Hi,
Is COM supported in OriginPRO 7.
Can anyone send me some sample codes as to how one can send data from one application to Origin in real time.
I am at present using DDE to send data in Real Time to Origin.But most of them tell me to use COM to do it. Why is it ?.
Thanks,
Deepak Samuel. |

Hi Deepak,
In OriginPro7, COM Client programming was supported in Origin C. User could use Origin as the client application and connect to other server applications (such as MS Excel) by programming in Origin C.
The above COM Client feature is of course also supported in the new version. Note that this feature is supported only in Pro - in both v7 and v7.5
In version 7.5, we also introduced Automation (COM) Server support, where Origin can act as the server application and other client applications (such as MS Excel, VB, VC, LabVIEW, MATLAB...any application that is capable of COM programming) can connec to Origin.
This Automation Server feature is supported in both Origin 7.5 Standard and Origin 7.5 Pro.
Some benefits of using COM over DDE, to connect to Origin server from other client apps are:
1) COM is object oriented
2) COM is more "programmer-friendly" - easier to work with
3) It can be used easily from VB applications
