CWPID Confirmed not to work on Win 7. Any workarounds?

[MiranShahverdyan]

Component Works PID activeX  gives constantly 0 as return of CWPID.NextOutput( ) function. on win 7

Same piece of code returns non-zero values on win XP.

NI's provided PID sample code demonstrates this issue very well.

Any ideas on workarounds? (they officially not support win7)

Hi Miran,

You are correct in that we do not support Component Works in Windows 7. However, there may be a possibility of it working under compatability mode, have you tried this?

Right click on the Component Works icon > Compatability > Compatability Mode > Run this program in compatability mode for: Windows XP.

Let me know how you get on with this, however, with Component Works being officially not supported in Windows 7 I am limited in the amount of support I can offer you. I can't guarantee that this will work.

Best Regards,
