print Current View option.
    This is frustrating as back in Acrobat Reader 7 or 8 I think, you could set the Current View in the Print Dialog and the setting would stay until it was specifically changed. Now it reverts per print job, thus I now having to code against the Reader control, or other, to get around it, to keep the user from having to set this option each time (and the user will change frequently as they are walk-in customers)
    Anyway with this additional list of requirements, do you thihnk I still cannot do it with the Reader ActiveX control? If not, and I need to use the SDK, do you mean I would have to buy a full copy of Adobe Acrobat and install on that system for the application to work? If so, do I also need to buy another full copy of Adobe Acrobat for my development system so I can write code and test the application? If I need a full copy for the Dev computer, does Adobe have any kind of reduced pricing for a Dev version?
    Thanks!

    Expand the following registry subkey
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
    Delete the extra (parasite) zone from the Zones subkey

  • No longer able to insert ActiveX controls or use existing ActiveX controls in Word documents

    Using Word 2010 32bit on Windows 7.1 64bit OS.
    I have a document with several ActiveX controls that I use as a template to generate new documents.  This morning I installed the monthly roll-out of Windows/MS Office updates and then rebooted.  After rebooting, when I opened my Word document,
    I could not use the controls. 
    As far as I can tell, the controls are not disabled in security but are actually not recognized.  If I go into Developer Mode and open the Properties from the context menu on one of the ActiveX controls, the Properties dialog opens but shows properties
    for the main document and not for the control.  If I try to drop a new ActiveX control in a blank document, I get the following message from Microsoft Word: "The program used to create this object is Forms.  That program is either not installed
    on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install Forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in Forms are closed."  I have not been able to find any information on a program called "Forms".  Is this some component
    of Word that has been corrupted?
    I don't think there is any problem with the actual document because I can still open and use it on another machine running Word 2010 (where the latest updates have not been installed).

    Among the monthly updates for March 2015 is a series of updates that should correct the problem. Use Windows Update to get them.

  • How do I update my ActiveX controls without breaking existing VIs?

    Hi, I'm new to LabView. I've inherited a labview application that makes use of several user-written VIS. All these vi files use an ActiveX control. For better or worse, the way they've done it is to put a ActiveX Container on the front panel. They then picked "Insert ActiveX Control", and picked the correct OCX. In the block diagram, they set up a "Invoke" Node and wire the ActiveX control to that.
    The problem occurs when I update the ActiveX control. I added a couple of methods and reregistered it. When I run one of my vi files, I get:
    Error 0 occurred at VI Open & Init Spinstand
    Possible Reasons....
    I then thought that going to the front panel and deleting the ActiveX control and reinser
    ting it would work. Instead I got the message:
    Error 1598667368 occurred at VI open & Init...
    I should point out that I'm not even attempting to use the new function yet; I'm just running an old .vi file with the updated ActiveX control.
    The version of LabView I'm using is 6.0.2. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is there a way to gracefully update the ActiveX control? I'm I adding ActiveX controls in the best way?
    Any help or references would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Updating *.OCX OR *.DLL Component When Active X Automation Interface has Changed
    Given that you have changed the ActiveX automation interface, e.g: by appending new functions, then, the original 'registered' ActiveX server automation interface is no longer compatible with the new one.
    In this case you must: (1) �un-register� the original interface; (2) Copy the New *.OCX/*.DLL File over the previous ones; (3) Then �re-register the new interface�; (4) After that you must visit ALL your LabVIEW Diagram �PROPERTY� and �METHOD� ActiveX automation nodes and re-reference those same functions.
    These FOUR (4) Steps are further explained below:
    1. Unregister the *.OCX or *.DLL file by running the command
    Regsvr32 /u ��
    Make sure that points to the full path name for your *.OCX or *.dll file. You must use the opening and closing quotes if your file path has spaces.
    2. Copy the new *.OCX or *.DLL files over the old ones
    This means that you will be over-writing the old *.OCX or *.DLL with the new files. Replacing these files is re-commended so that you do not end up with multiple copies of the same file.
    3. Register The New *.OCX Controls
    Register the new controls by running the command
    Regsvr32 ��
    This will now honor your new ActiveX automation interface in place of the last one.
    4. Re-Visit All �PROPERTY� and �METHOD� Nodes and Re-Reference the same functions that appear in those nodes
    This means that you will be right-clicking on all the existing PROPERTY and METHOD nodes and choosing the functions accordingly from the drop-down list-view/menu. If the list view is grayed-out, then Steps 1 to 3 did not take!
    NB: GOTCHA FOR *.DDL Users
    If you have sub-VIs that use the *.dll Ref icon then you will have to cut and re-insert this reference control in all those sub-Vis. A quick way is to copy the top level *.Dll ref icon and paste it over the control and indicator versions of the same in those sub VIs.
    These four Steps plus the 'Gotcha Step' have worked consistenly when I have had to update ActiveX controls featuring a changed automation interface.

