  • medium(+-10%)
  • fine (+-1%)

  • Download the source files and compile a project for ActiveX registration.
  • In your project select the menu "Project->Add To Project->Components and Controls"
  • In "Components and Controls Gallery" box select "Registered ActiveX Controls".
  • From the list of controls select "TunerActiveX Control"
  • Use the MS Visual C++ dialog editor to place a TunerActiveX control on a dialog.
    Cancel the "Visible" option in the "Properties" window
  • Use ClassWizard to add CTunerActiveX member variable
  • Use ClassWizard to add handler function for any event (WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK in the demo project)
  • Initialize the new control in this handler
    void SetParentWndName(CString sName );
    void SetFirstValue(double value);
    void SetShowTuner(BOOL bShow);
    
  • Use Class Wizard to add handler functions for WM_COPYDATA to your dialog's source file
  • Update the selected value in this handler:
    double nValue;
    nValue = *((double*)(pCopyDataStruct->lpData));
    m_Value = nValue;
