OLE Automation Sample SUMMARY ======= The SPoly sample draws polygons. The only way to make SPoly draw a polygon is to use its programmability interface. One OLE automation object is exposed by Spoly: spoly.application. The object spoly.application is associated with SPoly's main application window. It controls drawing polygons and clearing the display. MORE INFORMATION ================ SPoly implements IDispatch for spoly.application. Methods defined on spoly.application ----------------------------------- Name Description Draw Draw the polygon. Reset Delete all points from the polygon. AddPoint(X, Y) Add a point with coordinates (x,y) to the polygon. EnumPoints as VT_ENUM Return a collection of the polygon's points. GetXOrigin as short Get the X origin of the polygon. SetXOrigin(x as short) Set the X origin of the polygon. GetYOrigin as short Get the Y origin of the polygon. SetYOrigin(y as short) Set the Y origin of the polygon. GetWidth as short Get the line width of the polygon. SetWidth(width as short) Set the line width of the polygon. Shortcomings of this sample --------------------------- Many items in this sample should be properties. Instead, they are implemented as methods. Anything that behaves like an attribute of the object should be a property. This is not a good example of how to implement a collection.
