• specify by refnum automation programme

  Can I programmatically specify the input of refnum automation for automating opening function?

  GS,

  It is not possible to programmitaclly specify the refnum automation, such as the refnum determines properties and functions we are trying to control.  Essentially, this program by program all VI.

  I'm sorry if it's confusing, but I hope this helps.

• Creation of Refnum Automation to Excel

  Hello

  So I've worked to read Excel documents with report generation tool, but realized the document I was trying to read is password protected and requires an update link (PivotTable).

  Searching I found an accessory useful toolkit Joe_H (post #2) http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Excel-Board/m-p/379682 . I try to recreate its VI, but there are some things I don't understand. (I started only working with refnums & variants)

  My Questions:

  1. referring to my 'refnum.png' attachment, black refum automation is copied from example VI and purple is what I tried to do. They have the same ActiveX class, but purple throws an exception error 3005. I can't find the refnum of the black arrow.

  Googling this error, gives a solution, but I can not understand how to use or if it applies to me. http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW/error-3005-occurred-at-Automation-open-using-ActiveX-RichText-box/TD-...

  2 referring to 'excel.png' for the node invoke - workbooks, how is a person knows how to use the data types variant? For example, WriteResPassword I just tried to use a string and it worked. I noticed that the help info gets thinner when working with property/Invoke nodes.

  Thanks for your time.

  I don't know why the difference in colors between the refnums, but I doubt that's the problem. Looks like it's just an artifact weird opening a VI from an earlier version of LabVIEW. If you convert this refnum control to a constant and then again to a control, it will turn pink, but I guess it will always work. Can you show the code showing you how you use this refnum?

  As mentioned nyc, you refer to the Microsoft documentation to determine what kind of data for wire entry variant. There is no documentation of LabVIEW because it is not a component of LabVIEW.

• Error 5008 opening with ActiveX Automation in LabVIEW

  I use a VI Open Automation to communicate with a Server ActiveX in LabVIEW.  I chose the ActiveX class that I created in my Refnum Automation. When I run my code, I get the following error:

  

  What can I do to fix this?

  What ActiveX Server?

• Sequence context Ref

  Is there a difference between these two references?

  The monochromatic one comes from \vi.lib\addons\TestStand\_TSLegacy.llb\LabVIEW Test - Sequence Context.ctl. I see this in all of my old code (some of TestStand 1.0). This is defined as a strict typdef.

  If you create a node invoke is bound to the legacy monochrome control, and then create a control of the entrance to the node reference invoke, you get a refnum "rose".

  

  Control 'pink' is a standard Refnum Automation. 'Black' control is a Type of the Refnum Automation standard Def. If a Subvi uses the Type as input Def and wire you a Refnum standard Automation at the entrance of the Sub - VI you will see a point constraint (and vice versa).

  I hope this helps.

• Problem with ActiveX / Excel / LV7.1 in the program who has worked on an old installation of LV7.1...

  Hello

  I have a LV7.1 program that worked when ran on an old installation of LV7.1.

  I installed Office XP and LV7.1 and you can open the program without any problem.  After the opening I ctrl + shift + click on the run button to force the recompilation and the arrow becomes broken.

  All the mistakes I found are the same: invoke node contains terminal unwired or bad.

  Here is a screenshot of one of the erroneous block diagrams.  I hope that the error is recognizable.

  Only two issues I can think of are:

  1. I'm running Windows 7 - maybe the ActiveX does not work the same way?  I'm currently installing Windows XP to see if this corrects the problem.

  2. perhaps, there was an Office toolkit or something used with LV7.1 to create this program?  If so, any ideas on what it was and where I can get hold of it?

  Thank you

  Dave

  

  I suppose that the node to invoke in the picture is the node throwing the error.  Have you tried right-clicking on the refnum automation on the front panel control and a link to the ActiveX component.  If this solves the problem, it's probably the version of changing object model.

  Good luck!

• Open VB6 dll on labview COM type libraries

  Hi all

  I have a third party DLL generated from VB6 and I try to access its functions using the block "call library function.

  When I select the library path, I do not see the function I want on the field 'Function name' but if I type the name of the function, it automatically generates

  the parameters as defined in the VB6 file, but I keep seeing the broken arrow and the error "not found in the function library.

