Where:

automation

Required. The name of a previously defined AUTOMATION object variable or pointer to an AUTOMATION object.

property list

Optional. One or more of the object properties.

Flags Affected: NONE

Note the following:

  1. If the CLASS property is not specified, it must be defined in the AUTOMATION declaration.

  2. Additional AUTOMATION object properties are defined in the vendor supplied documentation.

  3. If the optional {window} parameter is not specified, the default window is used.

  4. When running under the PL/B Application Server, a CLASS or CLASSID property beginning with an exclamation mark (!) signifies that the file resides on the client rather than the server.
