(LabView)
I am trying to build a simple standalone ActiveX
Server to use in VB and Excel 9x. It will be
ported to a Win95 computer that knows nothing
about LabView. Is there any clear
documentation/examples to walk me through the
process, or at least answer the following
questions?
What can I expect in the development registry?
What goes in the client machine registry?
How would I access the control from VB?
How would I access the control from Excel?
How can I keep the development registry clean?
Thanks
Dave

I have built one program which worked as an ActiveX (Ax from now on) server.
Did not check what it did with registry (just build a sample proggy and
check it out yourself), but it exposed the same properties, methods, events
as labview. You would use it as every other Ax server, probably by opening
a reference to it in VB like you would for Excel.
I remember that if I would rebuild executable bunch of times, then after the
first build *.tbl file would not be recreated (this is under LV501). That
caused problems because I had deleted the old one. *.tbl file lists
properties, etc. exposed by the Ax server.
There are couple of examples of VB talking to Labview using Ax. They are on
NI website in downloads section. I am pretty sure that you could use those
to make VB to ta
lk with your app.
I think that executable registers itself after its first execution, but do
not know for sure.
