Application Object

The Application object represents the iFIX WorkSpace application. It includes the properties and methods that allow you to access and return top-level objects. For example, the ActiveDocument property returns a Document object.

If you run schedules in the background, you need to be aware that there are actually two different Application objects - one for the WorkSpace and one for FixBackgroundServer. The FixBackgroundServer application loads and runs Scheduler documents. It will fire VBA scripts as the WorkSpace does. However, the FixBackgroundServer application does not compete with the single VBA thread of the WorkSpace. For more information on the FixBackgroundServer application, see the "Scheduler" chapter in the Mastering iFIX manual.

The main difference between the WorkSpace Application object and the FixBackgroundServerApplication object is that the FixBackgroundServerApplication object does not provide access to any windowing or display properties since FixBackgroundServer only runs in the background. The properties that are available in FixBackgroundServer are:
