Measurement Studio ActiveX graph control vs LabWindows graph control

Hello,
we are redesigning our software and in this context we are deliberating whether to replace the LabWindows CVI graph controls with the Measuremnt Studio ActiveX graph control in our software. Can we be sure that the ActiveX Graph control provides the same functions as the LabWindows CVI grahp control? We are using almost everthing of the graph control. Is there any documentation about the differences?
The other question for us is: is the ActiveX graph control just as performant as the LabWindows CVI graph control?
Thanks for reply

Now I understand. In that case, the MStudio ActiveX control probably will work better for you. We don't have any side-by-side comparisons of the graph controls, but I can tell you that the ActiveX graph does support Cursors and I am not aware of any specific limitations to the ActiveX graph compared to the CVI graph. We also do not have documentation for those controls online, so you will have to install Measurement Studio in order to view the help for those controls.
When I said that MStudio is now targeting .NET, I mean that Measurement Studio no longer supports VB 6 or C++ MFC and only supports .NET. This may change in the future as technologies change, but for now the focus is on .NET support. Primarily C# and VB .NET. You can use the Measurement Studio .NET class libraries in Managed C++, but you will not have assistance from Measurement Studio's Visual Studio integration features. Also, all the help and support resources are for C# and VB .NET, so there are no examples or code snippets to help you get started. Even though Measurement Studio for C++ MFC is now legacy, you will likely have a better expereince with unmanaged C++ than Managed C++. However, I have never worked with QT before, so I cannot comment on that.

Visual C++ 6.0 error with Measurement Studio ActiveX controls

Hi,
I'm triyng an evalutation version of Measurement Studio for VC++ 6.0 for my company.
I'm working on a single document application with a menu bar.
I have several dialog linked to the menu bar but, at run time, the application crash with memory leaks error.
This problem appear only if I attach a Measurement Studio controls on the dialog.
If I add a control on the main document this error don't appear.
Could you help me?
Is there some Measurement Studio patch solving my problem?
Thanks a lot

Thanks Lucius for your help but I'm not developing any software code!
.... I think this problem depends on the installation or the software version .... I think and I hope !
I'm very doubtful because I would like to buy the Measurement Studio for my company ..... obviously, before I have to solve this problem .......

使用NI的Measurement Studio 的ActiveX控件出现的问题

       我是在Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 中编写插入Measurement Studio 的ActiveX控件的网页，结果在本机上运行没有问题，ActiveX控件显示及交互正常，但是我将其转移到另一台机器上，结果出现了下面的2个提示窗口：
1      cwui
             Error loading control. A newer version needed. The default settings for the control will be used.
2    Component Works
              This program contains ComponentWorks evaluation-only controls which will stop funtioning after 5 minutues of execution time. To order a development version of ComponentWorks,contact your local National Instruments
     结果是Activex控件交互基本正确，但是显示的是缺省样式（非我设计的样式）。
     请问是什么问题？是版本问题吗？我本机上装的是Measurement Studio 6.0
     还是另一台机器上也要装Measurement Studio 6.0 吗？有没有办法不需要另外安装软件，直接在网页上使用NI 的ActiveX控件的方法？
     请知情者赐教！谢谢！

VB ActiveX User Control fails to install on Windows 8 using IE10 with Code Download Error: (hr = 80070005) Access is denied.

