Automation Open ?! What's this ? / Methods & Properties not there !

[Matthieu Gaillet]

Hello,

I'm wondering what's the use of the "automation open" ?
I'm currently using ActiveX, in order to display a chart coming from the
MSGRAPH 8.0 ActiveX. It seems to work properly, without using these
automation open. I siply put a container and use the reference given by this
container to use the properties & methods of this object.
Some examples found on the site do use this automation open, other do not !?

Other problem : Using the MSGraph Activex, I encounter problems with the
properties & methods : some are there, some are not, following the help file
given with this activex. I mean that the properties & methods usable in
labview are not the same of the which should be available
following the doc
of the activex. I'm currently using lv 5.0.

Last question : are there any NI guys there ? Simply asking.

Oups... about the Properties & methods there or not there, I made a mistake.
All is good, sorry.

PS/ But the other question is still not clear to me !

Automation Open is used to connect to servers, and isn't needed for embedded
controls because they are by definition open whenever the panel is loaded.
The most common use is to Open a connection to an external EXE like Excel.

I'm not answering from NI, but I do work there. Lots of ot
her NI employees
read the newsgroup. This isn't a technical support list though, so don't
expect an engineer to jump in to answer each question.
