Hellow,i want to use ActiveX control in Labview 7.0,but i can not find it on the control panel,so how can i add it? thanks!

From the front panel diagram, open the controls pallette, select Containers. The active-x is the third one on the right. Drop the container on the front panel, and right click it. Select Insert Active-x object. From the menu that appears, select the active-x control and click OK.
The active-x control that you selected will be inserted into the container, and a reference terminal will be placed on the block diagram.
This will work for any active-x control registered on your computer.

Hope this helps,

Dave

Thanks! I would like to insert the following object,"Matlab Application（Version6.5）Type Library Version1".but why i can not find it when right-click the activex Containers? should i need to install it?

If you do not see it in the list of Active-x controls, then the control is not registered in the computer. I assume that you have it installed on the machine. I don't have Matlab, and am not familiar with it, but if it is like all other Widows programs, it should register its controls when it is installed. Just in case it hasn't, if you know the exact name and directory path of the Active-x control,you can manually register it yourself from the DOS command line.
The syntax is c:\regsvr32 (full path to your active-x control) and enter. You will recieve a short message box telling you that you either succeded, or that it was already installed.

Try it, good luck
