SFC ActiveX Control

The SFC ActiveX control (InBatchSFC.ocx) provides a visual representation of a running batch. You can use this control within any application that supports ActiveX controls (such as Visual Basic.NET, C++, and C#).

Note: Batch ActiveX controls are 32-bit components and are therefore not supported for loading or designing in Visual Studio 2022 or later. Visual Studio 2022 runs as a 64-bit IDE, and Microsoft no longer supports loading 32-bit ActiveX controls at design time. As a result, Batch ActiveX controls cannot be added to Visual Studio 2022 projects, regardless of the .NET Framework version used.

This limitation does not apply to Visual Studio 2019, which supports 32-bit ActiveX controls.

To access to the SFC ActiveX control, you must install the appropriate Batch Client software and enable any appropriate licensing.

Refer to the appropriate COM-based environment documentation for specific details on installing ActiveX controls within that environment.
