I used an invoke node and it worked under winNT but not under linux. Are invoke nodes only for windows?

[A. Brucks]

I configured the invoke node to change the VI icon to display to different bitmaps (depending on a condition). The method worked in windows system. But I like to use that feature under linux. I suppose its an activex problem because linux doesn't know activex. What do I have to do?

Brucks, if you were using ActiveX and invoke node under windows, certainly that will NOT work under linux. You need to find out if there is some library file (*.so) file that you could call under linux to accomplish the same thing.
Your goal should be to find counterpart of what you were doing with activeX under windows.

This shouldn't have anything to do with ActiveX as long as the invoke
node is talking to LV rather than an ActiveX server. Be sure to check
the error I/O to see exactly what the error is. Another common problem
is that the VI is not in the correct state to make the modification.
