Discover ActiveX Automation for your labeling software
For example, you can d efine and create the reference using the
code below:
Dim MyApp As Lppx2.Application
Set MyApp = CreateObject(”Lppx2.Application”)
The variable reference creating an early bind increases the
performance but must only contain one reference.
This function returns a reference to an ActiveX object from a file.
Syntax GetObject([pathname],[server name])
The syntax of the GetObject function includes the following
arguments:
Item Description
pathname Optional. V ariable of Variant
type (String). Complete path-
name with the name of the
file containing the object to
get. If you don’t define the
pathname, you have to define
the server name.
servername Optional. V ariable of Variant
type (String). Name of the
application that gives the
object.
Note
Use the GetObject function to access an ActiveX object from a
file and to assign this object, an object variable. Use the Set
instruction to assign the object that is returned by the GetOb-
ject functionattheobjectvariable(seebelow).
Below are several examples showing the variations of the
GetObject syntax.
Dim MyDoc As Object
Set MyDoc = GetObject(”c:\ProgramFile\document.lab”)
When this code is executed, the application associated with the
pathname argument is launched and the object included in the
file is activated.
Note
In the case where the server automation is already loaded in
the system memory, the ActiveX mechanism selects it, then the
document is activated.
