Problem with ActiveX and Intouch

[jrespinozah]

Hi everyone!

I'm currently creating a window in Wonderware InTouch (WindowMaker) and I'm trying to implement a common dialog control.
I select the wizard/activeX installation in the activeX control tab and install the microsoft common dialog control version 6.0.
After that I go to the wizard/ActiveX menu and select the common dialog from the activeX controls. When I place it on the window all I get is an empty rectangle. When I click on it I see only a properties tag but no event tag.
When I try to insert it into a script, I can see the dialog I just placed ("CommonDialog1" for example) but no methods to select.
If I type something like:
#CommonDialog1.ShowOpen();
I get an error: "Invalid reference or unknown ocx"

I have a comdlg.dll, comdlg32.dll and comdlg32.ocx in the system32 folder. I have also registered the comdlg32.ocx with regsvr32.exe but nothing worked.

anyone know how to fix this?

thanxs!

Check out "Tech Support Script Function Library" from Wonderware support. This library contains many useful functions, like FileSelect() that corresponds with ShowOpen.

Hello,

You could try installing Visual studio or creating a ActiveX 'wrapper' for the control.

Good luck
