---------------------------------------------------------------- LED1 VBX Control Copyright 1994 Northeast Data Corp. All Rights Reserved ---------------------------------------------------------------- Release 1.0 March 1994 This document describes the LED1 Custom VBX Control. CONTENTS 1. Product Description 2. Legal Information 3. Installation 4. Usage 5. Ordering Information ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Product Description The LED1 VBX Control is a Microsoft Windows DLL designed and implemented in compliance with Microsoft standards for interfacing with Visual Basic. The control appears to the end user as a LED similar to those used on audio/video equipment such as stereos, tuners, and amplifiers. This particular LED control displays numbers. To the application programmer, the interface to the LED1 is very simple. Simply set the value property to a number and the LED1 control will display it. Since the LED control only displays one digit at a time the range of valid values is 0-9. Being a VBX control, the programmer can add the LED1 Control to the tool palette in Visual Basic. This allows use of the control in Visual Basic forms. Since Visual C++ supports use of VBX controls, the LED1 control can also be used in the Visual C++ environment. Use of the LED1 Control in a finished application requires the LED1 Control DLL (LED1.vbx) to be installed with the application. This is true of all custom controls written for MS Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Legal Information The purchaser of the LED1 Control is allowed to use it and distribute it in applications without paying any royalty, and without printing or displaying a copyright notice for the control. This only includes distribution of the LED1 Control DLL (LED1.VBX). It does not include distribution of documentation that comes with the LED1 Control. The purchaser of the LED1 Control may distribute the control DLL with applications that are networked (multiple users accessing the DLL from a file server) without paying any license fees to Northeast Data Corp. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
