Connected camera with ActiveX

[Labqu]

Hi! 😉

I can't use IMAQdx to get an image from camera, but I have a *ocx file.

Quote from Tutorial:

To have DNVideoX showing video preview, just set Connected and Preview properties to True

I created VI, but it does not work (attachment!).

Anybody has some sugestion ?

Hi Labqu,

Thanks for posting your problem. First question for you is did you register your .ocx file? You can do that by following these instructions

Other thing to ask is if you are opening reference on the propper way. You can use 'Automation Open' function to open reference only to objects which can be approached externally. If object you want to approach is not externall object, than you should use 'Automation Open' function to open reference to propper external object, and than use invoke nodes in order to open reference to the object you want.
