PROIV Task OCX API

The PROIV Task OCX API is an OCX wrapper around the PROIV Bus API (P4API). The OCX allows you to use the P4API in a language- and tool-independent manner. Programming environments, such as Visual C++, Visual J++, Visual Basic, SmallTalk, etc, permit the use of OCXs and will create a wrapper class for the OCX automatically. This allows the OCX (and hence P4API) to be called from virtually any Windows programming environment. This will also allow PROIV tasks to be executed within Web browsers that support OCX controls.

The PROIV Task OCX API is made up of two classes.

The System class, which allows access at the System Level such as the machine to be used, System User ID and System User Password.
The Session class, which allows access at the Operator Task level and establishes the Operator Identification, Task to Execute, and Parameters input to the Task.

System and Session Class properties and methods are described starting on the next page, followed by sample scripts for Visual C++ applications:
