The ActiveX control cannot be instatiated --VC++

When I try to insert any Javabean ActiveX control in VC++ resource dialog(design time).. I get the following error..
"The ActiveX control cannot be instatiated"..
If I create it at runtime..It does not get painted..
if I resize my application my control appears and then disappears
If I try in Visual basic.. I am able to insert the control
and run.. but it crashes at the very end..
Any ideas

I have also had painting problems when embedding a ActiveX'ed Java bean into
a VC++ application. I think what we did was a transparent background. For some
reason the background from the VC++ application painted over the ActiveX'ed bean.
I cannot remember all the details now, but it was definitely a problem with the background
from VC++.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

How to install the ActiveX control

hi Can some one help and tell how to install the ActiveX control.
Thanks

ActiveX runs on Internet Explorer. Which in turn only runs on Windows computers.
So NO, we can't.

How do you fix the ActiveX controls?

When trying to play games in IWin the message comes up and says and beeps that the ActiveX controls isn't working on some level. Do I need to worry about this message? If I do, how do I go about fixing this problem. Do I need to upgrade this control?

Hi idpress2002, the only browser that runs ActiveX controls is Internet Explorer.
Can you run the demos on the Ajatix page here in your Firefox: [http://www.ajatix.com/lightbox/expression-web-add-in.html]? (Scroll down to "Lightbox examples")
''If so,'' you may need vendor support on how to get it to work through Expression Web in your page.
''If not,'' your Firefox may not be configured correctly. Please start a new question providing your system details and add-on information. You can do that here:

"An error occured saving the ActiveX control"

I pulled up an old LabVIEW program today
that I used to work on under Win-NT.
Now I use Win-XP.
We're talking about LabVIEW 5.1.1 on this program.
The program suddenly throws
"An error occured saving the ActiveX control"
when I try to save the program.
Never saw this under NT.
Anybody knows what this is about ?
Martin

Thanks for posting but we need more information.
Do you have activeX controls in the VI? Are you using 3d graphs? Does the VI run on XP? What version of LabVIEW do you have?

"an error occurred saving the activex control"

I'm trying to compile an executable in Labview 5.1. When I run the build app, it gets about half way done then pops up the error:
"an error occurred saving the activex control"
After clearing the error message, it proceeds to go through the motions of compling the app, but no exe is generated.
The design mode progam run operates fine, and it saves fine as well in design mode.
Thanks!

wawatts,
Though Brian and I got a broken arrow because we didn't have the necessary ActiveX component installed, I imagine you get no errors on the development system because you do have the component.
This problem would be much harder to pin down on your side given the lack of development-environment errors and the sprawling design of the main VI. One possible troubleshooting approach would be the LabVIEW Find functionality (Edit >> Find). ActiveX functionality typically involves the use of Property Nodes and Invoke Nodes, so if you search for any Invoke Nodes (Select Object, then Functions >> Communication >> ActiveX >> Invoke Node) in the scope of your main VI and its subVIs, you could perhaps have turned up some hits that take you to the subVI that has the control that is presumably causing the problem.
Unfortunately, I fear that finding the problem area doesn't solve the problem. It seems to me that either the LabVIEW app builder or the ActiveX component is doing something unexpected or nonstandard that is leading to the error message.
I'm going to stick to my "upgrade the software as much as possible" guns:
1. Install the LabVIEW 5.1.1 patch I linked to above, if it isn't already installed. There were fixes to the development environment and changes to the app builder that might resolve your problem. This is a free patch.
2. Consider upgrading the ActiveX control. I think that the latest version is called IntuiLink for 54600-series Oscilloscopes, Version 3.1, and it's available here on the Agilent site.
It was easy to do a simple test using your Xezgetsetup.vi on my system (LabVIEW 7.1.1, XP) with the updated ActiveX control. First, I installed the Agilent software. Then, I right-clicked inside the ActiveX control on the front panel of Xezgetsetup.vi, chose Insert ActiveX Object, and selected Agilent 54600 Scope Control from the list. Then I had to go to the block diagram and relink a few of the property and invoke nodes by just left-clicking on broken nodes and re-selecting the items that your code was already displaying. That fixed the VI so that it would run again.
Then I built that VI into an EXE and got no errors.
Perhaps all this proves is that you would have clear sailing if you upgraded to LabVIEW 7.1 and got the most recent Agilent ActiveX control--and maybe this is a good reason to bite the bullet and do that upgrade now--but it's certainly possible that you can do the same thing in 5.1 and solve your problem. Worth a shot.
Hope that helps,
John

The activex control for flash player could not be registered. Please help!

Can't install flash player. Keep getting activex control for flash player could not be registered. I have tried all of the solutions provided on this forum. Running windows 7 32-bit running IE8.
Please help.

Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

Opening the activeX control "Excel.FormatCondition" class

I am using activeX controls for excel including the classes Excel._Application, Excel._Workbook, and Excel._Worksheet. I used an open automation refnum to open the application class, then I used property nodes to get to the workbook and worksheet classes. Now I want use the Excel.FormatCondition class. I couldn't get to the class with nodes and methods, so I'm using an open automation refnum as before, but I'm getting "Error 3005 occurred at Automation Open".
I found another post with advice to register the controls, but I read that the excel activeX controls don't need to be registered--they just work in windows.
If I do need to register something, I dont' know what. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6, and Office 2007.

Here's a picture (scaled-down excerpt of my project) to show how I'm opening the application class and using invoke nodes and property nodes to get to the workbook and worksheet classes. I used a cluster to group the classes that I use later on, so you'll notice that I'm not closing the classes in this exceprt.
I went through all the drop-down menu's in the invoke nodes and property nodes and I couldn't find a way to get to "FormatCondition" so I figured I'd have to use an automation refnum, and select the "Excel.FormatCondition" class, and another automation open (which is what I tried showing earlier). I understand I have to specify a range, but I'm not quite there yet. (Sorry if I mis-led you, Michael, with my first attachment.)
Does that clear up my question?

IE 7.0.5730.11
I have tried quite a few of the things on the first page of this [url]http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662582#2905677[url/]

Hi, I think Pat suggested the SubInACL link. It has helped users before. If you have tried it and it didn't help then I don't see any need to repeat it. What I would like you to do before we do anything else, is to take a look at the Revised Adobe Troubleshooting Guide than came out on 7/21/10. It has a section on Permissions needed to Install Flash Player and something you can do rather easily to confirm that you do have permissions.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
I just finished working with someone that had RealPlayer and the add ons and no matter how many times he Disabled the add ons, they would automatically re-enable themselves during the Reboot(during the Uninstall/Install) So you could try to Disable them and check right after running the Uninstall and after the first Reboot.
Since you used the DLM, check in your IE add ons to see if there is a getplus, get_atlcom Class or a DLM Control listed.
If so, Disable them all.
The Uninstaller is used to remove old Flash Player files. If you want to check your Flash folder, or have done so and can confirm that there are no Flash files whatsoever, then no you don't need to use it.
I would still Disable SuperAntiSpyware during the Install. The Windows Firewall would not block Flash Player, but you can Disable it if you like.
While you are doing that I'll give you the link for the McAfee Removal Tool unless you have it.

Remote control using DCOM: Error: "ActiveX component cannot be created."

Hello,
I want to address a OMICRON CPC100 device via remote control. I have a dll ("TESTCONTROL.dll"), which provides methods to control the CPC100. In order to encapsulate this functionality, I've written a VB.NET-dll ("CLC_CL_for_Net.dll") (it's a class-dll) which calls methods of TESTCONTROL.dll. Now I want to use CLC_CL_for_Net.dll in LabVIEW.
Here's the code of CLC_CL_for_Net.dll:
Imports TESTCONTROLLib
Namespace MyCPCNamespace
    Public Class CPCClass
        Public Sub New()
        End Sub
        Public Sub testfunction(ByVal ipaddress As String)
            Dim tc As TestProcedure
            Dim atm As IATMTest
            tc = CreateObject("TestControl.TestProcedure", ipaddress)   '<-- here the error occurs!
            atm = CreateObject("TestControl.ATMTest", ipaddress)
            atm.Activate(300, 10, 1)
            atm.Deactivate()
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
In order to enable DCOM on my computer, I did the following:
- I switched the firewall off.
- I started "dcomcnfg.exe", chose "Component Services/Computers/My Computer -> Properties" and checked the checkbox "Enable Distributed COM on this computer".
- I also chose the tab "My Computer Properties/COM Security" and allowed everyone full access and launch
permissions.
- I created an exe-file from my LabVIEW VI, which uses the dll, with the help of the LabVIEW Application Builder.
For this exe-file and also for the TESTCONTROL, I set the authentication level to "None".
For test purposes, I used my dll in a C++ project. There everything works fine. However, when I try to use the dll
in LabVIEW (using LabVIEW's .NET constructor node and method node, which you can find under Connectivity -> .NET), the program fails at the line "tc = CreateObject("TestControl.TestProcedure", ipAddress)".
Here the error message displayed by LabVIEW (I translated it from German into English):
"Error 1172 has occurred at Error calling method CLC_CL_for_Net.MyCPCNamespace.CPCClass.testfunction of ObjectId
handle: 0x2BB117C for obj 0x3F19E1D[CLC_CL_for_Net.MyCPCNamespace.CPCClass] in domain [LabVIEW Domain for Run] and
thread 3792, (System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Inner Exception: System.Exception: The ActiveX component cannot be created.
) in CPC100_RemoteControlVI.vi"
As the dll works when I use it in the C++ project, I don't understand why this error occurs when I use the dll in
LabVIEW. Do I have to give LabVIEW any special permissions?
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot for your efforts!
Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I am not really familiar with .NET assemblies but I found couple informations on your error :
First of all, about the Error 1172 in LabVIEW, there is two things to proof:
Ensure that the .NET assemblies that you are using are saved in the root directory of the top-level VI.
Add the .NET assembly as a reference in LabVIEW by selecting Tools»Advanced»NET Assembly References. Click the Add button and navigate to the location of all the assemblies that you want to call.
Those two steps sometimes solve Error 1172 related problems. I also found some information about the "ActiveX component cannot be created" error. A .Net Class library needs to be in a COM wrapper in order for it to be called through COM methods, such as ActiveX. The way to do so is:
1. Create a new .NET Class Library project.
2. Remove the Class1.vb that is created.
3. Click Add Class on your project.
4. Choose "COM Class", and add it.
5. Add at least 1 function or sub in it.
6. Compile it, and Visual Studio should registrer it automaticly.
If you whish to manuall reg it, or create a registry entry file, use "RegAsm.exe" in the .NET Framework folder.
I hope this could be any helpful to you

