Strange axbridge issue with Visual Basic

I started having a very strange problem with my axbridge wrapped bean around the time I switched to JDK 1.5. Problem is, I can't seem to get rid of it by rolling back to earlier versions.
Here's what happens: I create a very simple non-visual bean:
package pack;
public class Bean1 {
public Bean1()
System.out.println("Constructor");
public boolean someMethod ()
System.out.println("1");
return false;
I then create Bean1.dll using the packager.exe provided with the JDK, and register it as part of the packaging process.
Then, I go into Visual Basic 6 and enter this code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim xx As Object
xx = CreateObject("Bean1.Bean.1")
End Sub
On the CreateObject call, Visual Basic gives me the error "Object variable or With block variable not set", which isn't helpful.
In the Java console with level 5 tracing turned on, I see this:

The only thing I've found in the bug database that seems even remotely related to this is bug 6391104, which is related to plugins somehow.
I do not understand why applets are involved in this at all.
When I try to instantiate the COM object from a C++ program, everything works fine. My problem only seems to occur with Visual Basic (version 6, not .NET).
This problem seems so fundamental that it seems impossible that no one else has run into it, but there 's nothing about it on any forum or buglist that I've seen. So, I figured there must be something very obscure wrong with my setup. However, I tried installing this on a brand new machine using my trivial case, and I still have the problem. I'm really at my wits' end. Anyone have any ideas?

You definately want to go to CR 2008. I'd recommed that you call 866-681-3435 and ask about the possibility of getting a 30 day eval.

  • Can you tell me how to measure audio signal frequency in measurement studio with visual basic 6.0?

    I'd like to measure two differential input signal(I.e. A+ and A-),below is two test projects,
    1.connect A+/A- to PCI 6052E card's ACH0/ACH8 ,and refer to GND for testing
    2.connect respectively A+/A- to PCI 6052E card's ACH0/ACH8 for testing
    Could you tell me the details of the second project?and give me a illustration in measurement studio with visual basic 6. 0 about the second?
    In addition,I would like to measure the audio signal frequency,could you give me a illustration in measurement studio with visual basic 6.0?
    Wait for your reply!

    Dear kelven,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    To address your question, there are Analog Input shipping examples that demonstrate how to measure an analog input differentially, as you specify in (2).
    As for measuring the audio signal frequency, you may want to check out the following KnowledgeBase. The link is:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4b08380530d72d3b86256340004c3005
    Let me know if you have any further questions or if this does not resolve your issue.
    Thanks again and have a great day!

    Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
    I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
    please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
    my idea is as following:
    when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
    so…..
    now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
    now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
    now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
    when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
    NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
    so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
    the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
    NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
    SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
    BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
    short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
    but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
    Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
    Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
    All the best,
    Niki Lapan

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

    Hello!
    I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
    You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
    After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
    This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
    Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
    Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
    Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
    We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
    Very Strange!

  • Need help with Visual BASIC

    I am in an intro to programming course, and I am writing a console on Visual Basic 2013.  My problem with Visual Basic right now is that I cannot get the formula to work.  All of my inputted values end up being 0's.  Am I using incorrect parameters,
    am I misunderstanding how to use arguments; am I not coding correctly?  The scenario for my problem is:
          Areas of Rectangles: The area of a rectangle is the rectangle’s length times its width.  Design a program that asks for the length and width of two rectangles. The program should tell the user which rectangle has the
    greater area, or if the areas are the same.

    Hi,
      If you are just beginning to program i highly recommend setting the following options in the Visual Studio menu (Tools/Options). Open the Options window and go to the (Projects and Solutions) and click on (VB Defaults). Now set the options as follows.
    Option Strict - On
    Option Explicit - On
    Option Infer - Off
     And probably one of the most important things to do is learning to Debug your code. That will save you hours of headaches when you get unexpected results in your applications. You will know how to track it down and find where in the code your results
    are being thrown off. There are quite a few Debugging tutorials on the internet. Here are a few decent ones.
    Debugging Express
    Breakpoints and Debugging Tools
    If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it

  • Programming on a MAC with Visual Basic which is unfortuantely from Windows

    Good evening. I am going to be taking some courses in Visual Basic.
    I presently use a new IMAC computer and no intention of ever going back to PC.
    However in course I need to download and learn Visual Basic which is only windows/microsoft based
    Does anyone know of a program that is similar to the windows VB that I can use?
    Otherwise how would I make the Windows VB work on my MAC, i really do not want to download Windows XP or anyone to work on my MAC, hence reason for switching to leopard and mac.
    all suggestions and help is welcome, look forward to your responses.
    email me as well please and thank you

