From VB6 goto the "Project" menu and select "Components" then check the HALi.ocx. this will add the OCX to your tool bar. Then you double click the HALi.ocx and it should place it on your form. You can also drag and drop it on your form.

Jim... I am actually using Visual Studio .NET 2005. It is different enough that the VB6 method isn't working.

Cynthia,

Make sure you are calling the init function.

The following code works after a macro or scene is executed. Sorry about all the extra blanks lines... couldn't get this code to paste cleanly.

Tim


PublicClass Form1

PrivateSub Form1_Load(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HandlesMe.Load

AxHALi1.Init()

EndSub

PrivateSub AxHALi1_MacroExecuted(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As AxHALiContol.__HALi_MacroExecutedEvent) Handles AxHALi1.MacroExecuted

MsgBox(e.sMacroName)

EndSub


PrivateSub AxHALi1_SceneExecuted(ByVal sender AsObject, ByVal e As AxHALiContol.__HALi_SceneExecutedEvent) Handles AxHALi1.SceneExecuted

MsgBox(e.sSceneName)

EndSub

EndClass

[Cynthia]

Yes, I am calling the Init function.

Cynthia,

So if you start a project with just the code I have below in this thread, do you see the msgbox appear when you execute a macro or scene in HAL?

If not, please post what versions of HAL, HALcom and HALi you are using.

Thank you,

Tim

Tim, I am using VB under Visual Studio .NET 2005, and cannot use the code sample you provided. My main issue is not knowing how to add the HALi control to a project that doesn't have it (under VB .NET 2005). I have HAL 2000 revision 4.0.26 with HALi.ocx dated 9/7/2008 and HALCOM.exe 7/17/2008.

Do a google search or look at the help file for "Adding Components" then browse to the HALi.ocx in the HAL folder.

[TimShriver]

Cynthia,

Start by click File, New, Project and select Visual Basic, Windows, Windows Application.

Next click View, ToolBox.

Next open Windows Explorer and navigate to the HAL directory. Drag and drop the HALi.ocx onto the Toolbox pane of Visual Studio 2005.

Finally, select the HALiControl.HALi and drag it to your Form.

Tim

Thank you Tim and Jim! I am able to get a new small program working.

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
AxHALi1.Init()
End Sub

Private Sub AxHALi1_MacroExecuted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxHALiContol.__HALi_MacroExecutedEvent) Handles AxHALi1.MacroExecuted
MsgBox(e.sMacroName)
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Closed(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closed
'Release the devices
AxHALi1.UnInit()
End Sub
End Class

Now I need to work on the larger one.
Cynthia
