The Callable VEE ActiveX Automation Server
In VEE on Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP, you can integrate VEE objects into other
commercial and proprietary test systems written in standard
languages, such as MS Visual Basic or C. The Callable VEE
ActiveX Automation Server encapsulates VEE UserFunctions
for integration into Automation applications, such as MS Excel
and MS Visual Basic. The Callable VEE ActiveX Automation
Server implements an automation interface which is language
independent. It may be used by any application or language that
can support calling an Automation Server.
The Callable VEE ActiveX Automation Server communicates
with its clients through properties and methods. The
environment from which you are calling the Callable VEE
ActiveX Automation Server, such as Visual Basic or C,
determines how you call it. The Callable VEE ActiveX
Automation Server has extensive online Help available within
the environment from which you are calling it. For more
information, refer to the online Help in VEE, the VEE Pro
Advanced Techniques manual, and the examples shipped with
VEE.
NOTE
VEE can use ActiveX Automation and Controls to control other
applications from VEE. The Callable VEE ActiveX Automation Server
allows other applications like MS Visual Basic to control VEE.
NOTE
The Callable VEE ActiveX Automation Server replaces the Callable VEE
ActiveX Control that was shipped with VEE version 5.0.
