Using VisiconX
This e-book, Using VisiconX, is intended for users who need to access data from relational or non-relational databases. The information in this document describes how to use the VisiconX ActiveX controls. These controls offer access to data in any database. Scripts or customized programs previously required to access data are a thing of the past.
Previously, accessing data meant writing a Microsoft Visual Basic script, which can be tedious and requires knowledge of Visual Basic. The VisiconX controls harness the newest Microsoft technology known as ADO, which stands for ActiveX Data Objects. By using ADO, VisiconX lets you access data easily and quickly.
This e-book assumes you are familiar with either iFIX or CIMPLICITY, both of which support the use of VisiconX objects. It also assumes some familiarity with SQL queries and relational database concepts. Finally, knowledge of the Windows environment and the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Windows is assumed.
NOTE (CIMPLICITY USERS ONLY): CIMPLICITY WebView does not support the use of VisiconX objects.
