What Class/Method/Object's would I use to send variable form data to BradySoft? I have a basic label setup in BradySoft and I want to send it variable form data (a serial number) from Labview ActiveX. I have attached Brady's ActiveX programmers guide but can't figure out what to use for this.
P.S. I would call Brady or TekLynx tech support about this but they have a strict policy whereas BradySoft supports ActiveX but their tech support doesn't provide programming help with it. I figured I'd try the NI Forums.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Aaronb,
I presume by publishing an ActiveX programmers manual the BradySoft software installs Active X objects. You may choose to interact with these objects within LabVIEW using Active X controls. The following link will provide a starting point for LabVIEW help topics on Active X communication:
Select ActiveX Object Dialog Box

Building a Simple Web Browser Using ActiveX (Example of ActiveX arcitecture)

Hope this helps provide a bit of guidance.
Cheers!

Just an update. I was able to get this working on my own after a few days of messing with it (I guess the best way for learning!). I have attached a sample VI for anyone interested. Can we Kudo ourselves?
