Expected Methods Implemented in ActiveX Control

In order for the Agentry Client to interface with an ActiveX control, it is a requirement of that control that it implements certain methods with the proper prototypes. Following is a description of each of these methods, their prototypes, and when the method is called by the Agentry Client at run time.

It is important that each of these methods is implemented, even those that are provided for functionality not currently implemented. Those methods not expected to be used should include at least a stub implementation within the ActiveX control.

Currently the Agentry Client can directly integrate with ActiveX controls built using C++ and Visual Basic. Included in the following sections are two lists of method prototypes for each of the expected methods. The first is for C++ implementations, and second is for Visual Basic.

Note: See the section at the end of this technical bulletin on integrating ActiveX controls built on .NET.
