ControlMateOLE

ControlMateOLE provides an application developer with an ActiveX COM automation interface for the ControlMate® device control application. The component will enable an application to instantiate an object which can load, modify and execute ControlMate® Sequence Files. The calls made to the ControlMate® components do not involve the need to load the ControlMate® application into memory. A very powerful and useful feature of the ControlMateOLE component is the ability to dynamically change and set command field values within a sequence file. This allows the external integration of information such as source values (e.g. aspiration volumes) being extrapolated from databases. The ControlMateOLE component can be distributed as a required component within the client application. Any component dependencies will be included as part of the application build.

The ControlMateOLE component has been developed for use with Microsoft Visual Basic versions 5 and 6.

Version 1.3.6
1. Restrictions relating to the visibility of 'HIDDEN' fields have been removed. This now, for example, allows GlobalValues current values field to be accessible via the OLE interface.
2. An advanced method has been added to make visible the interfaces of field values for rules processing.
3. A new module has been added, ControlMateOLE Rules, which will allow a user to automatically process Pause commands within file execution by following a set of rules to abort, continue, load another protocol file or even apply another set of rules.

Version 1.3.5
1. Updated the pre-execute start routine to set all Global Values to their initial default values. Once set the client application can therefore control the start values by simply setting the txtDefault value property prior to calling the ExecuteRun() procedure. This was preventing a client application from setting initial Global Value values prior to an Execute Run() procedure call.
2. Updated the FileOpen() procedure to ensure that the GlobalValueChangeBefore and GlobalValueChangeAfter internal variables are set when a file is first loaded. Previously this was only being done against the base template rather than the actual file being loaded which was preventing ScriptFile commands from changing field values prior to or during an ExecuteRun() procedure call.
