Running custom Operator Interface with helping of ActiveX from standard Operator Interface???

[Yuri_IL]

Hi,

1.  I do not want to create 'executable' version of my custom Operator Interface (e.g. TestExec.exe).

2.  I want to 'run' my custom Operator Interface in the way of loading it from ActiveX that starts from

     standard Operator Interface.

     I created the sequence that includes ActiveX -> LabVIEW based that calls to OI top Level vi.vi

     and OI top Level vi.vi starts my custom Operator Interface.

3. But during runnig it i got strange error (#97), do not know what to do with it.

Please if someone had that proble, give me the possible directions/solutions...

The error is attached!

Thank you to all!

Yuri,

I'm not quite sure how to help with this issue, because I don't think I've got enough information yet.

I understand that you are trying to start your OI programatically, but I'm a little unclear exactly where it is being started.  Are you calling your OI directly from LabVIEW with an ActiveX refnum?  Or do you have an ActiveX step within a TestStand sequence that is opening your OI?

Does your OI run OK when you open it in LabVIEW and just click the run button?

If you could post your code where you are calling your OI (either your .seq file, or your VI) it would be helpful trying to debug this issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

The LabVIEW OI runs fine if you launch it as a step from a teststand sequence.

You can either use the VI  'OperatorInterfaces\User\Full-Featured\LabVIEW\TestExec.llb\Full OI - Top-Level VI.vi' or

OperatorInterfaces\User\Full-Featured\LabVIEW\TestExec.llb\Full OI - Launcher.vi

I'm using TS3.5 and LabVIEW 8.0
