Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
AppBuilder

Creating an ActiveX object instance

Although an ActiveX object is very different, internally, to a 4GL object or SmartObject, the basic process of selecting and placing an OCX object is similar to the process for a native Progress object.

To select and place an OCX object:

Click on the OCX tool icon in the Objects Palette:



The dialog box that appears lists all ActiveX controls found within your development system. AppBuilder does not know whether the controls it finds are licensed. Before using an OCX object, verify you have a license:



Select the object you wish to use, and choose OK. Move your mouse cursor over a bare spot in your workspace and click to place the instance.
Configure and size the object.