I have a VB VS2008 (.Net 2.0) ‘pure’ .NET based user control which used to be hosted in Internet Explorer.
Because that approach is no longer possible in VS2013 (.Net 4.5) I have converted it to an VB ActiveX user control.
This process involves digitally signing the user control DLL.
Creating a setup project resulting in a setup.exe and MyUserControl.msi.
Digitally signing both those components and then producing a cab file (which again is digitally signed).
IE10 should then be able to install this using an object tag as follows
<object id="editor" height="100%" width="100%"
classid="clsid:EA47DB16-9272-4CB3-A800-C369A479396A" codebase="cab\MyUserControl.cab#Version=6,0,11,1" VIEWASTEXT>
If I use the setup.exe and MyUserControl.msi directly on the client windows 8 machine before starting IE10 then the control is already installed (shows up in Programs and Features) and it works.
If I don't do this and let IE install the control then it doesn't work.
What I see is the IE prompt
This website wants to install the following add-on: 'MyUserControl.cab'
Clicking on install produces the User Account Control MsgBox
Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer
Clicking yes doesn't install the control as expected
The inf file that I'm using is currently
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0
[Add.Code]
setup.exe=setup.exe
MyUserControlSetup.inf=MyUserControlSetup.inf
MyUserControlSetup.msi=MyUserControlSetup.msi
[setup.exe]
file=thiscab
[MyUserControlSetup.inf]
file=thiscab
[MyUserControlSetup.msi]
file=thiscab
[Setup Hooks]
RunSetup=RunSetup
[Deployment]
InstallScope=user
[RunSetup]
run="%EXTRACT_DIR%\setup.exe"
I have defined the registry setting ForceCodeDownloadLog
Examining the temporary internet files location after trying to install using IE10 I can see the following
*** Code Download Log entry (15 Jan 2015 @ 11:49:18) ***
Code Download Error: (hr = 80070005) Access is denied.
ERR: Run Setup Hook: Failed Error Code:(hr) = 80070005, processing: %EXTRACT_DIR%\setup.exe
LOG: Reporting Code Download Completion: (hr:80070005 (FAILED), CLASSID: ea47db16...,

The problem here was the cab file.
Using ProcessMonitor I found that the following entry was generated at the time of failure
16:48:00.9222751 2920 IEInstal.exe CreateFile
C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\IDC2.tmp\setup.exe NAME NOT FOUND Desired Access: Read Attributes, Read
Control, Synchronize, Dis, Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Disallow Exclusive, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: None, AllocationSize: n/a
Analysis of the contents of the cab file using PeaZip indicated that it didn't contain setup.exe which confused me for a while as the makecab /f MyUserControlSetup.ddf produced no errors.
The MyUserControlSetup.ddf contained
.Set DiskDirectoryTemplate=cab
.Set CabinetNameTemplate=DocEditor.cab
MyUserControlSetup.inf
MyUserControlSetup.msi
setup.exe
Using makecab /f MyUserControlSetup.ddf /v3 I saw that the output was being written to 3 'disk' files but only one was present in explorer after it finished.
So I guessed that the output was for floppy disks and changed MyUserControlSetup.ddf to contain
.Set MaxDiskSize=CDROM
.Set DiskDirectoryTemplate=cab
.Set CabinetNameTemplate=DocEditor.cab
MyUserControlSetup.inf
MyUserControlSetup.msi
setup.exe
PeaZip now indicated that the cab file contained the 3 files I expected and using that cab in the codebase attribute installed my ActiveX control

Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control

 Our users are prompted to download: Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control -- when trying to view reports. Since they do not have Admin rights on their PC, they are unable to install this Activex Control. Is there a setup file available someplace that can deployed to the user's pc that would intsall the activex control?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Anupam

Manual installation
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type âu20ACu0153regsvr32âu20AC and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
But I haven't tried it myself yet. I have so much crystal stuff on my PC. I'm going to set up a virtual PC that has never had crystal and see if it works.

Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
Thanks,
Jagannath

Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control? We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options. In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

Printing Extremely Slow Using Crystal Reports 2008 ActiveX Print Control

Problem:
We are trying to upgrade our existing Crystal Reports 10.0 ActiveX Viewer ASP based reports to the new Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer but are having print performance issues that have prohibited us from moving forward.
Environment:
Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition 32-bit with SP1
IIS 6.0 running ASP .NET version 2.0.50727
Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 with FP1
Crystal PrintControl.dll version 12.0.0.796 (verified on server and client)
Details:
Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer Object & ActiveX Print Control Report Printing Scenario
From a typical 27 page report, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASPX Report Viewer Object.
The Print window with the message Crystal Reports Print Control immediately appears on the screen. This window is on the screen for approx 30 seconds.
The Print Setup window finally appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Retrieving page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 2 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 3 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 4 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 5 message appears in the Print window. The message is in the window for less than 1 second.
After 3 MINUTES of waiting the report finally starts printing.
Crystal Reports 10 ASP ActiveX Report Viewer Report Printing Scenario
From the same typical 27 page report that was used in the Crystal Reports 2008 scenario, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASP ActiveX Report Viewer.
The Print window Immediately appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Print window Immediately disappears from the screen and the report Immediately starts printing.
The entire print process takes only 3 u2013 4 SECONDS.
Even though we are trying to get the users to decrease the amount of paper used in report printing. They still do a significant amount of printing. The difference between the print performance using Crystal Reports 10 (3-4 seconds) and Crystal Reports 2008 (3 minutes) is totally unacceptable to our users.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a known fix for it? This is the only thing holding us back from our upgrade and it has become very frustrating to us.
Much thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

