ActiveX Controls

AcuBench makes it easy to include ActiveX controls in graphical programs designed to run in Microsoft Windows. Once you have installed the control on your system, you can add it to the Screen Component Toolbox, then place it on your screen form just like a standard control.

Note that ActiveX controls that you include in your program must be installed and licensed in accordance with the vendor’s requirements both on your development system and on every system on which the program is deployed. It is up to you to know how to program and distribute the ActiveX controls that you use. Refer to the documentation provided by your ActiveX control supplier.

General information about how to use ActiveX controls in your application can be found in Using ActiveX Controls and COM Objects.

For your convenience, several Microsoft controls have been included with the ACUCOBOL-GT Windows runtime. You can use these controls in your program and redistribute them to your end users as needed. These controls are installed and licensed automatically, and are also found on your product CD in the ms directory. For more information about these controls, see Distributing Applications Containing ActiveX Controls.
