Control could not be found ActiveX

[ForrestBarnes]

Hi,

Sorry about the basic nature of this question, but I am unable to find the ActiveX control for WinDaq anywhere in LabVIEW. I have downloaded the ActiveX Control Library from http://www.dataq.com/products/dataq-active-x/ , but when I try to add the WinDaq control to an Active X container in LabVIEW, it does not appear on the drop-down menu (see attached photo.)

Is there anything else I need to do to be able to access WinDaq from LabVIEW using ActiveX controls? Please note that I have already reparied the RunTime engine, and I know that the code works because I am in the process of transfering it from a working computer to a new computer. My issue is that I can not find the right ActiveX control on my neew computer.

I am using LabVIEW 2013.

Thanks for your help,
Andrew Nelson

This sounds like something you should be asking Dataq.

Hi Mike,

I have asked Dataq, but have gotten nothing useful so far. Do you know how LabVIEW searches for and identifiies ActiveX libraries?

Thanks,

Andrew

Are you sure that the Active X container control is what you need to use?

Try the Automation Refnum control instead, once on the front panel, right click on it and choose "Select ActiveX Class..." to browse fo your installed item from that list.

FWIW, don't use ActiveX if it can be avoided....
