activex controls disappeared

[bkinard@kinardcontrolsyst]

I created a program for a water plant and some of the ActiveX controls I created have disappeared. I can go into edit mode and select them but they are not visible. This is using Lookout 6.2 and Windows XP. I included a pdf attachment to show where each of the controls was located. Some have disappeared and some have not. When I try to modify them using properties, the properties window comes up but it is blank.

No idea where to start on this. The screen shot below shows the word "Document" where it should show "CWButton"

What if you create a second display of a problem ActiveX control?

You can try to re-register the ActiveX object.

1. Start->Run, input cmd.

2. Go to Windows\system32 folder. Input

regsvr32 -u cwui.ocx

regsvr32 cwui.ocx

And then the CW control will be re-registered. Restart the lookout process.

I don't know what's wrong. If I unregister the cwui.ocx, all the CW controls will have red X on it. But your issue is not like the same.

I tried unregistering the control and registering it again with no success. I finally had to recreate all of the buttons and delete the problematic buttons. The process locked up a few times during the procedure but I finally got them all back working again. One other thing I have noticed is Lookout crashing when I try to reopen the process. It was doing that before I recreated the controls and after as well. If I shut Lookout down completly and open the process, I dont have a crash problem.

Only time will tell if I have an issue with the new ActiveX buttons.

Now Im having an alternater problem but I have run into that before.

Does the Lookout crash everytime you open the process now?

The Alternater has a bug. Take care of its time parameters. For example, you should use 1:00 instead of 00:60.

Got the same problem. My ActiveX controls dissappeared again. Even reinstalled lookout and still having the same issue.
