FYI: AXIS Cam locking IV (fix)

[Sergio D]

FYI

I know many of you use AXIS IP cams and integrate them into IV. I had been struggling with the AXIS webcam HTML page locking up IV when the WebWidget was placed in a pop-up. With our initial review, it seemed that the AXIS activex wasn't happy with mouse movements when placed in a modal window for some reason. In one of the vAutomation release, mouse movement events were disabled in the web widget. This helped with most of the errors but IV would still lock-up in certain installs.

The fix at least that I found is not to use the default activex msi that gets downloaded from the cam itself. It might be a pretty old version. I downloaded the most recent version from the Axis website and now things seem to be working the way they should.

Just posting this info to hopefully save others some headaches.