Hi Brian,
Please have a look at [this|Crystal 11.5 Activex control for viewer; post.
However, have you tried with the No Printer options available in Print Options window from designer?

Atanu.

ActiveX Print Control

1) I am having issues using the ActiveX print control.
If I login as an Administrator I can get the control to work properly.
On the dame machine I login as a standard user and I cannot use the print control.
Any ideas why this is?
It does sound like a permissions issue but I dont know where to start looking.
This only happens on one client site.
2) I do have another client getting issues with the print control. They print a report using the control. It prints out but they get an error "An error occured on the server. Printing will be stopped."

It's best to send the request via your IT organization - I'm assuming they're the ones who locked down the ActiveX download feature.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

ActiveX Browser Control - PostData?

Hi,
I'm struggling with the activex browser control.
I want to be able to post data through it but I can't seem to
get the PostData variable filled.
E.g. sprite(1).Navigate(URL, "", "", "key=value",
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
The line above should post the key/value pair "key=value" to
the specified URL. But the postdata seem to be null when I execute
this.
Is it a problem with the encoding of the lingo string format?
Does anyone know how I can I this?
Best regards,
John

ActiveX Tree Control

Hello group,
I want to use an ActiveX Tree Control in my application (LabVIEW 6.1). How
can be secured that the built application will run on any 32Bit Windows
system? I. e. which ActiveX Server must be installed, what is the most
common type and where can I get the package from?
Thanks,
Marko

Marko,
Microsoft ActiveX TreeView control is part of the Microsoft Common controls. As long as you have the mscomctl.ocx installed and registerd on the machine, you will have the TreeView control, and will be able to use the LabVIEW built executable that uses this control.

Measurement Studio NumericEdit Control is Not Working

I installed Measurement Studio 2013 with Visual Studio 2012 Professional yesterday and imported my previously developed projects on (VS 2010 Express). Web controls and C# coding working fine.
I started Measurement studio chapter 2 first exercise to add control WaveformGraph, Gauge and Legend on my page and working but when add NemericEdit control then it gives me JavaScript critical error …….. SCRIPT1014 Invalid character. I am using window 7 and IE11 cleared cache already.
Please help.
Best regards
Bashir.

Hi Bashir,
I was able to reproduce this issue in IE11. Please note, Measurement Studio 2013 supports IE6 - IE10, so we have not tested the Measurement Studio 2013 ASP.NET controls with IE11. However, what you are seeing appears to be a result of IE11 dropping support for conditional compilation for javascript (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/121hztk3(v=vs.94).aspx). Because of this, when the Visual Studio debugger is attached to your ASP.NET website, you see an unexpected character exception.
Please note that the documentation for Web Browser Compatibility with Measurement Studio Web Forms Controls says that IE9 and 10 are only fully supported in compatibility mode. I took the liberty of testing IE11 in compatibility mode, and the Visual Studio debugger message stopped appearing.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Baldor activeX servo control

Dear Labview people,
Has anyone used the Baldor activeX motion control libary with labview
6.1 before. I'm having trouble with the doGO syntax and was wondering
if anyone has an example that uses it?
Cheers,
Victor

my goal is to control a servo motor/ i want to supply to the motor a number between 0 to 180 that represent the angle of it's arm. as you can see in the pic attached, i have used a kind of numeric control that sends a DBL number and therefore i used a "Number To Fractional String" with precision 0 to convert it to a string in order to send it with Xbee connected to the PC. in the other pic attached is the number received by the Arduino (that the motor is connected to). it is some kind of representation of each digit sent. all i want is to send lets say 90, and to get 90 in the other end. how can i do it?

