Text Message sent from LabVIEW using ActiveX and Internet Explorer

I am fairly new to LabVIEW and I am trying to make a VI that will be able to text me and let me know when a test is about to be done or if something has caused it to shutdown. My VI uses www.onlinetextmessage.com but I can't get it to click the Send Message button.
I can get it to insert text in the text fields. I just can get it to click send.
Can you help me?

Well it sure seemed like that should have worked but no luck. When I try to add the FormElement with submit in my VI after I wire in the reference wire it automaticaly changes to a regular Element. Then it wont run because submit is not an option for Element, I have to change the submit back to click.
I dont understand, it really seems like the click should work, and it seems like the submit should have also worked. Getting text into the different fields was easy enough.
Did you try my modified version? That uses IHTMLFormElement properly. If you then change the element name from "Send Message" to "txtmsg" (the name of the form), it appears to work - or at least, it pops up an advertising window in Internet Explorer (I didn't fill in any of the fields as I don't want to give out my phone number or email address to some random website, especially one that pops up advertising).
When you try to change to FormElement, what steps are you taking? Are you changing the type of the "type" input to Variant to Data? You'll need to right-click on that constant, Select ActiveX Class... and choose IHTMLFormElement.
As a LabVIEW style note, you should close all the ActiveX references you open. That means all the references (IHTMLFormElement, IHTMLElementCollection, etc) need a Close Reference when you're done with them.
Again, I think sending an email is a better way to send a text message from within LabVIEW, and for that matter, you might be able to find a better website for doing it. TMobile allows their subscribers to send SMS messages through their website and it appears that AT&T provides a similar service; Verizon provides a web page to send SMS to their users.
EDIT: by the way, the submit button is not a named element (it has a "Value" property but not a "Name" property) so you can't get a reference to it by name. If you probe the item output of the IHTMLElementCollection property node, you'll see it returns an empty variant, which is why "click" has no effect.

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. With the upgrade to ios6 all text messages sent from my phone show up on hers to include responses from my text. text that she sends from her phone appear as if from mine. How do we stop it?

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. Ever since the upgrade to ios6, text messages sent from my iPhone also appear on hers? All response to those text also show up on both devices. Likewise, text sent by her appear to others as having been sent from my iPhone. I have tried turning group messages off but nothing works. How can I correct this on both phones? Appreciate any help.

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

HTC Sensation not able to open text messages sent from iPhone4 iOS6

Up until I installed iOS 6, my friend had no trouble receiving and opening a standard (green) text message sent from my iPhone4. After the new install, his phone receives the message but as a text file that won't open. He hasn't changed anything on his end nor have I changed anything else, so I'm assuming this must be the culprit. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thank you for any suggestions.

Have you figured this out yet?

How to create a table in MS Access from Labview using ActiveX?

I want to transfer datas from Labview to Access using activeX method. My only problem is to find out how to create a new table (array) in Access from the Labview program.
Remarks: I use Labview 6i and MS Access 2000.
For the moment I can write and read datas of Access from Labview.
If someone could help me... that would be grate!

This is off the Microsoft MSDN site "creating an external table". I think you can drop the last step.:
Open the database you want to create the table in. If it is the current database, use the CurrentDb function to return an object variable that represents the current database. If it isn�t the current database, use the OpenDatabase method to open the database you want.
Use the CurrentDb function to create a Database object that points to the current database.
Use the CreateTableDef method of the Database object to create a table definition for the Microsoft Access table.
Use the CreateField method of the TableDef object to create one or more fields in the Microsoft Access table.
Use the Append method of the Fields collection to add the new field or fields t
o the Microsoft Access table.
Use the Append method of the TableDefs collection to create the Microsoft Access table.
Use the TransferDatabase method to create the external table in the specified folder.
Use the Delete method of the TableDefs collection to delete the Microsoft Access table definition.

How can text messaging stop from 2 different Iphones and change from the blue to the green and not go thru?

while in the middle of texting with a friend the bubble turned from blue to green and wouldnt go thru since I dont have regular texting on my phone...all my other Iphone friends and family still are working. Just this one person has been locked out. Who or what do I do?HELP!

There have been iMessage problems for about 2 days that are not impacting everyone. I'm pretty sure it's not your phone, but the service issue that is impacting you.
Try again soon and it should start working again. There are lots of complaints about it again today.

Text messages sent from or to my iPhone do not appear on the Verizon Messanger web app.

iPhone text messages do not appear in the Verizon Messenger web ap. Any Ideas why this happens? All other text messages I can still receive!!!

If you are referring to iMessages, they won't show up in the Verizon Messages app since they don't go through Verizon's servers, they go through Apple's.

Is it true text messages sent from my IPad can not be sent only to individuals who apple have iPhone or iPad technology?

I can not text individuals who do not have iPhones or IPads from my iPad.

You can also send to iPod Touches or Macs.
If one does have an iPhone it can be used in conjunction with an iPad, iPod Touch or Mac to send SMS/MMS messages to non-Apple devices.

Audio is not decoding properly on text messages sent from Motorola Android. Video plays fine but audio is unintelligible chirping.

I have iphone4. Some inbound text messsages with imbedded video clips do not play the audio properly. Audio chirps as if bad decode. Is there firmware/software updates or other apps to help with this issue?

