Stage3D disabled in ActiveX Control?

Could someone shed some light on why Stage3D (and StageVideo) are disabled for non-IE ActiveX controls?
May be I am missing something obvious because both seem to have such valid uses in local applications; I had assumed Adobe was targeting Flash towards this area.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Squall,
Thanks for posting!
It's the only browser that supports ActiveX but other applications in Windows can support ActiveX controls. For example embedding Flash Player in a Windows application using a C++ ActiveX control.
Flash used to have a few articles on it (a few years back) but they seem to have disappeared.
I can supply an example configuration if anyone's interested?

Right click disabled on ActiveX Control

Hi all.
Is it possible to disable the right click shortcut menu in an ActiveX control? I know that I can do in a LabView control (right click on it --> Advanced--> Run-Time ShortCut Menu --> Disable), but I don't know for ActiveX controls, because they are different applications embedded on them and have their own events and shortcut menus...
Thanks,
Francisco.

Hi, smercurio_fc.
Thanks for your reply. But sorry I can't understand you completely. For example, I drop an instance of an Adobe PDF Viewer into an ActiveX Container, and this control has its own Run-Time menu you can access by pressing right button on it (this menu isn't that every LabView control has, but an embedded one). Is it possible to disable it through LabView? I mean, I want to right click this control and don't want this menu to appear...
Regards,
Francisco

Need to disable script or ActiveX control in WebHelp project

Two of our WebHelp projects display the following two
messages prior to loading the first page:
1) "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has
restricted this file form showing active content that could access
your computer. Click here for options."
2) "It seems javascript is disabled in your browser, please
enable it abd reload again, or click here to view without
javascript."
I don't know my way around well enough in RoboHelp to solve
these problems. I've read that you can disable the ActiveX issue
through options in the Windows Control Panel, but that is not a
valid resolution for these customers, as that will pose security
vulnerabilities. Not sure either about how to enable javascript, as
indicated in the second message.
Obviously there is something in these WebHelp projects that
cause these messages to display. I want to address the issues at
the project level - not the OS level. Is there a way to search a
WebHelp project foe embedded ActiveX controls and java scripts that
may cause these messages, and then figure out a way to change this
behavior?
I am using RoboHelp HTML, version 5.0.2, build 801, and
generating the primary layout as WebHelp. I've played with the
Preferrred Format options when I generate the project, but nothing
has solved the problem yet.
Any suggestions? Help! This novice is stumped.

Disable mouse events in ActiveX control

Hi,
I am using the Quicktime COM/ActiveX control for Windows from C# but want to change its default behaviour slightly.
Currently when the mouse is pressed on the player control it pauses, resumes when double clicked or if already playing reverts to fullscreen mode.
How can I disable this behaviour so that mouse clicks on the control do nothing?
I can respond to mouse down events and intercept the message in WndProc but the control still seems to recieve the message before my application code.
I get the feeling that I just need to change a property of the player, but which one?
Thanks in advance for your help.
James

Mate, you are a total life saver!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much again.

Disable Right Click Pop-Up Menu on adobe reader activex control

Hi,
I am using adobe reader activex control on my vb.net window based application.May i know how can i disable right click pop-up menu on adobe reader activex control?I don't want search function from right click pop up menu.
Please help me.
Thanks and best regards,
Ko Ko

Hi,
I would disable the right click.....
perhaps you can call a javascript function to display a table of options on your jsp with a layer:
function myOptions( )
var fullText =      "<table width='278'>" +
     "<tr bgcolor='#FF9900'>" +
     "<td colspan='3'> <b><font color='#000000' face='MS Sans Serif' size='3'>Option1</font></b></td>" +
     "</tr>" +
"<tr>" +
"<tr bgcolor='#FF9900'>" +
     "<td colspan='3'> <b><font color='#000000' face='MS Sans Serif' size='3'>Option2</font></b></td>" +
     "</tr>" +
"<tr>" +
     " <td height='35'></td>" +
     " <td colspan='2' height='35'>" +
     "     <div align='left'>" +
" <br>" +
"     <p><font color='#FF0000'>Select option's from above.</font></p>" +
"</div>" +
     "</td>" +
          "</tr>" +
"</table>";
editLayer( fullText, lyr );
showLayer( lyr );
editLayer and showLayer will display table on JSP....remeber to call the layer "1yr"
// Show the visible layer that is passed into the function
function showLayer( _obj ){
if ( ns() ){
     _obj.visibility = "show";
} else {
     _obj.style.visibility = "visible";
// Write the layer with the text in the parameters
function editLayer( txt, obj ){
var doc;
if ( ns() ) {
     doc = self.document._obj.document;
     doc.write( _txt );
     doc.close();
} else {
     doc = _obj;
     doc.innerHTML = _txt;
     doc.document.close();

Overlay an item over an activex control and/ or disabling the mouse scroll wheel

There seems to be several references in the discussion forum to placing a picture control over an activex item to prevent the activex item being selected etc.
The thing is, I can't seem to do it: the activex control is always on top, no matter what I do and no matter what control, or decoration I use.
What am I doing wrong?
Failing that, is there another way of stopping the user getting access to the activx control?
Essentially what I want to do is stop them accidentally scrolling through the control's pages with the mouse scroll wheel. I've stopped them accessing the scroll bars, BUT it is still possible to use the scroll wheel unfortunately.
Something else I tried was a tab control: placing the activex control on a page and then trying to make the page on top transparent. Needless to say that didn't work....
Andy

Important questions:
What ActiveX control are you using?
I'm using the PDF activex control to display a PDF on the front panel of my VI.
What version of LabVIEW are you using?
I'm using LabVIEW 7.1
What "control pages" are you talking about?
The pages of the PDF: it has several pages. If a mouse is held over it the user can scroll using the scroll wheel, or if they right click they can access the Adobe menu.
It's these that I'd like to inhibit them doing.
Thanks
Andy

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.

One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either

Hi.
I don't know if this is the right forum for my problem.
Anyway,
I have a problem with my Windows Services.
Each time when I launch Windows Services window, I get a warning:
One or more activex controls could not be displayed because either:
1. your current security settings prohibit running activex
controls on this page, or
2. you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
as a result, the page may not display correctly.
The warning pop-up opens only when I click on Extended tab.
The problem has nothing to do with IE security, because I can open pages with ActiveX controls on them and so.
I have installed Spybot spyware/malware removal tool. Then uninstalled it.
I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem. But I presume it is.
So, may be someone was facing the same problem and knows the cause for it.
Thanks.

Unlike the rubbish that was stated before this post, this one works. This is the solution and Jishnu is brilliant. Thanks a million, friend.
Try to follow the KB article (KB907343).
1.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2.
Expand the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
3.
In the right pane, right-click 1200, and then click Modify.
4.
In the Value data box, type either 1 or 0 to overwrite the existing value of 3. Then, click OK.
Note If you type 1 in the Value data box, you will receive the following prompt when you start Microsoft Project:
Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?Additionally, you will receive this prompt at other times when you use Microsoft
Project. If you do not want to receive this prompt, type 0 in the Value data box.
The values 0, 1, and 3 are associated with the following behavior:
0 = Enabled, or the action is permitted
1 = Prompt
3 = Disabled, or the action is not permitted
5.
Quit Registry Editor.
IF this does not works try to check the Internet Options..
Try to reset the Internet Explorer.
1. Click on
Start & run.
2. Type inetcpl.cpl & click
ok
3. Click on Advance Tab & click on
Reset (Make sure to put the check mark on the delete the personal setting for IE8) then again
reset.
4. Click
close.
This should work.

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 stop the pop up "An ActiveX control on this page ...?

I recently installed an accounting program on my computer. In order to access several pages on this program, a message appears on the screen and I must address it before I can get access to my required page on the accounting program. The message is as follows: "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?" How can this be eliminated altogether?

Firefox doesn't natively run ActiveX controls at all. This capability might be injected into Firefox by a plugin or one of the "IE Tab" add-ons. Can you test the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule out plugins that might be relevant, you can disable them here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Does the message go away?

Office 2013 ActiveX Controls no Popup

Hello,
I am testing the active x control settings, but I don´t get a popup message for active x. I have enabled the option to promt me before active x code is executed, but its working without any popup. If I disable active x control the occurs the excepted behave
that no active x code is executed. For testing I have created only a simple active x control with some vba code for a msgbox.
So my question is, under which
circumstances the popup message for active x appears?
Thanks.

If the Trust Center detects a potentially unsafe ActiveX control , the control is disabled, and the Message Bar appears to notify you of a potentially unsafe ActiveX control. Depends on how the ActiveX control is marked and whether a VBA project exists in
the file together with the ActiveX control.

Flash player 10.1 Help ( ActiveX control and Download manager)

I've been trying for several hours to download the new flash player 10.1. I tried everything in the FAQ and still nothing. I tried un-installing the older version that I had (9.3.3),   and still nothing.Then when the download manager gets to the end of the download, it keeps saying Error: Installation failed but Adobe Air was still able to download so the problem is obviously flash 10.1. Then it tries to finish installing it and when its done it says that it couldn't register ActiveX control and that error 19166 occured. I already enabled ActiveX so I dont know what the problem could be.
Help would be appreciated and could someone explain what error 19166 is and how to register or install activex
ps. I had this problem a while back but somehow I was able to download flash version 9.3.3, so even if I can't download 10.1, can someone give me a link to download version 9 instead.

Error 46: Can't find or load QuickTime ActiveX control

Have tried many times to download and use QuickTime on my HP Pavillion laptop running Windows 7. Disabled antivirus, firewall, SpySweeper, etc. but to no avail. Uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. Keep getting the same error when attempting to run program. Anyone know what a fix might be? iTunes has also been uninstalled and reinstalled but no help. iTunes seems to work O.K. but many video clips won't work without QuickTime. I would sure appreciate any guidance.
Bryan

bgcarl, it's a very interesting post and sorry I couldn't be of more help, but thought I might add this.
http://www.microsoft.com/security/resources/activex-whatis.aspx
Where ActiveX is a add-on. Is this error happening while using the browser with QuickTime? For example in IE 8 browser if you go to Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom level. There are a number of preferences for ActiveX. For some reason the computer cannot find or load the ActiveX control, but what is hindering it??? It's probably something simple we can't find...
