When you put a check next to a Type Library in the ActiveX
Automation References box, the library objects become
available for use in a VEE program. For example, in Figure
146, Microsoft Excel 9.0 is checked.
Figure 146 The ActiveX Automation Reference Box
Creating and Using ActiveX Programs with Agilent VEE
VEE includes a data type called Object for ActiveX programs. A
VEE object with the data type specified as Object is a pointer to
something or some data held by the Automation Server. For
example, an Object could point to a worksheet inside MS Excel,
or to a cell inside that worksheet. (Technically, an Object is a
pointer to an IDispatch interface returned by MS Excel or the
Server.)
