The OLE Container control allows embedding of any OLE-2 compliant document within an Exaquantum/Explorer Document. It allows in-place activation for edit purposes both in Design mode and Run mode, depending on the setting of the DoVerbs property. When not active, the Windows operating system will terminate the application after a fixed length of time. After this time, any further asynchronous actions such as live data updates will cease.
The OLE Container properties supported are:
BackColor, Bottom, ColorType, CursorPointer, DoVerbs, Enable, FlexHorizontal, FlexVertical, Height, Layer, Left, OLEProperties, Right, Tag, Top, Visible, Width.
The events supported are:
EventClick, EventDblClick, EventDragDrop, EventDragOver, EventInitialise, EventMouseDown, EventMouseMove, EventMouseUp, EventPumpData.
Caution
The engineering or configuration of an Excel spreadsheet inside the OLE Container control is not recommended, this is due to the nature of the OLE implementation.
After deactivation of the embedded Excel worksheet, the Excel session will be closed at an arbitrary time. This means that the Exaquantum data cannot be displayed inside the embedded object.
The following error will occur - "Failed to launch Server Application".
Note: Excel spreadsheets should be engineered using Excel and can be viewed in Exaquantum/Explorer using the Yokogawa Excel Viewer control.
