Visual Basic Example:

Dim DADiSP as Object

Dim VBData(1000) as Double

Dim Result as Variant

’’’ Create VB data array

For i = 0 To 1000

VBData(i) = Rnd()

Next i

’’’ Connect to DADiSP

Set DADiSP = CreateObject("dadisp.application")

’’’ Create a 2 Window Worksheet without prompting

Call DADiSP.Execute("newworksheet(2, 0)")

’’’ Put VB array in W1

Call DADiSP.PutData("W1", VBData)

’’’ Label W1

Call DADiSP.Execute("label(W1, 'Data from Visual Basic')")

’’’ get integral of W1

Result = DADiSP.GetData("integ(W1)")

’’’ show it

DADiSP.Visible = 1

Starts DADiSP as an ActiveX Automation server, creates a 2 Window Worksheet and places 1001 random samples from Visual Basic into W1. The Window is labeled and the variant Result is a 1001x1 array containing the integration of the random data..
