ActiveX control support

Using the VBScript interfaces for the Graphic module (Graphics Script, Screen Script, Command animation, and ActiveX Events), you can use this syntax to access properties and methods directly from any ActiveX Control object inserted in the screen where the object is configured.

AVEVA Edge will assign a unique name to the object on the screen. You can use the Name property (in the Object Properties dialog) to modify this name.

After inserting an ActiveX Control object on the screen, you can access properties and methods from this object from any VBScript interface associated with this screen. Use the syntax Object_Name.Properties_or_Method_Name. Examples:

//Access the value of the property Day from the CalendarControl1 ActiveX object

CalendarControl1.Day

//Triggers the method AboutBox from the CalendarControl1 ActiveX object

CalendarControl1.AboutBox
