I like to be able to control an external application (Specifically ICQ)

[Michael Khachiki]

I like to control ICQ, a web based massaging application. (Http://www.ICQ.com). My knowledge of ACTIVE X is very limited so if some one can recommend a web page that explains ACTIVE X at a very beginner�s level I will appreciate it. Also if some one could mention what sort of information I need from ICQ to enable me to do that it will be very helpful.

Greetings!

Indeed, ICQ does have activex variables available to Labview. Open up a Labview front panel Activex Container, right click on there and insert an object...ICQ has three listed. This should give you a start.
