Anyone worked with activex controls within labview

[Ewersy]

I am working on an new project and the instrument has an activex/Dcom control. Any ideas on how to work with this in my laview (8) environment?

You could start by looking at the examples that come with LabVIEW. Just do a search for ActiveX.

You say this is an instrument. Is it an IVI-COM driver?

Sounds like you are having a control which can be embedded.

You can create an empty ActiveX container on the front panel (Container palette). Rightclick it and select "Insert ActiveX Object" and browse for your control. If you did not register it, you will have to switch to "Create Object From File" and browse for the ocx/dll-file.

The rest is standard ActiveX interfacing using property/invoke nodes.

hope this helps,
