Add an ActiveX Object
- Last UpdatedJul 13, 2023
You can incorporate ActiveX objects into your project. This means you can use components that have been developed independently of Plant SCADA.
The ActiveX tool can be used to insert ActiveX objects in graphics pages. After you have selected and positioned an ActiveX object, it can be moved, re-sized, re-shaped, brought to the front etc., and its properties can be edited, just like any other object.
ActiveX Object Properties
The two properties tabs common to ActiveX objects are the Tag Association and Visibility tabs which appear vertically on the Appearance tab. The content and number of other tabs depends on the individual design of each ActiveX object. This is determined by the amount of flexibility and support its creator has included.
For details on configuring these additional tabs, refer to the documentation provided with the ActiveX object.
Note: The Insert an ActiveX Control windows may include the Pelco™ Viewer Camera Control. This ActiveX control has been deprecated and is no longer part of the Plant SCADA installation. If you have upgraded your computer from a previous version with this control installed, it will continue to function. However, it is recommended that you communicate with Pelco cameras using a different method.
