Need some help with a .NET treemap control

[smercurio_fc]

Unfortunately, I'm not too suprised. LabVIEW still has a number of interfacing issues with .NET. I don't think Microsoft had LabVIEW in mind when they designed .NET. When I wrote the VI I linked it to the .NET assemly assuming it was residing in the same folder as the VI. In fact, I saved the VI in the same directoy as the assembly.

OK

It didn't work right away,  in my case i had to load another control into the .NET container then go back and change the control

to the one i wanted then I was able to get the run arrow......bug,,,, project issue....  hmmm.

The wierd part is that it worked the day before and I even had opened and close the file multiple times,  came back to work and ran the file and it wouldn't work,  broken arrow.  as a side note I should also mention that my PC was not shut down and restarted during this period.

Thanks

Not sure what to tell you. I just reopened the example from disk and it ran just fine. But then, I didn't try to reinstall the control.

Hello

Is there any chance you could do a small example with another control I have?

It's a dxf drawing activeX control.

What is the control? Is your question specific to the control or to how to use ActiveX in LabVIEW?

[Tim_C.]

The question is geared towards the control.  I always seem to have a tough time getting started with the controls but once I see an example I manage to get the functionality I need.

OK, but you still haven't told me what the control is, or posted it, or provided a link to it where it can be found.

[Tim_C.]

It is a drawing control to draw dxf files (cad drawing).

But I need to send it to you off line as it is commercial item.

Is that ok?

-Tim C.

[smercurio_fc]

Probably not, though not insfoar as I am concerned. If the component is company proprietary then sending it to me via email isn't going to make it any less proprietary. If it was developed within your company then you should be able to get help from the one who created it on how to use it.

[Tim_C.]

The control is a commercial control I myself purchased.    If I can find a demo of the control is that ok to send?
