Weibull++ 7 DE (Developer Edition)

The Calculation/Plotting OCX

One method to access ReliaSoft's Weibull++ engines is via the Calculation/Plotting OCX. This is an ActiveX control that allows software developers to embed Weibull++ calculation and plotting engines in applications that they create.

The OCX serves as a link between Weibull++ 7 and the development environment. The Calculation/Plotting OCX contains two controls that can be used by the developer in creating other applications, specifically:

RSWMathAPI provides access to Weibull++ math functions, through 24 properties, 1 event and 11 methods.

RSPlotAPI provides access to Weibull++ plotting interface, through 27 properties, 3 events and 13 methods, as well as 3 objects with a total of 187 properties.

ReliaSoft's SimuMatic, a free reliability analysis software tool available for download on weibull.com, is an example of a custom application created using the Calculation/Plotting OCX from Weibull++ DE.

The Weibull++ DE software package includes multiple examples that show most aspects of implementation in applications created using Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET and C# and applications created using VBA (e.g. in Microsoft Excel or Access). Implementation examples for the Calculation/Plotting OCX include:
