Hello everyone

I'm trying to display an image from a Cognex Camera on an X2 Extreme 12 without any luck.

I've seen all kinds of methods, but none seem to work:

Method 1: Buy and install Cognex VisionView CE.
This doesn't work with the current CE Version on the X2 Extreme

Method 2: Install the InSight Display Control and use that custom object
This doesn't work with the current CE Version on the X2 Extreme

Method 3: Use CognexUserControl.dll
From here: http://ftc.beijer.se/files/C125728B003A ... ontrol.pdf
I can't find this DLL anywhere, and I have to assume I'd run into the same issue as Methods 1 and 2 with this HMI.

Method 4: Use a PictureBox and Update the Image property.
A user on this forum (JohnCZ) posted on this a while ago using a T15B. However, the .Image property is not available on the Picture object and the project he uploaded when it converts tells you that the PictureBox is not a supported object anymore and it removes it.

I seem to run into brick walls every where I turn. I don't mind writing a script that will look at a timer and update the picture from an FTP location if that's what we have to do (it's not ideal, but it would work). But since I can't seem to get to the .Image object to be able to change it, I'm kind of stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
