Invoke Node (ActiveX) Details

ActiveX does not support 64-bit integer data types. If you wire 64-bit integer data to a variant parameter of an ActiveX Invoke Node, LabVIEW converts the data to a double-precision, floating-point number. If you right-click the Invoke Node and select Select Class»ActiveX»Browse from the shortcut menu, LabVIEW displays the Select Object From Type Library dialog box.

On the front panel or block diagram, right-click an ActiveX object, select Create»Invoke Node, and select a method from the shortcut menu to invoke a method for the object. You also can invoke ActiveX-specific methods for an ActiveX object. On the block diagram, right-click an ActiveX object, select Create»Invoke Node, and select an ActiveX-specific method from the shortcut menu.
