Besides running other ActiveX controls inside of Arbortext Editor, you can run Arbortext Editor itself in an ActiveX control. The Arbortext Editor ActiveX control is located at Arbortext-path\bin\EditorControl.dll. This control is registered as a COM server whenever the associated version of Arbortext Editor is registered.

Arbortext Editor can run as an embedded ActiveX control inside of another window or dialog box, including a web browser. In this case, the Arbortext Editor menus are made available through a new Menu toolbar button. Also, some menu choices and toolbar buttons are not available in an embedded frame.

Sample Arbortext Editor ActiveX implementations are in the Arbortext-path\samples\activex_editor directory. The XUI directory has a sample XUI dialog box containing an embedded Arbortext Editor ActiveX control. The CSharp directory contains a sample C# implementation. These examples demonstrate how to use the return value of the open method (which is an ACL window id) with the Acl.getWindow AOM method to obtain a Window AOM object. This technique provides the caller with great control over the window and the document living in it.
