Embed ProcessBook Displays in Other
Containers
In addition to HTML pages, you can use the FactoryTalk Historian
ActiveView Control in other containers capable of supporting ActiveX
controls, such as Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic or VBA forms. The
Control is essentially a container for a Display Document object. The
Control starts the PI ActiveView application, which is used as a local
server for the Display. The user can interact with the display from the
Control's window.
This means, for example, that you can view a dynamic display of PI data
inside an Excel spreadsheet. After you load Excel and FactoryTalk
Historian ActiveView on a PC, the FactoryTalk Historian ActiveView
Control is available to be inserted into Excel. For details, see Embed a
Display in a Spreadsheet (page 57). You would use similar procedures to
embed a Display Document in other containers.
