Programmer's Reference
The OleControl is a subclass of OlePrimitive.
It allows you to insert OCXs and use them in an IBM Smalltalk or VisualAge
application. An OleControl widget contains an OCX and allows
that object to behave like any other CwPrimitive.
With OleControl, you can do the following:
- Create a placeholder in the container's user interface to contain an
OCX
- Set properties and the control function of the contained OCX
- Use the Common Widgets event-handler mechanism to trap and process events
generated by the contained OCX
- Provide hooks that allow the OCX access to specific properties of the
application's user interface components, for example, access to an
application's ambient properties
- Use licensed OCXs within an application