    Being an outsider to most things programming and almost all things M$
    the brief information I found while reading around Visual Basic, is that it
    no longer has Microsoft support since 2008. While that may not be a big
    issue for those still needing such a beast, there probably is a newer kind
    of technology one could be investing time more wisely into the use thereof.
    Earlier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic
    Later: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VisualBasic.NET
    Free Express Edition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftVisual_StudioExpress
    +{Since you have a computer which can support a virtual machine (os) and+
    +not need run Windows directly, some software can run without an XP, etc.+
    +And there is an open-source virtual machine available, for Intel-based Mac.+
    +This in addition to better known retail products, details found in a search.}+
    Since the Express Edition above indicates certain tools it provides, one can see
    what kinds of Mac OS X software tools are available to perform similar tasks;
    then check into how compatible those are with the resulting product you seek to
    be engaged in; and if the recipient of said project could use an all-Mac result. In
    their PC; if this is the direction you are considering.
    You can create content in Terminal, in a Mac, or in XCode, and there are a few
    free-ware open source cross-platform programming tools that could be used to
    create a more platform neutral product; from what I've briefly read. However,
    since Microsoft is playing to their own field, you may find if you have to be there
    you will have to get a Virtual Machine to run Windows in the Mac or hope to get
    a virtual machine that also can run just the Windows app without Windows in it.
    Or, have an old cheap PC off to the side, and put your Windows software into it.
    Then keep your modern-era stuff alive in your Mac. If you have Windows-only
    clients, some of them may well be using their XP into the next century...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Strange performance issue with 3510/3511 SAM-FS disk cache

    Hi there!
    I'm running a small SAM-QFS environment and have some strange performance issue on the disk storage part, which somebody here might be able to explain.
    Configuration: one 3510, dual controller, RAID-5 9+1, one hot spare and one disk not configured for whatever reason. The R5 logical drive hosts a 150GB LUN for SAM-QFS metadata (mm in SAM-FS speak) and a 1TB LUN for data (mr in SAM-FS speak). Further, there are two small LUNs (2GB, 100GB) for some other purpose. Those two LUNs have nearly no I/O. All disks are SUN146G. Host connection is 2GBit, multipathing enabled and working.
    Then the disk cache became too small, and the customer added a 3511 expansion unit with SUN300G disks. One logical drive is a RAID-1, 1+1, used for NetBackup catalog. The other is a RAID-5, 8+1, providing two LUNs: 260GB SAM-FS metadata (mm) and 1.999TB SAM-FS data (mr).
    For SAM-FS, the LUNs form two file systems: one "residing" in the 3510, the other "residing" in the 3511 expansion. Cabling is according to the manual and checked several times by several independant people. Operating system is Solaris 10, hardware is a V880.
    The problem we observe: SAM-FS I/O on LUNs on disks inside the 3510 is fine. With iostat, I see 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write at the same time. On the SAM-FS file system which is running on the two LUNs in the 3511, the limit seems to be at 40MB/s read/write. Both SAM-FS file systems are configured the same in regards of block size.
    In case I have activity on both SAM-FS file systems, I see 100MB/s+ on the LUN running inside the controller shelf and another 40MB/s on the disk runnin in the 3511 expansion chassis. So, the controller is easily capable of handling 150MB/s.
    Cache settings in the 3510 controller are default I think (wasn't installed by me), batteries are fine.
    Is this 40MB/s we experience a limitation by the expansion shelf? Don't think so. Anybody has any ideas on this? What parameters to check or to change? Any hint appreciated. I can also provide further details if needed. Thank you.
    wolfgang

    SUN300G disks sound like 300GB FC disks.
    Depending on how many files are in the SAMFS file system, sharing the mm and mr devices on the same RAID array can be a pretty horrible idea. In my opinion and experience, it's almost always better to NEVER put more than one LUN on a RAID array. Period. Putting more than one LUN on an array results in IO contention on that array. And large, unnaturally configured (9+1? Why?) RAID arrays will have problems from the start.
    What are the block sizes used on the RAID arrays? It wouldn't surprise me to see that the RAID array on the expansion tray has a very large block size. Larger block sizes are, in general, not better. Especially for SAMFS metadata - which IIRC is something like 8k or 16k blocks.
    I suspect what is happening is most of the metadata updates are going to the mm device on the new array, contending with the IO operations on the file data.
    How much space is left on each mm device? What does "iostat -sndxz 2" show when you're having the IO problems?

