AVEVA Batch Management ActiveX Control

The AVEVA Batch Management ActiveX control (OcxBatch.ocx) provides an interface that you can use to schedule, monitor, and control batches. You can use this control within any application that supports ActiveX controls (such as Visual Basic.NET, C++, and C#).

NOTE: To access the AVEVA Batch Management ActiveX control, you must install the appropriate batch run-time client software and enable any appropriate licensing.

For specific details on installing ActiveX controls within that environment, refer to the appropriate COM-based environment documentation.

The following figure shows an example AVEVA Batch Management ActiveX dialog box.

AVEVA Batch Management Control Functional Areas

OcxBatch breaks the AVEVA Batch Management control operations down into various functional areas. The control method and event naming conventions reflect these functional areas. Most likely, there is interest in only a few functional areas of the AVEVA Batch Management control, and therefore the application only needs to use and support a small subset of the methods and events that are provided.
