Is there a 64 bit version of the cw3dgrph control yet?

[jdwyer3]

I have an application that I am migrating from a 32-bit platform to a 64-bit platform.  An integral part of my application is the 3D Graph control (cw3dgrph.ocx).  From what I can tell, the 3d graph control in Measurement Studio only ships in a  32-bit version.  Is there a 64-bit version available, or are there any plans to make one available?

Hello jdwyer,

The 3D Graph Control(cw3dgrph.ocx) is an activex/COM control and calls into a 32 bit assembly. It will still work on a 64 bit system and can be built into a 64 bit application. Hope this helps you out.

Best Regards,

Hi jdwyer,

I did a little more research and realized my first post was not correct.  If you try to build the cw3dgrph.ocx control into a 64 bit application and run it a COM exception will be thrown stating that the class is not registered because the control is only 32 bit and has only been registered in the 32 bit location. This makes the control completely unusable by a 64 bit application. Right now we do not have plans to make a 64 bit version available. You can make a product suggestion if you desire this functionality. Sorry for the incorrect answer and have a great day!

Best Regards,

Hi Dimitri,

I have made a little research about it and I have found this Knowledge Base article:

 How Does NI Security Update 67L8L0QW for cw3dgrph.ocx Affect Me? 

and there is a note that states that the patch also includes a replacement for the NI component cw3dgrph.ocx, which contains the 3D Graph ActiveX control.
 

Hope that you can find the information helpful!

Hi, Dimitri

Unfortunately, NI does not plan to create a 64-bit version of cw3dgrph. If NI implements a new 3D graphing control for Measurement Studio, it will be part of the set of WPF controls. Providing 3D graphing in WPF is on our roadmap, but we do not have a concrete timeline for when it will become available.

Consequently, until we are able to provide a WPF 3D graph, our recommendation for customers who require 64-bit 3D graphs is to evaluate controls offered by other vendors. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Warm regards,
