Adding an ActiveX Control to a Screen

In the CygNet Studio application, screens can be viewed in either Edit mode or Run mode, but they can be created only in Edit mode. In Edit mode, you have three possible views; the Layout view, the Script Editor view, or the VBS Mini-Editor view. By default, Edit mode is in Layout view, where you can access TheView of your screen to add objects and edit their properties and settings. See Using TheFrame/TheView in the CygNet Studio section for more information.

Use the procedure listed below to add CygNet FMS ActiveX controls to CygNet Studio.

To Add an FMS ActiveX Control to TheView

1. In CygNet Studio, in Layout view, add a selected FMS ActiveX control to your screen. See Adding Objects to TheView for more information.
1. On the Standard Tools toolbar, click ActiveX and then drag it to the desired location, or click a location, on TheView where you would like it to be located. The Insert OLE Control dialog box will appear.
2. In the Insert OLE Control dialog box list, double-click on a control name to add it to TheView in the selected location.

2. Right-click on an added control to access its Property Sheet. On the property sheet, Normal, Events, and ActiveX pages contain values for the control properties.
3. Configure each property sheet of the control as desired. See Configuring Object Properties in the CygNet Studio section for more information.
1. On the Normal page, properties listed include the object identifier (FormCode or ObjectCode), CygNet properties, and formatting properties.
2. On the Events page, properties listed include all events for the object for which script can be written. Double-click any Event name to access the VBS Mini-Editor dialog box associated with that Event.
3. On the ActiveX page, properties listed include the ActiveX properties and OCXProperties for the control.
   • ActiveX properties are listed in the property sheet.
   • OCX properties are listed in the CygNet FMS Control Properties dialog box. Double-click (OCX Properties) or click ... to access the dialog box.
