HTML Edit Control?

[SteveChandler]

Is there an HTML control available for LabVIEW? Something like the Tiny MCE editor I am using to post this?

there is an HTML section it is under Report Generation-->HTML Reports Only

 Append User Formatted HTML To Report.vi allowsyou to have your own HTML code to your program.

LabVIEW itself does not have such a control. The one you refered to, however, seems to be a .NET control, so all you need to do is drop a .NET container on the front panel and load that control into it and then use that. If that doesn't work, I'm assuming there are other ActiveX or .NET controls you can use.

If you're not used to working with .NET in LV, brace yourself. It's not bad, but the two models don't really mesh very well together and the resulting code is not the most beatiful.

Thanks! I found something that works. Now I have a new problem. I am trying to trigger an event when the DHTML Active-X control value changes. The event does not happen. I have included an attachment showing the code. The only other event is the timeout.

That won't work - the LabVIEW event structure does not handle ActiveX events. To handle ActiveX events you need to register a callback VI. There are a couple of examples that ship with LabVIEW that show you how to handle ActiveX events.

Why for the love of God do I have a wait in my event loop!

I am obviously board and going through some of my first posts. Sheesh.