  • Problems with visual basic and acrobat X

    Hello,
    In visual basic (excel), I had written a program in visual basic (excel) to open a pdf file on the local server.

    With the 8 I didn't had any problems to open the pdf-file.
    Now with the X version, it only opens the start window of acrobat x pro.
    Did they changed something in Xversion?
    Does anyone has an idea to solve this problem?

  • Examples of using SCXI-1160 Relay Card with Visual Basic 5.0.

    I am starting to develop some VB 5.0 code that interfaces with a PXI/SCXI Chassis. One of the cards that I have to work with is the SCXI-1160.

    At this point in time (5/14/01), I do not believe there are any pre-existing example programs developed in Visual Basic to control an SCXI-1160 switch module.
    However, the process is very easy to explain. You will need to add the NI-SWITCH instrument driver as a DLL reference to your VB program. The DLL file is called niswitch_32.dll and is located at C:\VXIpnp\WinXX\Bin (WinXX = Win95 or WINNT).
    Your program will begin with the niSwitch_init(...) function, and end with the niSwitch_close(...) function. The niSwitch_Connect(...) function can be used to actually make switch connections in your application.

  • Strange sound issue with my Satelite U300

    I've got a strange sound problem with my laptop.
    I have XP pro + SP3 (downgraded from Vista to XP)
    Couple week ago, a reinstall XP, because I thought it could solve my problem. But...nothing.
    This is a problem: When I turning my laptop on, it gives me a message, "warning, cannot access volume control". When I check device manager, the only yellow question mark is bout PCI memory controller and there is no more unrecognized devices founded.
    In Sound, video and game controller - Realtek High definition Audio is just missing.
    Usually , then everything is ok, in "Device manager - Sound, video and game controller " I have - Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio drivers, Legacy Video CApture Devices, Media Control Devices,
    Video codecs, Realtek High definition Audio. But then sound is missing, the "Realtek High definition Audio" is also missing.
    Computers restart doesn't help. Even, when I uninstall Realtek sound drivers from "Add and remove.." and install it freshly, it also doesn't help. I tried to update drivers - nothing..
    But, there is one strange thing: When a turning my laptop on couples hours later, or even next day (for exmpl) everything is ok. Sound works. And I can understand why....
    All drivers downloaded from Toshiba. BIOS is being updated.
    Maybe somebody know how to solve this problem? Any solutions?

    Hello
    This issue has been brought up on this forum several times under other topic headings. Look under Audio Driver Missing, for instance. I have had this exact problem since purchasing my Toshiba notebook more than a year ago. Toshiba tech support is useless - and you're right that BIOS updates or changes make no difference, at least so far. The other ideas or replies given so far on this forum also don't solve the problem. Unfortunately for now I think you have to live with it, until someone spends the time to figure out what is really going on. I am curious if it is a Toshiba problem, a Realtek problem, or a Vista / compatibility issue.
    I have two suggestions, which aren't fixes, but can help get your sound back when it disappears:
    1. Restart several times, not just once. Sometimes it works.
    2. Try the System Restore function. This used to work for me, until I updated the BIOS and now it no longer helps with this issue!
    Make sure you post a solution if you figure it out!

  • Strange Networking Issue with OES

    Since moving our entire infrastructure from Netware to OES, I've been trying to figure out a very strange issue. We are a K-12 school system with a data center at the central offices and a single server at each school. The data center has the servers that run all the centralized stuff, including the Master replicas for [root], the DA's for SLP, etc. We noticed that sometimes a school's server will drop out of the SLP tables. When that happens, we also cannot SSH to the school's server from the central servers. We can SSH to it from any other machine on the same subnet as the central servers. The central servers can ping it, but no UDP/TCP traffic can pass between them (no web traffic, etc). We finally realized it only happens when the ISP that serves that school has a brief blip or outage of some sort. The only way we have found to get the servers talking again is to reboot the central servers.
    We have tried:
    Restarting almost all services on central servers
    Stopping and restarting networking
    Switching to runlevel 1 and then back
    Stopping firewall and/or shutting it off completely
    Checking hosts.deny files
    Disabling virus scanner (McAfee Enterprise)
    Changing vmware network drivers from E1000 (known issue with vSphere 5.1) to VMXNET3
    All servers run on HP Proliant servers (blades at central office, towers at schools) running vSphere 5.1. Links between the central office and schools are all 100Mbps fiber via two different ISP (depending on the school's location). A restart of the central office server fixes it every time. I am out of ideas now and at a loss as to why this happens when a WAN link goes down. We thought it was just isolated to one ISP, but it was just that that particular ISP is not quite as reliable as the other. We had an extended power outage at a school served by another ISP over the weekend and saw the same issue with that server after power was restored.
    Any ideas or suggestions at where else we should be looking? We also run ZCM 11 at each school and the central office. When this happens, those servers never lose connectivity with each other and with the OES servers on each end. The ZCM servers run on the same vSphere host as the OES servers.