  I know that the function is defined as a COM type library because I tested it on a visualization of the Dll called "DLL Export Viewer" software.

  Do you know guys a way to access this function? Thank you.

  Hi Dennis,

  I am new to use the LabView dll, thanks for your response.

  To solve my problem, I created a "refnum automation control" on my front and then traveled to the DLL file. After that I just used nodes Invoke/property for ActiveX files as you said to access my functions.

  Thanks for your attention!

• Call the library feature not filling in DLL functions

  I have a DLL (written in VB) who controls some 3rd party hardware.

  They have some (very bad) documents that has a few functions in the DLL as well as input parameters.

  I am using the library function node call in LabVIEW to open the DLL so I can take care of everything in LabVIEW, but for some reason it is not properly populating the list of the functions of the DLL. When I browse to the DLL and fall to the bottom of the list of functions, all I get is this

  

  Those who are not functions in this DLL. In fact, if I go to any DLL in the folder, they gave me, these same 4 functions are listed every time. I'm doing something wrong?

  According to me, this indicates that your DLL is actually an ActiveX, not a standard DLL object.  Drop Automation open on your diagram, create a constant for the Refnum Automation of entry, right click, select ActiveX class...-> go, then click on the Browse button in the dialog box (it may take a while to open) and find your DLL file.  See if that gets you a list of objects in the DLL.

• The 'Excel.FormatCondition' activeX control class opening

  I am using activeX controls for excellent including the classes Excel._Application, Excel._Workbook and Excel._Worksheet. I used an open refnum of automation of opening of the application class, then I used nodes of property to join the workbook and worksheet classes. Now, I want to use the Excel.FormatCondition class. I couldn't go to class with nodes and its methods, so I use a refnum automation open as before, but I get "Error 3005 occurred at the opening of Automation".

  I found another post with advice to record the commands, but I read that the excel activeX controls need not to be recorded - they work under windows.

  If I do not need to record something, I don't ' know not what. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6 and Office 2007.

  Andrew

  

  This is not true. As I mentioned in another threadas an example, you get out of the status of the format of the collection after you have added using the Item method. In Excel 2003, which returns a FormatCondition type directly. In Excel 2007, it returns a variant. Therefore, you can use the variant data between the FormatConditions.Item () method and the FormatCondition.Interior property, as I showed in response No. 14, to convert the variant to a FormatCondition type.

• DLLs in labview

  I need help with a dll running in labview 8.2

  I have no experience in C, but I can probably understand the basics if they explained.

  I have a 3rd party dll and a PDF explaining the different functions.  But when I insert the library call feature, I don't see all of the features listed in the PDF document.  Is there something that I am missing?

  Thanks for the help,

  Branson

  

  This isn't a standard Windows DLL, it is an ActiveX object.  Actually, this makes your life easier.  Take open connectivity-> palette of ActiveX Automation.  Create a constant for the Refnum Automation entry, right click and choose Select the ActiveX class-> Browse.  Find your DLL.  You can then use ActiveX property and invoke nodes to call functions in the library.

• Error occurred in the unregistered class... Because Excel is not installed?

  I received the following error message when you attempt to run an application built with LV 7.1:

  Error-2147221164 occurred at the class not registered in Open_Excel.vi > Report_generation_excel_Tbeta WITH new layout.vi > beta Mirror_Cycling_Main - 2.vi

  Would it because Excel is not installed on the computer?  Will there be a problem if Excel is installed after the 7.1 runtime drivers and LabVIEW?

  Also, should I stay away from install later versions of Excel than what has been used originally?

  Could not create a VI like that with the basic version of 8.2?  I am not sure that some of the controls on the front panel are and 7.1 doesn't give me any additional information in the help dialog box - if someone could give me the names of the various components circled in red in the attached JPG I would appreciate it.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Yes, if you do not have Excel, then you will get this error because the code is trying to access the ActiveX Excel server. No Excel, no ActiveX in Excel server, code no worky.

  It does not matter if you install Excel after running LV.

  Yes, he will question if you install a later version of Excel, as Microsoft change the ActiveX interface with each new version of Excel. So, what works for a version of Microsoft Excel may not work with another.

  These controls are controls of Refnum Automation. In the controls palette Refnum-> Refnum Automation. These should be available in the basic version of LabVIEW.

