Hi there,
I've the problem controlling the Quicktime ActiveX in LabVIEW.
I wrote a small program, which call the Quicktime ActiveX and play a video. But I cannot start the video in the program because the IQTMovie\play seems doesn't work.
Also how can I read out the current time during playing from the Quicktime ActiveX?

Hello wilburwu,
please find attached a simple example which demonstrates how to use ActiveX to play Quicktime movie in LabVIEW.
Additionally I provide you several useful links regarding the ActiveX communication.
Because the software Quicktime acts as an ActiveX Server, you have to check the documentation of Quicktime.
LabVIEW is just an ActiveX client, which accesses the properties and methods which Quicktime provides.

Hi Ulrich,
thanks for your reply. My question is how to control the Quicktime "play", "pause" or "stop" functions using the AcitveX.
In your example the video is in playback as soon as the program starts. Can I use the quicktime plug-in to play the video for 10 seconds and take a 2 seconds pause and then play till the end?
Best regards,
Wilbur
