You do not need to place an OLE control on a window to manipulate an OLE object in a script. If the object does not need to be visible in your PowerBuilder application, you can create an OLE object independent of a control, connect to the server application, and call functions and set properties for that object. The server application executes the functions and changes the object’s properties, which changes the OLE object.
For some applications, you can specify whether the application is visible. If it is visible, the user can activate the application and manipulate the object using the commands and tools of the server application.
