application builder (activate activex)

[STatzel]

Hello together,

you know that a VI can be compiled into an EXE-File with the Labview Application Builder.
Did somebody recognize the possibility to activate the ActiveX server within this EXE and made use of it?

In version 7.1, select Tools>Build Application or Shared Library (DLL), then under the Application Settings tab click Enable Active X Server.

Under version 8.0, in the My Computer, Build Specification, under the Advanced tab click Enable Active X Server.
