Configure ActiveX controls

The properties that you can configure for a particular ActiveX control are determined by the ActiveX control itself. All properties have a default value.

You must paste an ActiveX control into an InTouch window before you can configure its properties.

• A default control name, such as Calendar1, is generated when you paste the ActiveX control in a window. You reference the control name in scripts. An ActiveX control must be running in an open application window for any script to run against it.

• You can assign the ActiveX control properties to InTouch tags. You must assign each property type to a corresponding InTouch tag type.

ActiveX controls have three standard tabs: Control Name, Properties, and Events.

Use the Events tab to assign scripts to available control events, such as when the user double-clicks the mouse.

Any other tabs and their configurations are unique to the control and depend upon its properties. For example, some controls may require you to configure colors and fonts, while others may not have these properties.