    You should go to this site to see what versions of Flash Player and Shockwave Player you have installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    The versions you are listing (10.0 r12, 10.0 r2) appear to be Shockwave Plauer versions, not Flash Player.
    If you want to uninstall Flash Player, there should be an uninstaller in the install directory.  I do not know where that is on Linux.

  • Digital signatures in Acrobat activex control

    Hi, can anyone help me please.
    I'm embedding the acrobat reader activex control inside a winforms application (C#).
    I can load a document and it does display on the winform application.
    Now, in the PDF document, there is a signature field, so when you click on the signature field it is suppose to pop up a window that acquires the signature from a signature pad (I've got a topaz and wacom signature pad connected to the pc).
    Instead a different signature window is displaying, where you select from a list of certificates to be inserted.
    Now, first of all is it possible when using the activex control to obtain signatures from external devices like my signature pads? I just can't seem to get this to work.
    Regards
    Gerhard

    It is Adobe Reader X, yes it does work with Reader in standalone mode, no web browser also the same thing, doesn't pop up the window to select the signature pad to get the signature from.

  • ActiveX controls not downloaded when using Internet Explorer 10

    We have many legacy applications developed using ASP and VB(InterDev). Our organization is moving to use Internet Explorer 10 in the near future.
    We had a IE10 compatibility testing for our legacy applications and we observed that the applications using ActiveX controls are not working. Applications works perfectly fine with the older version of Internet Explorer.
    We looked for the various workarounds but we did not find any.
    Some application does nothing when we click on a button to generate the report but some applications throws the below error:
    <div id="x_x_imcontent"> <div style="font-size: 9pt; direction: ltr;">"ActiveX
    control failed to load! -- This control is required to use the Address Book and Attachment features.  Please check your browser security settings and/or contact PC Support to install the digitally signed control."</div>
    </div>
    We will be glad if we get any assistance on this issue.

    Hi,
    Please post your ActiveX feature testing scripts to the IE Web Developer forum.
    (f12>Debug tab, search for ActiveX.... you should be able to find code blocks where you are feature testing for your ActiveX controls eg var ourcontrol=new ActiveX('foobar');
    these code blocks will be the origin of the error messages that are injected into the page. (you can also search for where the "ActiveX control failed to load" string is in your code.)
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/home?forum=iewebdevelopment
    IE10 has ActiveX filtering.... a blue circle with a line through it appears in the Address bar if any ActiveX content is blocked by Tools>ActiveX filtering.
    IE10 has Enhanced protected Mode turned on by default in the Internet and Restricted Zones. I assume that you are mapping your test domain to the Intranet zone (where EPM is turned off by default and x32 bit controls are used.... if not you should see information
    bars asking for permission to run the 32bit activeX controls)
    Ensure you are using the Default IE security settings, (and also that you have applied the new admx files to your GPO and GPEdit control panels....)
    Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
    Ensure your test environment maps to the Intranet Zone (File>Properties) and that Enhanced Protected Mode is turned off for that zone (Security tab of Internet Options)
    Ensure that your ActiveX controls are enabled (Tools>Manage Addons>Show all Addons) and that they have the correct permissions..... find them in the Addons manager and then click the item in the list to display their properties and permissions... at
    the bottom of the Addons Properties there is a textarea with "You have approved this addon to run in the follow websites"... you testing and production domains should be listed.
    For the best solutions/answers you should probably open a support ticket at support.microsoft.com so a support engineer can access your testing environment and do some tests.
    Regards.

  • In PowerPoint I Have Shockwave ActiveX Control - How do I Get Shockwave Flash Object?