Harm, I didn't pay attention to those settings, I should have. I got hung up in the preset names and figured those were my only choices. How green I am, lol. I made a preset with a Target of 4 (max 6) and VBR 1 Pass, and I knocked the audio down to 128K being it's just speech, and it all worked great. The new file plays in both players perfectly and also plays on my iPad with no jitter. Filesize is about 240mb but that's fine, it works. Problem solved and in the books. BTW, I use a GTX570.
Jim, I agree, VLC is super, it was the only player that would play 5D Mark II files right out of camera back in 2008, on my dual core Dell laptop with a cheesy Nvidia 7900 graphics card. Problem is, the majority of people I'm sending these MP4s to are Mums & Dads in our church, etc, and you know quite well that those folks are running some consumer Dell or HP setup they bought at Costco on closeout.
Funny backstory, when the 5D2 came out in Sept 2008, that was what thrust me into video. So I immediately bought the Prod Premium CS4 Suite (already owned Photoshop for a few years being a stills guy) and installed it on that Dell 17" laptop I mentioned above. After getting the 5D2 finally in Jan 2009, I actually had the nerve to take my first attempt at creating a video in Premiere and encoding it on that laptop. I literally had to kill AME partway through because I was seconds away from burning out my processor (I had been using RealTemp because of how hot that thing ran using Word, lol). It was that event that made me convince myself to start researching how to build a real editing PC (using an i7 920 at the time). I probably drove Harm nuts back then with all my questions, lol! But this rig has been my workhorse and has been through countless upgrades, the only thing remaining from the original 2009 build is the case and the power supply.
I know, you guys didn't need all that info, just felt like shooting the breeze. Thanks again!

Printing labels from CVI using ActiveX and WORD

I'd like to print labels from CVI. I managed to create the label type I need
in WORD. Now I want to use that in CVI. The following macro describes exactly
what I want. Maybe someone can translate this to CVI, please ???
Sub Macro2()
' Macro2 Macro
' Macro recorded 17-02-00 by IT-Systems
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Normal.dot", NewTemplate:=
False
Application.MailingLabel.DefaultPrintBarCode = False
Application.MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument Name:="10.63230", Address:=""
, AutoText:="ToolsCreateLabels1", ExtractAddress:=False
End Sub

We do not have an example that will do *exactly* what you need, but you should
find an ActiveX example program, either in the CVI samples folder or on the
Example Programs Database, that illustrates how to print a document in Word.
The function you will need to call that actually invokes the print method
is Word_DocumentPrintOutOld. It's defined in word2000.h; the prototype,
in case you were curious is:
HRESULT CVIFUNC Word_DocumentPrintOutOld (CAObjHandle objectHandle,
ERRORINFO *errorInfo,
VARIANT background, VARIANT append,
VARIANT range, VARIANT outputFileName,
VARIANT from, VARIANT to, VARIANT
item
VARIANT copies, VARIANT pages,
VARIANT pageType, VARIANT printToFile,
VARIANT collate,
VARIANT activePrinterMacGX,
VARIANT manualDuplexPrint);

Printing from IE9 with Windows 7. Error message: "There was an internal error and internet explorer is unable to print this document".

I can copy a page and paste it into word and it prints fien. I can print all word documents, Excel document, powerpoint documents, PDF documnets stored and opened from Adobe acrobat, but not PDFs while still online. I have reloaded the printer driver (HP
1020 laserjet) searched through any windows and IE updates all to no avail. I tried running IE as adminitrator and turning off "Enable protected mode". I tried to run Mr Fixit to recreate a missing folder and it said "does not apply to your problem" (or words
to that effect). I am running MS Office 2010 and Windows 7 and IE9. Help!

OK, I found the solution for this, at least for IE 64 bit. My IE 32 bit never had this problem. I am using Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
I read, from someone else, that opening IE 64 bit (right click on IE icon) and select "Run as Administrator" would allow you to print. Doing that way has to be done each time you open IE 64 bit...BUT...If you right click on the IE 64 bit
icon (not the one in the Taskbar) and slide down to 'properties' and then left click, you will see an "Advanced" tab box (about 2/3rds the way down) that allows you to open another properties page. Click it open and select "Run as administrator".
This will allow you to print by just opening IE 64 bit the normal way and going to whatever webpage you want to print. I have done several tests and all seems back to normal.

My family of four (2 iPhones, 2 iPods) all share the same iTunes account. Many text messages sent to or from mine or my husband's phones are also received on my daughter's iPod, and vice versa. How do I fix this?

How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.

Hello Hrd1977,
This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

How can I view the text messages sent and received from my phone?how can I view the past text messages sent to my phone

How can I view the text messages sent and received on one of the other phones on my plan?

You would have to view them on the other phone.

Is there a way to print all text messages/sms from an iPhone4 3G? I need to go back about 2-3 years back, i also want to see the text messages, not only the tel. number and whether it was sent or received.

Is there a way to see/print ALL text messages exchanges from my previous phone (Blackberry Storm) to iPhone4 3G? I want to be able to print ALL text messages from 2 lines on my account. Thank you.

If they are still stored on your phone, with the BB you may be able to print them; if not natively, you may be able to download an app that will do that. Offhand, I'm not familiar with one, but google may help. -The iPhone may have an app that will allow this as well. Two to three YEARS? That' s a lot of texting!!
