ImagXpress can be used as an ATL COM ActiveX control in development environments, like Visual Basic, that accept ActiveX controls. The following discussion assumes that your development environment is Visual Basic.
Creating an Application with Visual Basic and ImagXpress
-
Add the ImagXpress control to a project.
-
Use the ImagXpress control on a form.
-
Write code that controls the ImagXpress properties and methods.
Loading the ImagXpress Control Involves Adding it to a Project
-
Open the project that will use the ImagXpress control. This can be a new or existing project.
-
From the Project menu, choose Components. The Control window appears with a list of available controls.
-
Select the Accusoft control (i.e., ImagXpress). Click the OK button.
Other Environments
The ImagXpress control is supported by a variety of host environments. To use ImagXpress in other environments, consult the development tool's documentation for information on how to use ActiveX controls. As soon as the control is loaded, the following things happen:
-
The control becomes part of the current project.
-
A new tool is added to the Toolbox. This tool is used to draw the ImagXpress control on the form.
The new control can now be used as if it were a standard control. The ImagXpress control has its own set of properties and methods which can be seen by using the Properties and Code windows.
