ActiveX Objects

ProModel’s ActiveX Automation capability allows you to externally create, view, and edit model elements such as locations, entities, and variables. Using Visual Basic (or any other ActiveX-enabled language), you can add capabilities to ProModel including:

Customized user interface with table inputs
Custom-designed parameter screens
Automatic model creation from external data sources (e.g., Excel spreadsheets, databases, or ASCII text files)
Software execution from another application

You can also use ProModel’s ActiveX capability to access any of the following actions and tables (any table not mentioned in the following list is not currently ActiveX enabled).

More information on ActiveX Automation can be found in the ActiveX User Guide, which is located in the documentation folder within the ProModel directory.
