When will ActiveX/COM Teststand API be deprecated?

[Konan__]

ActiveX is a deprecated software framework created by Microsoft in 1996.

Teststand API is built on top of it.

When will NI delete this obsolete trash tech?

thanks

TestStand has a gRPC API (see github). You could use this along with .NET. Do check this out.

We are also currently working on creating web based UI controls as an alternative for ActiveX UI controls.

Is there any update on the web-based UI controls or when will gRPC API be officially released as of September 2025?

[HarshaBhushan]

We are targeting releasing web based controls around December 2025 on github.

gRPC API is mostly feature complete, we don't expect to make anymore breaking changes. We will work towards updating the terminology from Early access to release (I don't have a timeline yet. Will keep you posted).