I need a little help help with the Spreadsheet 9 ActiveX control

Here's the situation: I want to import data from an Excel file to the MS Office Spreadsheet 9.0 ActiveX control on the LV front page. I can retrieve the data just fine but I can't get it to display in the control on the front page. I can select a range and when I try to write to the Value property I find that I cannot. The problem seems to be the Value property itself cannot handle 2-D data arrays. I can select a 2D range and write a single value which gets written to every cell in the range but when I read the data I get only the first cell in the range and an error if I try to caste the Variant output to a 2D array.
I've noticed a Value2 property for the range when actually working with Excel but I haven't been able to determine where or if it exists for the Spreadsheet 9 control. I've attached a little test program to better show what I'm experiencing/talking about. Anyone have any suggestions on this? It seems like it would be possible or else why have the control there but I haven't found a way around it. Thanks in advance.

Hey Gary,
What version of MS Office does the 9.0 ActiveX control come with. I have version 11.0 here. I could get your program working on my computer but I had to reinitialize the activex control to the 11.0 control. I also had to reselect the properties. All the properties are essentially the same except Value. In this ActiveX version, I see the Value2 property (the Value property does not exist). And your method of reading and writing to the Value2 property handles 2D arrays.
If you can tell me what version of Office you are using, I will try to find a computer with that version and try your program.

Most of the computers have Office 2000 which uses the Value property and the Spreadsheet 9.0 control. I too have been able to duplicate it ona computer with Office 2000 (Spreadsheet 11.0). I think it may just be a functionality of the Excel version though for some reason if I use Excel and go through the song and dance with the methods and properties, I get to the Value2 property.
After writing that it seems weird that using Excel properties and methods gets me to the point where I can select the Value2 method and read/write accordigly, but with the Spreadsheet 9.0 control (which, I assume is simply embedding Excel in the app) I get to a different set of properties. Perhps Spreadsheet 10 (or 11) is on the computer but not showing up? That's the only sensible conclusion I can come to, though it seems weird for it to not show up on multiple computers which effectively kills that idea anyway.
Anyway. thanks for any help you can provide.

AcroPDF ActiveX control on Excel Userform --- how to include it when I print the form?

Here is a screen-shot of my Excel Userform which IS displaying the correct PDF file inside of an AcroPDF ActiveX control.
Everything works on this form, including an option to print out a full-sized (8.5 x 11) version of the PDF.
However ...
I would like to push the "Print this Form" button, and have a paper copy of exactly what you see on-screen.
The form does print, but the PDF displayed in the ActiveX control is BLANK.
I also have an Image control on this same form with code that allows me to browse for an image file (.JPG) which I use for Custom signs ...
The form prints and the image displayed in the Image Control DOES print with the form.
The Code:
Private Sub cboSelectSign_Change()
Dim MyPDF As String
If Len(Me.cboSelectSign.Value) > 0 Then
    If Me.cboSelectSign.Value = "(Custom)" Then
        Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = False
        Me.ctlImage.Visible = True
        Me.ctlImage.Picture = Nothing
        If MsgBox("Do you have an image that you'd like to display?", vbYesNo, "Display an Image?") = vbYes Then
            fOpenFileBrowser
        End If
    Else
        Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = True
        Me.ctlImage.Visible = False
        MyPDF = Me.cboSelectSign.Column(1)
        Me.txtPDFpath = MyPDF
        Me.AcroPDF1.src = MyPDF
    End If
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:03"))
    Me.txtWidth.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

Has anyone had this problem?
