Properties

IPictureDisp* ControlPicture

Description

Read-only property that the client can use to get an icon to represent the ActiveX control.

This example paints a BenchCel bitmap over a button.

Visual C++ example

/*The CPicture class is imported into your project when the ActiveX is installed*/

CButton button;

//Create a button

CPicture BenchCelPic;

BenchCelPic = m_BenchCel.GetControlPicture();

//Retrieve the picture

button.SetBitmap((HBITMAP)BenchCelPic.GetHandle());

/*Paint the bitmap onto the button*/

Visual Basic example

'Assume that there is a button

'named Command1 on the

'current form. You must set

'the style property of

'Command1 to Graphical

Command1.Picture = BenchCel.ControlPicture

SHORT Speed

Description

Property to specify how fast the BenchCel device should move. 0 = slow, 1 = medium, 2 = fast. This property should not be changed during an operation. Setting this property to an invalid value will have no effect (call will be ignored).

Visual C++ example

//Set the speed to fast

m_BenchCel.speed = 2;

Visual Basic example

'Set the speed to fast

BenchCel.Speed = 2

BOOL Blocking

Description

Specifies whether the ActiveX should block during an execution of a command. If true, commands, such as PickAndPlace, will not return until the action completes or an error occurs. If false, the command will return immediately without waiting for the action to complete and invoke an event to indicate successful completion of the command. Errors will be indicated through one of two means; 1) the return value might not be S_OK (0), in this case, no event will be fired; 2) an error event is fired. When an error occurs, the ActiveX expects a call to Abort, Retry or Ignore. ShowDiagsDialog can be called to allow the user to exercise specific diagnostic/corrective functions, but when the main execution resumes, a call to Abort, Retry or Ignore is necessary to continue the operation.

Visual C++ example

//Set the BenchCel device to block until the command completes

m_BenchCel.Blocking =TRUE;

Visual Basic example

Set the BenchCel device to block until the command completes

m_BenchCel.Blocking =1;