    I'm running the latest versions of Windows 7 and PowerPoint via Parallels on my Mac. I want to insert a Flash movie into a PowerPoint slide. The instructions I've found tell me to look in Developer section->More Controls, find Shockwave Flash Object, use it to insert a Flash Object, and then to edit the Movie property of that object. But, I do not see Shockwave Flash Object. Instead I see Shockwave ActiveX Control. The properties of Shockwave ActiveX Control do not include a Movie property.
    I have gone to "http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" and clicked the option to install the Shockwave Player, but the site says the Shockwave Player is already installed.
    How can I get the Shockwave Flash Object for PowerPoint into my installation?
    Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

    Hi Vik..  I don't use Powerpoint but I do know about Shockwave Flash Object. It is in the manage add ons and installs when Flash Player is installed. It is an ActiveX Control and if you have the latest FP installed, Flash10d.ocx should be listed on the same line. It may or may not list the version #, which would be 10.0.42.34. It must be enabled.
    Beyond that info I could give you a link to a thread that involved powerpoint 2003 and 2007 if you think that would be of
    any help to you.
    Just post back.
    Thanks

  • Roxio MyDVD Basic v9 installer when I run any ActiveX Control in Excel.

    I built a pop up calendar to insert dates. It works perfectly except that the first time I try to run it after opening the spreadsheet, it launches an installer for Roxio MyDVD Basic v9. I always cancel it and the macro still works as intended.
    Now, this wouldn't be a big problem if I was the only person using the spreadsheet file. Since I'm distributing this as a template to coworkers, I don't want them to freak out when this happens, so I'd rather just stop it from trying to launch Roxio MyDVD.
    I've figured out that it has to do with the Microsoft MonthView Control I used in creating the macro being an ActiveX control. I know this because I can open up a new excel workbook, go to VBA and create a new UserForm. As soon as I place an ActiveX control into the blank UserForm1, the installer for Roxio MyDVD launches. I let it run its course, but it cannot complete the install because the "resources needed are unavailable" on our network. I'd rather not have it run at all. Understandably, our network security is pretty high, and I assume my security settings don't allow it. Since the function I use still works without this installed, I don't get why it keeps reaching out to get it. Nor do I know how to stop it.

    Fixed it.
    Attached is the complete export given by Microsoft System Information. It provides a lot of information and if you need more then let me know.
    Luckily, it seems that MsiInstaller has been reporting errors to Windows while it flickers. You'll find these in the system report and they helped me track down the problems. The errors stemed from this:
    Detection of product '{518930BE-7875-4547-B026-20B92F695781}', feature 'DataSocket.LVW71RTE' failed during request for component '{FC3E0B6E-F62B-11D1-B144-00C04F990B2B}'
    For some reason, it was trying to install these things and it began to fail after the software was uninstalled because the keys it was looking for no longer existed.
    I also found a lot of what looks like data c
    orruption related to NIDAQ stuff in my registry. For instance, many of my Microsoft common controls (like TabStrip) contained a value named InprocServer32 within their InprocServer32 key that had not previously existed. As random as it looks, the value always contained the following string:
    G!P5BM[^==)9LRdDWOXQDataSocket.LVW71RTE>j^8!E}1.(?​KY(JMzo[{A@-HK,BS+T93)NrWc5@!pDataSocket.LVW16>j^8​!E}1.(?KY(JMzo[{A
    Note that the same string "DataSocket.LVW71RTE" as in the error is contained in there.
    Also, deep in the registry there was this key:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ins​taller\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\EB03981557877454​0B62029BF2967518\Features
    ...that appeared to contain all sorts of gibberish. I have attached an export of that key as well. For example, the value ActiveX.LVW71RTE was set to:
    J$YfbexG-?m!AbH6US{*Msu*X]isJ9X{tiy(&XkvRun_Time_​Engine.LVW71RTE
    I can't tell you what was the exact cause of MSVC6 always trying to install these thing
    s and, for all I know, that "gibberish" is actually meaningful, encoded data but deleting those whacked out keys has eliminated the issue.

    I am running firefox 4.0.1

    Your plugins list includes "IE Tab 2".'' If you are running the page in IE Tab'', then in theory ActiveX could run, but IE Tab is subject to the security restrictions established in IE Internet Options. This includes your "zone" settings for what types of ActiveX controls are permitted to run, and "kill bits" stored in the registry so that web sites cannot use unsafe ActiveX controls. To debug ActiveX issues in detail, you probably should load the page directly in IE where it will be easier to adjust the settings.
