Hi,
I would like to embed the display of a remote machine in the front panel of my application. I thought the best way (at least one way) of doing this is embedding a Remote Desktop Session in the VI. Can this be done using ActiveX? If anyone can share an example or some advise is appreciated.
Thanks

I've never done it before but it looks possible. Here are a couple pages that might help.

It looks like the ActiveX components are a seperate download that needs to be installed, then you should be able to make an ActiveX control. There are several shipped examples on ActiveX in LabVIEW, I think they use Excel and Internet Explorer.

Thank you very much. I referred to this and managed to get this working. Now I am wondering whether I can embed the remote screen in my front panel. Please let me know if you have any advise and I will post if I have any updates.
Thanks again.
