Getting Started in VB

Working with the COM object

1. Install the component on your system by starting its setup program.
2. In the Visual Basic IDE, create a new project or open an existing one.
3. Click on 'Project', then on the 'References' menu
4. Find and select 'WeOnlyDo! COM Secure Shell Client COM Object', and click on 'Ok' to leave the dialog box.
5. Open the code editor and at the top in the (General) section add this code:
   
    
          Dim WithEvents SSH1 As wodSSHCom
    
   
   
6. In Form_Load function initialize the component:
   
    
          Private Sub Form_Load()
            Set SSH1 = New wodSSHCom
          End Sub
    
   
   
7. If you have the licensed version of wodSSH, then after you initialize the component, set its LicenseKey property:
   
    
          Private Sub Form_Load()
            Set SSH1 = New wodSSHCom
            SSH1.LicenseKey = "xxxx....xxxx"
          End Sub
    
   
   
8. To learn how to use notifications (optional) instead of events, please look here.
9. To free up resources when your program ends, destroy the component from the Form_Unload event:
   
    
          Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
            Set SSH1 = Nothing
          End Sub
    
   
   
10. Do not forget to distribute wodSSH.DLL when using the COM object!

Working with the ActiveX control

1. Install the component on your system by starting its setup program.
2. In the Visual Basic IDE, create a new project or open an existing one.
3. Click on 'Project', then on the 'Components' menu
4. Find and select 'WeOnlyDo! COM Secure Shell Client ActiveX Control', and click on 'Ok' to leave the dialog box.
5. Locate the new wodSSH icon on the Toolbox toolbar
6. Do not forget to distribute wodSSH.OCX when using the ActiveX control!
