MintMT ActiveX Control 3-1

3 MintMT ActiveX Control

3.1 What is an ActiveX control?

ActiveX controls, formerly known as OLE controls or OCX controls, are components (or objects) that can

be inserted into an application to reuse packaged functionality. For example, the ActiveX controls that are

included with MintMT controllers allow PC applications to communicate with controllers to allow complete

machine control from a PC.

A key advantage of ActiveX controls is that they can be used in applications written in many programming

languages, including development environments such as:

 Microsoft Visual C++

 Microsoft Visual Basic

 Borland Delphi

 National Instruments LabView

Any development environment that supports ActiveX controls can use the MintMT ActiveX control making

it a very versatile interface to the controller.

3.2 Installing the PC developer libraries

From the Baldor Motion Toolkit CD install the PC Developer Libraries from the MintMT section. This will

install the MintMT ActiveX control along with various header files and examples under different

development environments.

Note: WorkBench v5 uses the MintMT ActiveX control. If you have installed a copy of WorkBench v5

then there will already be a copy of the ActiveX control installed.

The MintMT installation folder includes a number of sub folders:

 Apps MintMT firmware for all controllers

 Bin Any executable utilities

 Docs Documentation on building PC based applications that use the MintMT ActiveX control.

 Example A selection of example applications under a variety of development environments

 Include All header files required for building PC based applications.

The ActiveX control itself will be installed into the Windows system directory.
