KernelCAD Control
KernelCAD ActiveX control allows to displaying and modifying 3D
models.
See How to create a model.
To use KernelCAD control in an application, follow standard procedure for
using ActiveX controls in your development environment. Patch
Programming Tutorial demonstrates how to it for Microsoft Development
Environments. KernelCAD
controls can also be created dynamically at runtime (See DIView programming
sample for details)
The main property of the control is the path of the model file. This property can be set at design time and changed programmatically
at run time. See Properties and Methods for the full
list. The model path can be an empty string. In which case the display of the
control window will be empty. This option is useful when there is not access to
the file system and the model needs to be constructed dynamically at runtime
See
Programming KernelCAD Control topic about manipulation
of the model and its rendering properties at runtime.
In this version of the software suite there are four versions of the Control.
See Overview of DInsight Software Suite..
The executable file(s) for the control are installed at the root of in the
installation directory,
Refreshing Properties
Sometimes, for example when upgrading the application to new version of
KernelCAD, it is needed to refresh properties of the control which are stored in
the application's executable file. To do that: Open form or dialog where the
control is added in form or resource editor. Make sure its properties are
modified, for example by toggling value of ShowLocalAxes property. Save all.
Undo the modification (by toggling second time). Rebuild the project
