activex control and tab control

[scientist]

I am using a two page tab control. I place an activex control on one page. the activex renerates images. When I run the vi, the activex control appears on both pages. I only want the control to show on one page. Can anyone help me? The control correctly shows on one page when the vi is NOT running.

I have seen this problem in the past. What version are you using? I know it was fixed in version 7 and I think it was in version 6.1, but I am not sure.

I am using version 6.1

[eh]

I don't have 6.1 in front of me now. I came up with a workaround for my application when I encounted this problem. I created an attribute node for the container and the tab control. Whenever the tab control was not on the page with the control, I made the container invisible. This then hid the activeX control.

Another document that talks about how to solve this problem (although it shouldn't happen in LabVIEW 6.1, only earlier versions):

Hope this helps.
