After SETUP has been executed successfully, the ActiveX (32 bit) is already installed on system level. It is then available for all container applications. Nevertheless most containers (like Visual Basic or Visual FoxPro) require that you additionally register the ActiveX inside of the container, so it can be used by your application. How to register an ActiveX in a specific container is shown in the manual of the container application.
For Example: In Visual Basic 6.0 you select the menu entry "Project" and then "Components". A dialog box appears, with a list of all available ActiveX's installed on your system. Scroll the list down until "VPEngine ActiveX Control Library" is listed. Click at the line so that it is checked, then click on "Ok". The VPE-ActiveX will be ready for use with Visual Basic.
| NOTE: | Some Containers (like for example Visual FoxPro) do not import the constants (like VFREE, ALIGN_LEFT, etc.) defined in the ActiveX. |
For some Containers we included definition files for import, please check the source code directories.
The constants and their values are listed in this manual - and in the "Control Reference Manual" (which is VPECTRL.HLP) - with the description of each function. Also the C-Header files ("*.H") in the installation subdirectory "C" contain those definitions.
