Select ActiveX Object

When you select Create»ActiveX, the Select ActiveX Object dialog box appears. From this dialog box, you can select the type of object you want to insert into your user interface. You can create an ActiveX Control or an ActiveX document. You also can create either of these ActiveX objects from an existing file.

Create Control/Create Document

When you select Create Control or Create Document, you can enable the Validate Servers option to show only registered ActiveX objects whose server exists on your machine. When you do not enable the Validate Servers checkbox, the listbox contains all registered ActiveX objects.

The location string indicates the file path of the ActiveX server.

Create from File

When you create an ActiveX object from an existing file, specify the following:

• File Path—The full pathname of the file from which the ActiveX object is created.
• Link To File—Enable this option to create an ActiveX object that is linked to the file instead of an object that embeds the contents of the file.
