Event structure does not capture mouse click event on toolbar activeX control

[frogfrog]

I am unable to click the toolbar on front panel when the vi is running.

Thanks.

OK.... I was responding to dennex.

As for your issue, you still need to post the missing VIs so we can actually try to run your code....

[frogfrog]

I know you were responsing to dennex.  I see from his description that my problem is exactly the same as his.

And same code runs well on all other computers except one.  There must something missed, but I don't know what.

Here is a test code.

Thanks a lot for help.

Hi,

sorry for the confusion. I'm actually frogfrog's collegue.

We're just trying out different configurations to narrow down the problem. Here are the things we've tried so far:

- reinstalling the whole National Instruments package

- adding some activeX controls into a blank VI. It is interesting that the ActiveX controls associated with .NET are functioning, but the ones that are associated with COM are not and just gives out a blank gray or white box that looks significantly different than the way the component is supposed to look like.

thanks for any help that can be provided!

Here s an updated test vi and a screencapture of how it looks like on my machine. it uses the same extra files as frogfrog has posted.

Hello!

update on the situation is that when we reset the LabView settings to the factory defaults, the problem is solved.

That's done by renaming LabView.ini to something else, then LabView will just load the factory defaults.

I would think it has to do with the two first lines because I don't see them in the old ini file.
