CW Slide Control

[Ollie]

I'm attempting to use the Active X Slide control in Lookout 5.0. I have set the slide control up as an indicator. I have 3 data points that i would like to display. I set up Pointer-1, Pointer-2 and Pointer-3. Pointer-1 is the User Configurable High Level Alarm. Pointer-2 is the User Configurable Low Level Alarm. Pointer-3 is the actual value of the Analog value coming in on from the field. How do I "connect" to the select Pointer to change the values or display the values?

Ollie,

currently there is no way to get to the ActivePointer.value property with Lookout 5's ActiveX container. The Lookout 5 ActiveX container does not allow to browse into property folders to get a dataitem e.g. CWSlider1.properties.ActivePointer.Index or CWSlider1.properties.ActivePointer.Value (CAR ID: 2VK7F6E9)

You might use Microsoft Visual Basic to wrap the CWSlider ActiveX control into a customized control you can use as advanced control in Lookout. Here is a link that might help further: Lookout Version 5.0 for Windows 2000/95/98/ME/NT/XP -- ActiveX Control Development Guide 

Hope this helps
