2. Whats the difference between using OCX and ActiveX control and when to use them
in our application.
3. A small procedure exlpaining how to use them in D2K.

IE 11 Restricting Running Scripts and ActiveX Controls on Local Files

I have been coding for my MediaWiki pages and needed to test these pages with IE 11. However, whenever I open a file in IE 11, an annoying message saying "IE 11 Restricted this website from running scripts and ActiveX controls." How do I do a
one-time fix to stop this from happening in future to local files?

to test your WEBSITE.... publish it to a web server. eg. localhost/test.local
web servers and browsers use http(s), not the file: protocol.

What is the difference between Com Addin and Activex control

When I searched about them individually, both are described as same.
Could any one please explain what are they and what is the difference between them exactly.

Hello,
Here is what Wikipedia states for ActiveX:
ActiveX is a software framework created by Microsoft that
adapts its earlier Component Object Model (COM) and Object
Linking and Embedding (OLE) technologies for content downloaded from a network, particularly in the context of the World
Wide Web.[1] It
was introduced in 1996 and is commonly used in its Windows operating system.
In principle it is not dependent on Microsoft Windows, but in practice, most ActiveX controls require either Microsoft Windows or a Windows emulator. Most also require the client to be running on Intel x86 hardware, because they contain compiled code.[2]
Many Microsoft Windows applications — including many of those from Microsoft itself, such as Internet
Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft
Visual Studio, and Windows Media Player — use ActiveX controls
to build their feature-set and also encapsulate their own functionality as ActiveX controls which can then be embedded into other applications. Internet Explorer also allows the embedding of ActiveX controls in web
pages.
And for COM:
Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface standard
for software components introduced by Microsoft in
1993. It is used to enable inter-process communication and dynamic object creation
in a large range of programming languages. COM is the basis for several other Microsoft technologies and frameworks,
including OLE, OLE
Automation, ActiveX, COM+, DCOM,
the Windows shell, DirectX, UMDF and Windows
Runtime.
Office add-in is an assembly which implement the
IDTExtensibility2 interface (COM).

Microsoft Word Templates and ActiveX Control Problems

Hi,
I am experiencing a strange problem in Microsoft Word. I am writing a VBA application which displays a cwgraph in a form. If I add the graph to a form in the Normal.dot template the control is fine. If I add the graph to a form in a new template (where all my code is) the graph displays evaluation copy. The graph in the Normal.dot template is fine and displays without the licensing information and in the properties it displays the correct licence code etc.
Has anyone experienced this before and got any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Joe

Jon.
Thanks for the reply. I have already run the license fixer utility and it does not locate any broken licenses. I have also uninstalled everything and deleted cwui.ocx in System32, then reinstalled and tried again. The strange thing is that it works in Visual Basic standalone, in the normal.dot template in Word. It just doesn't work in a different template file.
Thanks.
Joe

Report Generation and ActiveX control of MSWord 97

I had posted this problem sometime ago with no response, but I had a chance to look at it again. I wanted to try some examples using MS Word instead of MS Excel. Well I would always get the attached error. It looks like LabVIEW cannot find MS Word. I found out why, I just need to know how to fix it..
I found that the Word._Application (Automation_Refnum) is more then likely using the Microsoft Word 8.0 Object Library Version 8.0 that is installed with Labview. the Problem is I have Word 97 which I believe is version 5.0. Now for Excel both the Microsoft Excel 5.0 Object Library Version 1.0 and Microsoft Excel 8.0 Object Library Version 1.2 appear in the Select Object from Type Library Drop down. It there a Word Object Library missing?
I have LabVIEW running on a WinXP Pro machine with MS Office 97 SR2 installed.. I really wish my company would upgrade to MS Office XP or 2003 but I don't see that happening.
is there anyway to get LV8 to recognize Word 97? I have reinstalled Office and the Toolkit a couple times with no luck. I also had the same problem with LV 7.1.1
Any thoughts or suggestions?
EDIT: Forgot the attachment the first time

Hi Jeff,
The issue you are seeing is usually caused by Office not being installed properly. It would be good if you could do a repair on your Word install, make sure all office applications are closed, and turn off all Anti-virus software and registry protectors (i.e Ad-Aware and Spybot).
Go to add/remove programs and find the office install and choose repair, choose to repair word and letthat run, once that is done restart the computer.
Open LabVIEW and place down an ActiveX reference and then right-click the refnum to select the ActiveX class. Scroll through the list to find the Word entry that you need.
If this does not work, you will need to look at the msdn website www.msdn.com to see if this is a known issue with Word 97, and if MS have a way of registering the server. Or find how to register an ActiveX server and then register your Word install to the COM and DCOM in WIndows , as this is where LabVIEW picks up the Servers it has access to.

Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 ~ How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control

Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux) and Firefox 3.6.3 ~ How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in & ActiveX control
In general Adobe needs to offer Ubuntu (Linux) support. I don't use Windows anymore and will go with whatever company provides me the Plug In's I need to function. In this case at the current time, I can't use Adobe flash Player to view You Tube video's. I followed the link that helps a user fix the problem:
Solve a Problem: The video won't play:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=56115
I then saw that you suggested that I first needed to uninstall any older versions of the Flash Player and then install the latest version of the Flash player. I clicked on the link find out how to uninstall it here:
How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
They didn't offer any help with Ubuntu 10.045 (Linux). Please offer the instructions and automatic (non-terminal) uninstaller. Also, I want an automatic installer for Ubuntu 10 (Linux) & Firefox 3.6 that is easy like like you have for Windows and like Sun's Java has for Linux.

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.

Flash8.ocx ActiveX control help

Where is the documentation for the Flash8.ocx ActiveX
control? I am trying
to use the ActiveX control in Excel with VBA. No browser,
Internet
connection, web page, html, or JavaScript is present. In the
object
browser, I can see methods such as
Function CallFunction(request As String) As String
The only Macromedia site search hits for "CallFunction" are
in user comments
under a manual page for the External API. I have searched the
Flash Support
Center for the words "scripting" and/or "ActiveX". I have
seen "Scripting
with Flash". It is incomplete. I have seen "How can I use
Macromedia's
ActiveX components in my programs? (TechNote tn_12062)". I
have read the
"Support" paragraph therein. We have completed Flash8 Player
Distribution
License. Do we really need to buy a support contract to get
the doc's for
this control?
Thanks.

If the registration worked, then go to the front panel add a ".NET and Active X" -> "ActiveX Container" control to your block diagram. then right-click on it and choose "Insert ActiveX control". A dialog box will appear and in the drop-down, hopefully your OCX control will be listed (with it's full name, not the filename). Sometimes it depends on which specific control it is (which you have not yet mentioned).

How to control and display video from IP camera using ActiveX control over Internet.

Hello,
I need to control my IP cameras over the internet. I need to log into the cameras and then display the video. There's an ActiveX control registered on the computer and works fine with IE to access and control the cameras. Controlling the cameras using IE works fairly well, but there are some quirks that I'd like to eliminate by using my own custom code.
Has anyone created a vi that controls a Foscam FI8905W over the Internet? I’ve attempted, but I keep getting a catastrophic failure when I try to call ManagementConnect Method in the DVM_IPCam2 ActiveX Control Module V1.0. I'm not sure whether I need to establish an IP connection with the cameras first, or allow the ActiveX control to establish it for me.
Some example code would be greatly appreciated. Running LabVIEW 2011 on a Win7 32bit. Even some code used to control a similar device using ActiveX over Internet would be helpful.

I have an example vi for interfacing to the foscam activex.
I plan on using mouse click events within the activex window to trigger the PT function.
I only have the basic up/down/right/left directions and not the down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left in the enum. You can load the camera's web page and view the source to see the Java script code that uses the activex control. There are definitions for the other directions.
I had to mark the control as "Disabled" to keep click events from going to the activex control. If I double click the control, it goes full screen. If I then click on it to get out of full screen mode the video never returns or returns to the wrong spot in the VI.

How to get UUTPassed and UUTFailed count from C# ActiveX control

Hello,
My operator interface uses TestStand ActiveX control in C#. I will use the OP to test a bench of DUTs, which runs the same sequence file. I would like to know the total UUT-Tested, UUTPassed and UUTFailed count after each DUT tested. Is there any embedded parameter does the job for me and how could I get it? If there is not, I have to create internal variables in C# to do the job.
Thanks
Regards,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, there is no build in function for this. So either you will have to implement something like this in on of the following:
a) The user interface
b) The SequenceFile (as long as it is not unloaded in between)
c) The process model
d) Use an external tool for analysis
If you are already working with databases for reporting, i would suggest using d). If not, you can choose. But modifying the process model is not recommended (if other, simple solutions are available), i wouldn't recommend c).
hope this helps,

ActiveX controls and clear_form

If you use ActiveX controls in forms and issue a clear all from
the menu, or a clear_form built-in, it will kill any ActiveX
controls in the Form. Once I set a key_clear trigger to clear my
master data block and used clear_all_master_details to flush all
the data blocks in my form, leaving control block alone, my
ActiveX controls stopped crashing.
I didn't find this mentioned in the documentation, and thought
someone might be able to save themselves some aggravation.

