NIdaq MX active x control in VISUAL C++ 6.0 /2005

[lachear]

Hi,

Ni DAQ MX active x controls exist in VB.
In VISUAL C++ all we have is UI active x Control.Is there any way to embed NI DAQ Active x controls in Visual C++
Is there examples (exept the ANSI C examples) for visual c++.

Thank you

Hi lachear,

Thanks for posting on the forums!  Here are a couple things to note:

• The DAQmx driver includes a type library which allows you to use DAQmx in text based programming languages such as Visual Basic and C++. 
• The Traditional DAQ driver provides ActiveX controls to perform data acquisition using Traditional DAQ. 

Also, Visual Studio 6.0 and 2005 are drastically different programming environments.  Programming data acquisition will differ depending on what environment you are working in.  Please refer to the following links for more information.

The ANSI C examples are written using Visual Studio C++ 6.0, but Visual Studio.NET will automatically update the project to a Visual Studio .NET solution for you (if you are using either 2003 or 2005).  Other examples can be found in the National Instruments Developer Zone on-line (see link below).
