Creating Custom Software Interfaces 

 
 

Galil provides programming tools so that users can develop their own custom software interfaces to a Galil 
controller.  These tools include the 

ActiveX Toolkit

 and 

DMCWin.  

 
 

ActiveX Toolkit 

 

Galil's ActiveX Toolkit is useful for the programmer who wants to easily create a custom operator interface to a 
Galil controller. The ActiveX Toolkit includes a collection of ready-made ActiveX COM controls for use with 
Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, LabVIEW and other ActiveX compatible programming tools. The most common 
environment is Visual Basic 6, but Visual Basic.NET, Visual C++, Wonderware, LabVIEW and HPVEE have all 
been tested by Galil to work with the .OCX controls. 
The ActiveX Toolkit can be purchased from Galil at 

http://store.yahoo.com/galilmc/actoolsoffor.html

 
The ActiveX toolkit can save many hours of programming time. Built-in dialog boxes are provided for quick 
parameter setup, selection of color, size, location and text. The toolkit controls are easy to use and provide context 
sensitive help, making it ideal for even the novice programmer.  
 
ActiveX Toolkit Includes:
