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:
- Click on the OCX tool icon in the Objects Palette:
![]()
- 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.
![]()
- 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.
- Configure and size the object.
