After you have installed the control on your PC, you may use it in any application that can use ActiveX controls. For applications that are not listed here, search your application's help file for information on how to use ActiveX controls.

In Visual Basic, choose Project - Components from the menu. Select the "hcs12(u) ActiveX Control….". Then choose View - Toolbox. The control should appear in the toolbox for you to add to your project.

In a form, select the "OLE Container" from the standard toolbox. After the "Insert Object" dialog box opens, select an ActiveX Control that begins with "hcs12(u) ActiveX Control….".

From the menu, choose Component - Import ActiveX Control. Select the control beginning with "hcs12(u) ActiveX Control…." you need from the list. Choose the "Install" button and confirm all pop-up messages by choosing OK. In Delphi and C++ Builder you will be prompted to install into a package, choose an existing package or create a new one and then the package will be installed into your project.
