Creating an ActiveX Object Instance

Although an ActiveX object is very different, internally, to a 4GL object or SmartObject, the basic process of selecting and placing an OCX object is similar to the process for a native Progress object. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Click on the OCX tool icon in the Objects Palette:
  2. A dialog box opens. The dialog box lists all ActiveX controls found within reach of your development system. Because AppBuilder has no way of knowing whether you have a licence to use a particular OCX object, you should not assume that any particular object is available for inclusion in your applications.
  3. Select the object you wish to use, and choose OK. Move your mouse cursor over a bare spot in your workspace and click to place the instance.
  4. Configure and size the object.
