.NET Client ActiveX Control Support

The GUI Panels generated as C# functions that target Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) now have the ability to host the ActiveX controls. This feature provides you with the ability to support the same ActiveX GUI controls that you use in your Windows C++ Client (WinC) applications.

Since the VBScript engine cannot be hosted in the .NET runtime, migrate any VBScript code that you currently use to access your ActiveX controls, to use C# source. Currently, the ActiveX controls imported through the CA Plex COM import feature are not supported.

The following documentation deliverables were updated for this feature:
