Setting up tools in the ActiveX toolbox
Use the ActiveX toolbox to set up tools for the ActiveX objects you use frequently.
By default, the ActiveX toolbox contains some of the Microsoft Forms 2.0 ActiveX
controls that are installed with VBA, and the FactoryTalk View SE Signature Button.
For information about adding objects to the toolbox, see the FactoryTalk View Site
Edition Help.
Deploying ActiveX components automatically at run time
FactoryTalk View SE clients can automatically install the correct versions of ActiveX
controls used in graphic displays.
To deploy ActiveX controls automatically, you need to create .cab files for the ActiveX
controls, and then put the .cab files in the same folder where you installed FactoryTalk
View SE.
To do this, run the program CABARC.exe, on the computer hosting the HMI server.
CABARC.exe is located in:
 (Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)
..\Users\Public\Public Documents\ RSView Enterprise\SE\ActiveX Control Setup
 (Windows XP , or Windows Server 2003) ..\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Shared Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\ActiveX Control Setup
For information about creating .cab files, see the text file CreatingCabFiles.txt in the
ActiveX Control Setup folder. The text file contains examples for creating .cab files, and
information about the naming conventions that must be used.
If you open a graphic display, containing ActiveX objects that are not installed, the
graphic display runs, but a shaded rectangle appears in place of the ActiveX object.
