Getting started in VB


Working with the COM object

In order to insert wodWebServer COM object in your project, follow these steps:

1. Install the component on your system by starting its setup program.

2. In the Visual Basic IDE, create new project or open existing one.

3. Click on 'Project', then on 'References' menu

4. Find and select 'WeOnlyDo! COM WebServer Component', and click on 'Ok' to leave the dialog box.

5. Open code editor, and at the top, in (General) section add this code:
 
Dim WithEvents Web1 As wodWebServerCom
 

6. In Form_Load function initialize the component
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Set Web1 = New wodWebServerCom
End Sub
 

7. If you have licensed version of wodWebServer, then after you initialize the component, set it's LicenseKey property:
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 Set Web1 = New wodWebServerCom
 Web1.LicenseKey = "xxxx....xxxx"
End Sub
 

8. To use notifications (optional) instead of events, please refer here.

9. To free up the resources when your program ends, destroy the component from Form_Unload
 
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
 Set Web1 = Nothing
End Sub
 

10. Do not forget to distribute wodWebD.DLL when using COM object!
