Integrating Object Graphics Using VB [obsolete] [obsolete]

Obsolete IDL Features: The IDLDrawWidget ActiveX Control

This functionality is obsolete. It should not be used in new IDL code.

Integrating Object Graphics Using VB

Most of the examples covered to this point have used IDL's direct graphics sub-system to demonstrate using the IDLDrawWidget control. The IDLDrawWidget can also use IDL's object graphics sub-system by changing the IDLDrawWidget.GraphicsLevel property as demonstrated with the VBObjGraph example in the following figure. This example illustrates the following concepts:

Setting the GraphicsLevel property to create an object graphics window;

Translating a graphics object using VB controls.

Using IDLDrawWidget auto-events.
