-
Double Click
When the user double-clicks on the control, the server application is activated.

Manual
The control can be activated programmatically only with the Activate function.
During development, you activate the object in the Window painter.
Usage
In a painter
To specify how the object is activated:
-
Select the desired setting from the Activation drop-down list on the General page of the control's Properties view.
The control can always be activated programmatically, regardless of the Activation setting.
In scripts
The Activation property takes a value of the omActivation enumerated datatype.
This example changes the Activation property type to ActivateOnGetFocus! for the object ole_1:
ole_1.Activation = ActivateOnGetFocus!
