Get FrontPanel control references via ActiveX

Hello

I tried to get the references to controls frontpanel via LabVIEW ActiveX Server, equivalent to the LabVIEW code:

but I can't find the ActiveX methods / propertis to use.   Is there a way to do this?

/ LeifS

The ActiveX Automation Server interface to the LabVIEW VI server exposes only a very small subset to the real VI LabVIEW server. Basically, it's enough to load and run special and pass the values to the controls on the front panel by name, but that's all.

The reason is twofold. When VI Server was introduced in around LabVIEW LabVIEW 5.0, it was especially exposed total VI server functionality. He was not at all script and controls only limited access to the hierarchy of the objects of the façade. Even in this case the ActiveX interface not only exposes all methds and VI server properties, in part because exposure of LabVIEW internas would have required a vast typelibrary ActiveX, in part because it was not a major concern to be able to do more than launch screw through it. It was better than the DDE interface already by a long stretch.

VI server was then extended in later versions, but the ActiveX interface was really changed much, also because Microsoft had .net and declared the exaggeration of the ActiveX from a few years earlier to be discouraged anyway.

  • How can I get the control specifies a reference (by the script)?

    By what method of property can I control that specifies a reference? (See an example of a reference to the code snippet).

    When I reference (ControlReferenceConstant in the script), I can't get control of the reference points to. I guess it's done with the property ' reference control bound to. " But I don't know how to convert the variant to the control. Conversion to the control class does not work. (See excerpt below). Conversion does not return an error, but the reference is not valid.

    A few details: the variant contains a reference to a control and has a name matching [2]. The type of reference data is just as well [3]. But the reference is 0, which is of course invalid digital show (seen in the probe and indicator).

    An entire book would be to iterate through all controls (indicators included as well as items in clusters and berries). The label could be the first check. But because they do not have to be unique is not enough. As a second step could be verified that the ReferenceConstant is listed by the property "nodes of control."(delede contrôle) reference ".

    [1] LV12 helps ControlReferenceConstant properties:

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvscript/controlreferenceconstant_p/

    [2] get the variant name with:

    Select 'Type of Show' in the context menu of indicator varying or

    OpenG VI 'get name of data '.

    NIs in \Utility\VariantDataType\GetTypeInfo.vi VI

    [3] get the Refnum Type in the variant with

    NIs in \Utility\VariantDataType\GetRefnumInfo.vi VI

    If you look at using the property, you will see that it actually returns the data type of the node, not the actual control. That's way, you cannot use the reference in variant - it's not a real reference to a control.

    I think it's all just an oversight that no one added to the relevant property to the node, but there is a simpler solution for you that I think should work, that should come to him on the other side - for each control in the public Service, get the property [] of control reference nodes and it look for the reference of your node. If you found it, the node made reference to this control.

  • Properties through control reference

    I have a group of digital controls. I would like to control properties of these individual controls (persons with disabilities, Visible, value, NumText.Format, and NumText.Precision) by passing a reference to the cluster on the main vi, to one under vi.

    Breast of my Subvi I wire my reference to the Controls property of [] cluster to get an array of references to elements within the cluster following the order of the items in cluster.

    Using this table of references I find properties available for the disabled, Visible properties and value options, among others. However, there are no options, to control NumText.Format and NumText.Precision.

    Suggestions, or perhaps another way to address the issue?

    Thank you!

    Table of control references will be a generic class and therefore cannot be defined specific propertiies. To access the specific control properties, you must cast to a more specific class first. If all controls are of the same type, you can simply throw all, using the "most specific type", for numeric types. This should make the NumText available properties for the parameter.

  • Control reference 1055 error when you use a loop for

    Hello

    I'm having a problem using control references to accomplish the following: I a VI that reads data from a text file, and then uses that automatically update the value of a control on front panel on two live different, then set the default values, and then save them. Comes from the array of control references, I tried looping on text labels until I have find the one corresponding to the order, I want to change and then update its value. The problem I have is that if I use a loop for, then 9times of LabVIEW 10 complains error 1055: "LabVIEW: object reference is not valid. If instead I the wiring to the index table and manually extract the reference, then it works every time and for each index of the reference of the order.

    Can someone take a look at my code and just see if its obvious what the problem is? In this case, I have a simple solution, but I would really like to understand what I did wrong. I have included as a code snippet, but also attached the files if that helps (Its Import_Colormap.vi, which is the problem). Persons with disabilities code fails, the active code works but I can't see what is really the difference between them - I can change the index of array 0,1,2, 3. and no mistake.

    Thank you.

    Your "Colormap.ctl" is a strict type def that contains a ring.  You define the elements programmatically, make the default values, and then save the "Colormap.ctl"?   I was never practicing this but here is a thread that covers this in detail. I do not understand what you expect reach by running.
    The next thing: at the same time (at the same time!), you open the Colormap.vi (this is what we see in yout PNG) that contains an instance of the Colormap.ctl on the front panel. I'm not pretty sure if LabVIEW can handle this correctly. This could be the reason why you sometimes get the error 1105.
    I prefer StringsAndValues and eventually the value of the ring running.  There is no need to do it with a def of strict type.

  • Binding controls reference

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a possibility to bind controls of the same type of reference data, so that they contain the same data.

    This means that when you write to a property "Value" of the reference it automatically updates bound control without having to update "manually" go in a loop or using 'value (signalling)' / combination of the event.

    I would use it for a central display (one man control formatted) which can be activated to display one of the multiple values will cause updated (currently by the value property). For example allow a user to choose between analog input 0.7 then display the value accordingly (and keep up to date automatically).

    Best regards, W@Work

    Nope, no such construction. A better solution would be to pass data around, rather than controlling the references. In the loop of data generators, instead of write control references, to group the values and put the cluster in the notifier. Then, in another loop, pull the last notification, select the appropriate value and connect directly to the indicator. Control references are inefficent (they need a switch to the UI thread).

  • Get a static reference to decoration

    Is it possible to get a static reference to a decoration? I have some tips that is represented by colorful decorations that I want to change the colors of them based on the data that I get. I know, it is possible to obtain references to the decorations in a programmatic manner, but it is something huge maintainability because it is incredibly difficult to follow the course of the program. Thank you.

    I don't think you can get that directly. Check the exchange of ideas. I think that there has been a few proposals along this line.

    Perhaps another approach would be to put indicators of color behind the decorations box and change the color of those. The borders of your pipe decorations would be opaque, while the Interior would be transparent to allow the squares of color to show through. The color boxes appear as standard terminals on the block diagram. With appropriate labels, they fit perfectly in the paradigm of data flow.

  • I'm trying to control adobe via VBA in Excel

    I'm trying to control adobe via VBA in Excel, well I can control some things, like opening the window 'about' and so on. However, what I want to do is click on the button "Prepare form" by using VBA, and I tried a lot of different ways to do this. HOW to trigger the button to "prepare the form?

    Grateful for answers!

    You can automate Adobe Acrobat in various ways, but none of them involve button clicks, and several button clicks are not things that can be automated. Programmers wishing to work with Acrobat need the Acrobat SDK kit.

    I notice that you just say "Adobe". Maybe you mean the free Adobe Reader/Acrobat Reader software. If so you're out of luck, some interfaces in the SDK Acrobat Reader will not be cut.
