Embed ActiveX Controls

Web Generation supports embedding ActiveX controls and defining their event management in a similar way that ActiveX controls are currently designed in GUI clients.

When designing OCX controls for Web Generation, the following performance guidelines need to be considered:

• Any statement that Gets or Sets a property or invokes a method on the ActiveX Control requires the runtime to return to the browser.
• Any statement that does a Boolean compare of two OCX GUI Objects or objects returned from Get or Invoke statements requires the runtime to return to the browser.
• Excessive Action Block manipulation of an OCX control causes performance degradation, especially for an Internet application.
