Hello,
is there anyone know how to insert a picture from a front panel indicator into a excel sheet, I tried Addpicture (ActiveX) method, but it needs the filename of the picture, how can I get this filename of this indicator.
thanks a lot

Patience... patience...
What kind of indicator? Is this a graph indicator, or a numeric indicator? I'm not familiar with the AddPicture method, but if it's looking for a filename then you need to save the image to disk. For a graph indicator you can get the graph image using an Invoke node and then use the picture functions to save the image to disk.

Please don't upload bitmaps by changing the extension. Changing the extension of a file does not change the file type. Your bitmap saved as a PNG goes from 906KB to 19KB. That's 4700% smaller! Even MS Paint will allow you to save as PNG. Sorry for the rant, but that's a pet peeve around here. Nobody is picking on you.
As for your question: The documentation for that method indicates it requires a filename. That's how the method works, so you have to save the image to disk.
