Many thanks for the link.

Had to re-save the UIR under CVI V6.0, but then worked great.

thanks

Hi Steve!
   For playing videos, you can use ActiveX controls; you can use Windows Media Player ActiveX, but it doesn't perform very good with some AVI clips...
  
   I suggest you to give a look at VIDEO LAN organization, which provides a free media player, with provides activeX control!

   Anyway, VLC is a good player, it's free and it doesn't ask you all the time to register, and stuffs like that, like some real does.....

   Let me know how you managed!!!!

PS.: be careful installing VLC, you have to select for installing ActiveX control.

don't we need a fp file to activeX control the VLC player? If yes, where can we get it; or how to generate it?

[~]

Target .fp File—The pathname of the .fp file into which LabWindows/CVI generates the instrument function panels. The wizard creates source (.c) and header (.h) files in the same directory and with the same base filename as the .fp file. You can select either a new file or an existing file. If you select an existing file, the wizard overwrites the contents of the .fp, source (.c), and header (.h) files.

The CVI Active X  Controller Wizard grenates the .fp files for my projects, so i think we need it ! However, i also not understand how it works !
Can anybody explain it ?

Thanks

P/s:U can type ActiveX Controller Wizard in the Help file to get more info.
