BenchCel Microplate Handling Workstation R-Series User Guide
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 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.