• call of LabView VB6 DLLs

  Hello

  I have a dll written in VB6 to control some 3rd party hardware

  I already tried to use the node of the library function call but it doesn't seem to work, after that also, I tried to use

  RefNum Automation, entry and select ActiveX class and and locate my DLL but when I select the dll, the following message shows on the screen: the selected file is not a .NET, type library or executable automation assembly.

  Keep on the issue, I tried to save the Visual Basic DLL on the system through the REGSVR32 command but I got another different message (fbidio.dll was loaded, but the DIRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered). Looks like the dll that I intend to use is very old.

  Can someone guide me on this issue, what other things I can try.

  Thank you.

  Concerning

  Hello

  The LabView collapse when I try to use the node library call, in my understanding, based on some comments I've seen, it is not possible to use the call library node for the VB dll.

  Anyway I already understood how to control my gear, I found a module update for Active X controls in the web for my hardware and now my application works perfectly with an ActiveX container, then insert the ActiveX object.

  Tounsiiaa so.

• Automator leave all

  I want a script to close all open applications and empty the trash.

  Applications and Finder behave differently.

  Automator "Utilities" options appear the best result, so I'm focused there.

  I am able to stop all applications, but the Finder is stubborn

  I can close the Finder components as a group within Automator, but combining this group with the group "Close all Applications" The Automator scripts fails to close the components Finder (Finder, Get info and inspector window).

  Here's what I have so far.

  Group 1: on his own closing everything except the Finder stuff.

  Utilities > quit all applications

  Quit all applications

  Group 2: this group works well.

  Utilities > run AppleScript

  the term {parameters}

  Tell application "Finder".

  empty the trash

  tell the end

  delay 1

  Back entrance

  end of race

  Group 3: run on its own that works, but not with "quit all Applications.

  Utilities > run AppleScript

  the term {parameters}

  Tell application "Finder".

  activate

  quit smoking

  delay 3

  Tell application "Finder".

  activate

  tell the end

  tell the end

  Back entrance

  end of race

  Group 4: it works on its own for Finder stuff, but does not work with other groups.

  Utilities > run Script Shell

  CAT

  osascript-e 'tell application "Finder" to quit smoking.

  I noticed that sometimes the AppleScript works, and a second later it stops working.

  For now, I found a way to make it work. Automator works great Finder asking you to empty the trash. Then I dropped the trash from Group 2 to group 4, the bottom of the collection of Automator. Now it works... for now...

  Group 1: Utilities > quit all applications

  Quit all applications

  Group 2: Utilities > run AppleScript

  the term {parameters}

  Tell application "Finder".

  activate

  quit smoking

  delay 3

  Tell application "Finder".

  activate

  tell the end

  tell the end

  Back entrance

  end of race

  Group 3: Utilities > run Script Shell

  CAT

  osascript-e 'tell application "Finder" to quit smoking.

  
  

  Group 4: Utilities > run AppleScript

  the term {parameters}

  Tell application "Finder".

  empty the trash

  tell the end

  delay 1

  Back entrance

  end of race

  
  

  If anyone knows why this command works, an explanation would be appreciated.
  

• Node of automation is much more difficult to 'uncheck' than to 'create '.

  I use logical X about 5 months now, and I felt a fairly frustrating relationship with interaction of automation.  When I load automation, 'creation' of a knot of automation is simple... 1. click anywhere along the yellow line creates a node that is precisely where I clicked.  However, "popping/unclicking/destroy" this same node takes anywhere from 3 to 6 clicks to work.  I would love to be able to uncheck these nodes with the same exact ease with which I am able to create.  No relief in this case would be great!  Thank you

  Double click on the node to remove it... as simple as when it was created...   Click to create, double-click Delete.

  

• Why is location for AppleID sign near Majura Act?

  Given that the update my iOS 10 phone and allows the authentication of 2 factor that I continue to receive alert notifications saying that my ID Apple is used to connect to a device near a place I'm not nearby. Does anyone know what it is? Or has been similar.

  Ideas appreciated

  < m3 >

  Two-factor authentication Gets the message that a device tries to access your Apple ID account and sends you a message.

  If you are far away where the device attempts to access your account, you can check that your location service is on.

  If this is the case, you can change your password, because it looks as if someone has this location is trying to access your Apple ID account