Hi,
to have pure html controls in jspx, I have one idea, for example for tag this is:
 
It works, but I think with activex it's not so simple. I tried :
' <object xmlns="" id="ThermalLib" height="0" width="0" classid="clsid:904511D2-5407-4033-8DAD-07B33EC7317E"> '
But it doesn't work.
Did you solve this problem?
Mayby somebody know how to launch activex from jspx?

Setting up and using an ActiveX control

Trying to use an ActiveX control I added to my CVI project. I use the ActiveX Controller Wizard to create an ActiveX control. Then I tried using one of the ActiveX control functions but it requires I get an Object Handle. The ActiveX Control Help says I can get the Object Handle by using GetObjHandleFromActiveXCtrl or an ActiveX method or property. I looked through all the functions my ActiveX control has and could not find anything that would get an Object Handle. The GetObjHandleFromActiveXCtrl function requires a panel handle which my project does not have or use. Any suggestions on what to do next?
The ActiveX control I am using is Mint Controls Build 5708 from ABB.

Hi
New in ActiveX controls...I cannot help to recreate examples like Media Player (which works perfectly on my PC).
Well I take the first method of"Programming with ActiveX Controls" topic:
From the Tools menu of any LabWindows/CVI window, select Create ActiveX Controller. When you run the wizard in this manner, you need to select the ActiveX server that corresponds to your control.
First I find two "Windows Media Player", which one ? Some trials lead me to the second one, where I retrieve functions names of the example (?).
Next window : I let Instrument Prefix as "MediaPlayer", I browse a target fp file as "wmp" in my project directory, let the default compatibility options.
Next window : I don't change any "Advanced Options", success...
I find a new intrument "Windows Media Player", and 5 files wmp.fp/c/h/sub/obj. OK.
But I want to see the control on a panel : I open my uir, go to "Create/ActiveX", select "create control".
But what about "Validate servers" check box ? Il let it unchecked.
I find "Windows Media Player" (only one) in the list, and the control appears on the panel, but the aspect is different from the example (some property changed?):
If I edit the control, I find a property list that seems different from the example (even if I expand all) :
Well it seems that controls are different ?
I insert some lines in my code ("hello.mp3" is in the project directory):
GetObjHandleFromActiveXCtrl (PanelHandle, PANEL_WINDOWSMEDIAPLAYER,&mediaHandle);
MediaPlayer_IMediaPlayer2SetFileName (mediaHandle, NULL, "Hello.mp3");
MediaPlayer_IMediaPlayer2Play (mediaHandle, NULL);
Build OK. But nothing played. Error code from "SetFileName" function = -2147467262, error text : "Cette interface n'est pas prise en charge" something like "this interface is not supported" :
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance !

RE: ActiveX control and Active Server Pages?

Martin, if it works in standalone VB program but not in an .asp page
through VBScript, I guess the reason may be the type mismatch on the
parameters of the ActiveX automation methods. VBScript is a subset of VB
and only supports the OLE data type VARIANT for calling the OLE
interface. The Conductor ActiveX control probably requires the actual
data types, such as long, BSTR, and so on, to be used on the parameters.
As a result, VBScript cannot call the methods on the control. One
workaround you can try is to create your own ActiveX control which is
simply a wrapper for calling the Conductor control. Its parameter types
use VARIANT and you do the data conversion in your wrapper code. Hope
this helps.

Hello Forte users,
Did anyone try to use the ActiveX control that ships with Conductor
1.0G in an Active Server Page?
I tried to use the ActiveX control without luck, so a sample would be
appreciated. The code
works fine in Visual Basic.
Below the code:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
Set thisDirectory =
Server.CreateObject("CONDUCTORCLIENT.WFDirectoryServiceCtl.1")
Set thisEngine = thisDirectory.WFFindEngine("ceengine", "centrale")
Set thisUser =
Server.CreateObject("CONDUCTORCLIENT.WFUserProfileDescCtrl.1")
thisUser.New
thisUser.ProfileName = "MiniUP"
thisUser.userName = "martin"
' The following call fails: Invalid procedure call or argument:
'thisEngine.OpenSession'
Set thisSession = thisEngine.OpenSession("CREATE", thisUser, "martin",
0)
Set thisProcess = thisSession.CreateProcess("MiniPD", Empty)
thisSession.CloseSession (WFSESSION_TERMINATED)
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I don't have 6.1 in front of me now. I came up with a workaround for my application when I encounted this problem. I created an attribute node for the container and the tab control. Whenever the tab control was not on the page with the control, I made the container invisible. This then hid the activeX control.
