activex control not listed

[ifitzgerald]

Hi,

I am using LabView 6.1.  I am trying to implement an ActiveX control that I know is registered (I ran regsvr32 to register it), but it isn't listed when I try to insert it into an ActiveX container.  It is listed in the available components in Visual Basic 6.0, though.

Specifically, the control is csXGraph, which allows for creating a variety of graphs.

Why isn't it listed?  How can I fix it?

Thanks!
Ian

I downloaded the control and tested it in LabVIEW 8.2, and it shows up. It's probably a LabVIEW 6 thing. Back then the support for ActiveX was flaky, at best. Did you restart LabVIEW? Can you access it using an automation refnum?

Also, what kind of graph are you trying to create that you need this ActiveX control, as opposed to just using the graph indicators that come with LabVIEW?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I was afraid you were going to say it was a LabView 6 thing.  I also have LabView 7 Express installed, and it doesn't show up there, either.

I'm looking for a simple way to create a bar graph with text labels on the x-axis.  In fact, someone posted a question asking how to do exactly what I'm looking for this morning in this thread.

I'm open to any advice you may have.

Thanks,
Ian