Why do I get a MissingManifestResourceException when I try to use an MFC Control Wrapper in a Windows Forms Project with Measurement Studio 7.0?

I can use the .NET Windows Forms Controls without problems, but when I try to add an MFC control, everything appears to work fine until runtime. The program throws the aforementioned exception claiming that the resources haven't been added to the compiled project. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Victor

That is correct that you will need to create an interop wrapper for the 3D graph ActiveX control if you want to use the 3D graph in a Windows Forms project. However, data types like CNiReal64Vector are only in the C++ interfaces and are not in the ActiveX interface, hence you can use normal .NET data types and will not need to create the C++ data types. The interop wrapper will convert the .NET data types to the expected ActiveX data types and will pass those data types on to the ActiveX control. For example, here is a C# example that demonstrates how to plot a dual sine surface on the interop wrapper of the 3D graph:
const int size = 40;
double[] xData = new double[size];
double[] yData = new double[size];
double[,] z
Data = new double[size, size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
xData[i] = yData[i] = ((i - 20.0) / 20.0) * Math.PI;
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j)
zData[j, i] = Math.Sin(xData[i]) * Math.Cos(yData[j]) + 2.0;
graph3D.Plot3DSurface(xData, yData, zData, Type.Missing);

Why am I getting eval controls with licensed version of Measurement Studio?

I attempted to use the datasocket 4.0 and UI 7.0 control in Visual Basic 6. Both controls are labeled "Eval", and after 30 days, I got the "controls will work for 5 minutes" message. I have a licensed version of Measurement Studio and cannot understand why the contols are evaluation. I tried the ActiveX License Fixer Utility and no controls show up in ANY pane of the utility.
I have done the following:
1) Uninstalled Measurement Studio
2) unregistered the controls and nids.dll
3) Reinstalled Measurement Studio
4) Installed Measurement Studio on a new PC with no previuos NI software. The same issue occurs

kwd,
The reason that you are still seeing the evaluation message is that you have not yet installed licensed controls. You have Measurement Studio 7.0, which is for .NET and includes assemblies with UI controls and analysis functions for use with C# and VB.NET. However, since you have the enterprise edition, you should also have a second CD that says "Measurement Studio Enterprise Support for Visual Studio 6.0" and this is the CD that will install the ActiveX controls for use with VB6. Once you run through the install of this CD, you will then have a license copy of the Measurement Studio controls and if you still get the message, then run the license fixer one more time and you will see the appropriate controls. Please repost if you have any questions. Thanks and have a good one.

How can I obtain a scope like presentation using measurement studio and VB?

I would like to use the scope active X control provided in Measurement Studio to provide an oscilloscope presnetation of data acquired using the NI 6110 high speed digitizer boards.
Is this possible?
Some sample code would be helpful. I am used to setting up virtual channels in the Measurement and automation software and then referencing the virtual channel number in the properties of the active x control in VB. I can't figure out how to accomplich this with the scope active x control.
Thanks

Hello Cubby!
I am assuming when you say you want to use the Scope ActiveX control in
VB6 that you are refering too the IVISCOPE activeX control. This
control will allow you to have the O-Scope type interface with little
to no programming. Please notice this will be different
then using MAX because you will need to have an IVI session of your
scope set up.
After Adding this component to your project simply lay it on the
form. Next in the property page associated with the control find
the 'Custom' property. Click on the '...' button inside the
property which will bring up a attribute page. Finally, select
your IVI scope session that was configured in MAX or if your using an
NI scope board enter the resource in the DAQ::x::INSTR format. To
verify that everything is setup correctly click on the 'Configuration'
tab and click the Verify button.
For further help see....
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/CEECFCBF5015AB6F862568A100640EB0?OpenDocument
If you have more questions please feel free to ask. I could not
locate any example code, but you should be able to get it working
by simply configuring the control correctly. Have a great day!
