ActiveX Prompt Control

North Point Technology’s ActiveX Prompt Control allows software developers to display highly customizable text messages in any fully compliant ActiveX container.  This control is particularly useful for clients who need to present complex process status information to SCADA/HMI system users, complete with contextually relevant data points.

The messages can be formatted for readability and can contain embedded live process data displays. The color of the text and the control can also be manipulated by linked process data, facilitating use of the control to annunicate alarms or highlight important states or system messages.  Live data within such messages gives the operator a rapid and complete understanding of the situation.

Combination of the control with operator response buttons or entry fields allows control systems to query operators in plain language for decisions and entries without using more cumbersome traditional methods.
