how to open GSView using ActiveX

[krispiekream]

Hi,

I implemented an auto print vi with microsoft excel and activeX.

Can someone teach me or guide me on how to open GsView files with extension ".ps"?

I want to do the same thing as the Print_File.vi.

I want to open the GsView file and auto print to the printer.

Can someone please help me.

thank you

Hi krispiekream,

I suppose you have posted your question in the wrong forum: this board is dedicated to LabWindows/CVI, while your question refers to LabVIEW; you should report it in the appropriate board.

Given this, if you are able to open the .ps file by double-clicking on it, the system is automatically configured to load the appropriate reader for the document (in your case gsview). In this case, in CVI we would use OpenDocumentInDefaultViewer () command to automatically open the file in the appropriate application; I remember to have used in LV a similar command to obtain the same effect, but I don't remember the exact VI name: maybe you can dig into your libraries and look for it.
