Hello,

I’ve seen that with CVB 15, Cvgenapigridctrl has been removed.

This is a very powefull tool to diagnose issues, check camera configurations, acq. statistics and is integrated in our software. This removal is not really a good news.

Do you have any replacement solution?

Thanks in advance.

Mikael.

Hi @Mikael ,

I understand that this is not good news for you. Besides the Display control, the GenAPI Grid control is the most used control of the ActiveX controls we had. Sadly, this is a very outdated technology. Therefore, the decision was made to remove the ActiveX controls which includes the GenAPI Grid control.

We do not have a direct replacement which works with all of our supported programming languages. What we already have is a Qt based Grid which can be used with C++.

We would be happy to assist you further and get information about your requirements. Therefore, please get in touch with your local support contacts or directly with [de.support@stemmer-imaging.com](mailto:de.support@stemmer-imaging.com) and refer to this forum post. Then we can discuss details together with our development team.

Regards

Sebastian
