OLE Automation

OLE Automation provides a mechanism whereby one application can control another. In order to
access a CX-Supervisor points value via OLE Automation, it must be given either OLE Read or OLE
Write access. This can be achieved by checking the appropriate box in the Advanced Point Settings
dialog when the point is created or modified.

Note:

All CX-Supervisor System points are given OLE2 read access by default.

CX-Supervisor exposes the following Runtime functions via OLE2 Automation:

♦

SetValue(stringPointName,Value)

. Enables any point with OLE Read/Write access to be

modified (value may be Boolean, integer, long or string).

♦

GetValue(stringPointName,&Value)

. Enables any point with OLE Read access to be monitored

(value may be Boolean, integer, long or string).

♦

QueryCount()

. Returns the total number of points in the CX-Supervisor database.

♦

QueryId(stringPointName)

, Returns the WORD id of a given point name. The id is an integer in

the range between 1 and the total number of points in the CX-Supervisor database.

♦

QueryOLE(wordID)

. Returns the Read/Write access rights of a point as an integer. 0 represents

no access type; 1 represents Read Only; 2 represents Read/Write; 3 represents an invalid access
type.

♦

QueryType(wordID)

. Returns the points data type as an integer from a given id. 0 represents a

void datatype; 1 represents a digital datatype; 2 represents an integer datatype; 3 represents a real
datatype; 4 represents a text datatype; 5 represents an invalid datatype.

QueryName(wordID)

. Returns the points name string from a given identity. CX-Supervisor provides OLE

Automation helper routines and code examples in the OLE2AUTO subdirectory. Refer to the file
OLE2AUTO.WRI in that subdirectory for more information.
