Creating an ActiveX display with Every Sample in C#

[Mike]

I am very much interested in reviewing the programming example for
Creating an ActiveX display with Every Sample in C#. However, the
link on the website does not appear to be functional. It does have a
different path than the other examples. If possible, I would like to
access this example program.

Thanks,
Mike

I'll update you when it's resolved.

Hi,

I have successfully implement an ActiveX display in C# using the
SampleEveryDataPointDisplayCSharp as my example. Now I am trying to
expand that to handle multiple parameters read in from an external
setup file. The total number of parameters can exceed 500 the drag/
drop method is not practical. I am able to read all the parameters
and create all of the parameters using the CreateParameter method. I
discard any parameter names not found in the config. Where I am
running into trouble is trying to set the CurrentTime
(mParameter.CurrentTime=parentContainerTime). Not all of the
parameters have data. To account for that I am checking for
mParameter.DataStatus==IadsDataStatusType.iadsStatusOK. However,
several parameters DataStatus = iadsStatusOk, but they do not have
data. I dropped them on a strip chart and they show 000:00:00.000 No
Data as the value. Dropping a derived of GetDataStatus(ParmN)
returns a value of 0. When my ActiveX display hits these parameters,
it stops processing. Is there another field or status that I can
check to indicate these types of No Data parameters so I can just
ignore them?


Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I use the StartTime function of the IParameter to see if the parameter
has a valid start time. The IADS guys may have a better way though.

Mike,
Our developer will take a look at this later today to give a more definitive
answer, but I would initially also suggest that you do as Darrell suggests
and check the parameter for a valid start time before trying to initialize
it.

Mike,

Actually, that sounds like a bug in our software... You might have to send
us those strange data files so we can investigate (if possible). DataStatus
shouldn't return 0.

My question for you is: how does it make your display "stop processing". I
think perhaps the CurrentTime function is throwing a error and maybe you
just have to catch it and skip processing? Did you try/catch?

Also, try Greg's technique. Check the "start time" and see if it's < 0,
Jim

Thanks all for your responses!

I think I have a better understanding of what is going on.

Using the StartTime was the key!

Because I am running/debugging in Post Test (local mode), the
parameter StartTime was > 0, but it was still invalid because it was
greater than the CurrentTime!

As far as the "stop processing" problem, I am using try/catch.
However, I am such a clever programmer, in my catch response I
basically created an infinite loop!

Thanks again everybody,
Mike
