XPalette Functionality Using Visual Basic

Like VBLoadCT, VBPalette demonstrates how to duplicate IDL tool functionality using a Visual Basic interface. The VBPalette.pro file (located in the examples\docs\ActiveX\VBPalette directory of the IDL installation directory) is a functional duplicate of the XPalette source with the event procedure and IDL widgets replaced with auto-event procedures and VB controls.

This example illustrates the following concepts:

Modifying existing IDL library code for use with the IDLDrawWidget;

Converting an IDL event procedure to the IDLDrawWidget auto-event procedures
