Summary:
I couldn't find any documents or on-line helps for some of ActiveX controls shipped with CitectSCADA. Can I still use them and how can I find out what their interfaces are?
 

Solution:
CitectSCADA is shipped with a number of ActiveX controls that are used in the Example project and CSV based templates. Components CiRecipe.ocx and CiMeterX.ocx are well documented and their on-line helps are available and located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Citect folder. For those controls listed below, they are shipped with CitectSCADA v5.50 onward and there are no documents available as they are designed for CSV based templates and for internal use only.

ciTextBox.ocx
- CiText.ComboBox
- CiText.TextBox

ciTreeView.ocx
- CiTreeView.Splitter
- CiTreeView.Tree

ItemList.ocx
- CiListBox.ItemListBox

MenuBar.ocx
- CiMenuBar.ctMenuBar

MsgBox.ocx
-MsgBoxEx.Message


However, if you still wish to use them, the best way find out what their interfaces are is to use Object Browser (available in VB6 or Excel or Access). You could find out how they are used in CSV_Include project. For example, CiText.ComboBox used in Cicode functions CSV_Alarms_AdvFilterConfig in CSV_Alarms.ci and _CSV_MenuConfig_DspEditItem in CSV_MenuConfig.ci.
