DAViewerControl Class


The DAViewerControl displays a DirectAnimation model in an HTML page. Here is an example of how it is specified: 


<DIV ID=controlDiv>
<OBJECT ID="DAViewer"
        STYLE="position:absolute; left:10; top:10;width:450;height:450"
        CLASSID="CLSID:B6FFC24C-7E13-11D0-9B47-00C04FC2F51D">
</OBJECT>
</DIV>

AddBehaviorToRun

DAViewerControl Class

Adds DABehavior objects that are not a part of the model. When the system starts the model, it retrieves these additional behaviors and runs them with the same start time as the behaviors included in the model.

viewObj.AddBehaviorToRun(
  bvr
  )

Parameters
bvr
The DABehavior object to add.

As an example, consider the following VBScript sample, which displays the local time as a text value.


<HTML>
<BODY>
<CENTER><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="txtInp" VALUE=""></CENTER>
<OBJECT ID="DAControl" WIDTH=400 HEIGTH=300
CLASSID="CLSID:B6FFC24C-7E13-11D0-9B47-00C04FC2F51D">
</OBJECT>
</HTML>
</BODY>

<OBJECT ID="DAControl" WIDTH=400 HEIGTH=300
CLASSID="CLSID:B6FFC24C-7E13-11D0-9B47-00C04FC2F51D">
</OBJECT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
Sub window_onLoad
   Set m = DAControl.MeterLibrary
   Set timeVal = m.Localtime
   Set timeVal = timeVal.AnimateProperty( "txtInp.value", "VBScript", false, .01 )
   DAControl.AddBehaviorToRun( timeVal )
   DAControl.Start
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
