Lab 11-4: Using an ActiveX Control
This lab shows how to use an ActiveX Control within VEE.
You can incorporate ActiveX Controls from other
applications into VEE programs. In this case, you will
incorporate a ProgressBar control and use a loop to show
the progress bar 0% to 100% complete. The same general
principles apply to other ActiveX Controls.
1 Click Device ⇒ ActiveX Control References... and select
Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0. Click OK.
2 Click Device ⇒ ActiveX Controls ⇒ ProgressBar. Size the
ProgressBar object to be larger. Open its Object Menu and
notice that the object name is ProgressBar. VEE has
automatically created a declared variable that refers to
the ActiveX control object. You can use the name
ProgressBar in Formula expressions, just like any other
variable or data input.
