ActiveX Events
IWS is an ActiveX container, supporting ActiveX controls, generally inserted on a given graphical
screen. With IWS Version 6.1, there is a VBScript interface to ActiveX Events so that an ActiveX object
event can trigger a VBScript code segment.
The steps to accessing the VBScript ActiveX Event interface are as follows:
1. Select the ActiveX object on the Screen currently opened in the IWS workspace. Right
click on the object to open its Object Properties dialog box. If you need to insert an
ActiveX object, select the ActiveX Control icon from the Mode toolbar and then right click
on the object
In the lower right corner of the ActiveX
Object Properties dialog box will be a
Configuration button. Click this to open up
the Configuration options dialog box.
2. Click on the Events tab (as
shown at the right).
3. Click on the … button in the
Script Column for the event you
want to write VBScript for.
This is the scripting interface for ActiveX Events. Be sure
VBScript language is selected. You can now insert code that
will execute when the selected ActiveX Event is triggered.
Within the ActiveX Event interface, you enter VBScript
variables and executable statements subject to the following
conditions:
• Any variable declared in this interface will only have a
local scope.
• You cannot implement procedures (i.e. Subroutines or
Functions) within this interface.