    To be clear, while i think this correlation is possible, I do not see any
    possibility of causality in here unless your SSH client is somehow using
    SLP to resolve the SSH server, which seems very unlikely. I'm not sure if
    you're trying to state that SLP is the cause of the SSH stuff, but I do
    not think you are.

    Hmmm........... so routing works, and the server is even responding to
    requests made to it (presumably, or something else is), but SSH is not
    responding, or something is preventing it from responding.

    I'd get a LAN trace from both sides at the same time. At the very least,
    run tcpdump as shown below on both the central office machine as well as
    the remote machine to see how the packets differ when trying different
    things. If you do a test and do not see output on both sides, do it again
    writing it to a file and post somewhere for us to review. Note: since
    it's an SSH problem I would either NOT SSH into the system, or I'd be sure
    to limit the tcpdump capture/output to something specific to the
    connection being tested. Tracing something over which you are sending the
    tracing data is never fun since every packet picked up causes another
    packet to be generated, to be picked up, to be generated.... ad infinitum.
    To see tcpdump output with limited details on the screen:
    Code:
    sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -vv
    To write tcpdump output to a file:
    Code:
    sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -w /tmp/problem-20140408.cap
    While filtering when capturing is typically not desired, you can do it by
    adding something like 'host 10.1.2.3' to the list of tcpdump parameters at
    the end of either of those two commands. The reason filtering during
    capturing is not desired is that you may miss something.... the SLP
    traffic, DNS, ARP, ICMP error showing the exact problem, etc.
    Good luck.

  • Very Strange Network Issue With Two Guests on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster

    Hi all.  We're having a odd issue with two guests on our 2012 R2 failover cluster.  
    In a nutshell, if we shutdown a particular server (I'll call it Server A) another totally different server (Server B) on the same node loses it's network connectivity to the domain. If we start server A back up, network connectivity returns on server B.
    At first I thought server A might be running a service that was somehow linked to server B, so I decided to disable server A's NIC.  Interestingly, that had no affect on server B's connectivity.  
    The next step I tried was pausing server A and again, no adverse affect on server B's connectivity.  
    Next step was to live migrate server A to another node.  This action did
    cause server B to lose its network connection. 
    One other clue is that if I ping server B from either of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster, I never lose network connection to server B.
    So I would suspect this is some network issue on the cluster, but I'm kind of at a loss where to go from here.  
    Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try?
    Thanks! 
    George Moore

    Hi Sir,
    I'v never seen this before .
    >>Next step was to live migrate server A to another node.  This action did
    cause server B to lose its network connection. 
    They are connecting to same virtual switch ?
    First please run cluster validation to check if there is any error .
    If it is ok , please try the following items for troubleshooting :
    1. shutdown  serverA   serverB
    2. then add another virtual NIC for serverB
    3. start server B  check if the issue happens to both "old" and "new" virtual NIC .
    In addition , you can live migrate both A and B to another node , then try to live migrate A to the original node .
    If the issue persists , I would suggest you to remove that virtual switch on both nodes then re-create them .
    Best Regards,
    Elton Ji

  • PCI-GPIB Card with Visual Basic gives blue screen and re-boots PC

    The application makes the "ibsic" call then "ibln" to find devices on the bus. Running the VB program the first time is fine, but if you end the program and re-run a second time, you get a blue screen and the PC reboots when the program reaches the lines that make the first call to the NI-488 functions. If you close out of VB and then restart VB, everything is OK again.
    What is wrong?

    Hi,
    Here's an article that describes the most common blue screen when using VB:
