Description
An ActiveX object in dBASE Plus is a place holder for an ActiveX control, not an actual ActiveX control.
To include an ActiveX control in a form, create an ActiveX object on the form. Set the classId property to the component’s ID string.Once the classId is set, the component inherits all the published properties, events, and methods of the ActiveX control, which are accessible through the nativeObject property. The object can be used just like a native dBASE Plus component.
