  1. I posted a similar note on the NI boards and haven't gotten a response yet, so I figured I might try here. I would like to use ActiveX to control or send data to Microsfot OneNote. I've spent time looking over the options available, researching, and trying to figure it out, but haven't had much, if any success yet. I've recently been using ActiveX to work with Excel (and Word to a much lesser degree). I thought the setup might be similar. In the end, I'd like to add data (text, pictures, tables, etc) to a new or existing OneNote file. While I know this isn't an "easy" task, I think it should be easier than what it seems to me so far. I was hoping either some here might have tried such a thing or has a greater knowledge of Office/ActiveX that could point me in the right direct, perhaps with an example or something of that nature. I'm using LV 7.0, Windows XP, and Office 2007.

    Thanks for the picture xseadog. I'll have to check that out and look more into it. I'm sure I'll have more questions. Thanks again...

    GPS

    Thanks for replying Jack. I'm not sure I know what you mean by NI-MAX. The name sounds and looks familiar to me, but I'm not sure about it. Where would I find this out and how to go about checking on what you asked. I've only been using LV for a few months, and most of that has been with modifying existing vi's. I have posted a message on NI's forum, maybe someone there can help me out. I see they have a new vi for 7.1 that looks like it would do more than enough of what I need, it's for the serial port though and for 7.1. It be nice if they or someone would fix a version of this for a USB port and for 7.0. Like I said, I have the SDK from Garmin, if that would help with anything, although I wouldn't be able to do much with it. I find it hard to believe that I'm the only person out there looking for a USB GPS vi, I guess perhaps since the USB GPS is new, I must be! As for right now, we just plan to run our Garmin software and the vi separate from each, side by side. This is fine, but we'd still like to work in the GPS features to the vi if possible. Again, thanks for your reply!

    GPS

    I'm trying to figure how to either gain control and/or read a Garmin GPS unit via the USB port. for right now i'd just like to display the coordinates on the front panel. The model is a Garmin USB GPS 18. I'm still relatively new to LV so i'm not sure how to go about this. I found an old vi for the Garmin 45 that uses the serial port. I tried hooking up another GPS I have to this via the serial port, but it didn't seem to work. I know Garmin has a SDK kit and info the USB but I'm not familiar with any of those languages. I haven't had much luck on NI's website looking for some type of help either. I can post any of the vi's or USB SDK info if someone would need them. Perhaps someone could make a vi out of the C code? I'm using LV 7 Express. Thanks for any help or advice...
