Installing the Netronic Components VarChart XGantt and VarChart XNet

It applies for the Netronic just like for all other ActiveX components, that their setup on all client computers needs to be executed on all Rechnern auf einem lokalem Laufwerk in das CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY Verzeichnis durchgeführt werden muss, von wo aus sie genutzt werden sollen.

In the following, CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY indicates the ClassiX® master directory, which is locally on the client. By default, this is c:\ClassiX. This directory must not be mixed up with CX_ROOTDIR, the directory in which ClassiX® has been installed. In a standalone (test-) operation CX_ROOTDIR equals CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY.

Installing VarChart XGantt and XNet in Version 2.9

  1. Please put the VARCHART ActiveX Control XGantt or XNet 2.9 setup CD into the drive. With one of the CDs, it is possible to install both controls!
    Inscription inside the booklet: "VARCHART ActiveX Control XGantt 2.9; Lic. No.: BX0190" or ".... XNet 2.9; Lic. No.: NX0191". Inscription inside the CDs: "ActiveX Controls 2.9  12. Nov. 2002"
    If the setup program does not start automatically, this can be done by double-clicking on setup.exe in the root.
  2. Select the setup language "Deutsch":

  3. Confirm next screen. After this, in:

    please activate the control box (accept licensing conditions). And continue.
  4. Confirm again. Now in:

    select target path via "Scroll...". This should be CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY\Constrols\Varchart by default. It is important, that CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY is a local directory and no mapped drive under a server.
    After the selection, please confirm selection dialog and continune.
  5. Now, please select control language Deutsch:

  6. Finally, please select the components:


    ClassiX® only requires the actual controls (1st and 3rd line). Samples are mainly VisualBasic examples. XTree is not licensed by ClassiX® and could only be used as a 30day demo. Same with the WebViewer.
    Do not select "Graphics export ..." under any circumstance!: This selection makes a password entry essential, which now makes a successful setup completion impossible. (And needs to be repeated.)
    End this dialog and four following dialogs with "Continue"/"Finish".
  7. The setup is executed (status bar when copying data)
  8. In some systems, there is a setup information by the Acrobat PDF Reader 4.0x after the completion. This can be ignored. (Just confirm.)

These installed controls currently have only one computer- (runtime-) or demo license. Program via controls requires licensing at the end:

Licensing by VarChart XGantt and XNet from Version 2.8

Just working without any control setting modifications as they are integrated in ClassiX® (also for the ClassiX® user), requires no separate (technical) licensing. Simple work place setups are frequently reported to Netronic via ClassiX® and licensed only via amount.
The control settings are saved in an Ini- and in a Ifd file. By default, they have the same name as the calling module (e.g. gantitdm.ini and gantitdm.ifd). They need to be treated like a part of the AppsWh - and get administered and delivered with it.

Attention!
Only Ini- (and Ifd-) files that have been created/modified with a superuser- or developer license (see below), can be used as a full version on a work place computer!

A modification of workplace computer settings during the work in ClassiX® is possible; these modifications are not saved though. Printing is also possible with these changes, (e.g. with a modified cutline.)
It is also possible to create a new Ini-/Ifd file on a workplace computer. With this, the control runs via demo version. (Nag message boxes, inscription "Demo" in display and printout, alerts when calling "View...")


Other than in version 2.7 or 2.5, modifying control settings always require a superuser license or a developer license. The superuser license can be gained as follows:

  1. In the control attributes on page "general"

    click on button "licensing".


  2. Copy hardware ID number (blue) and mail to Netronic.
  3. Netronic sends a mail with attachment back. There is an attachment with one or two *.lic files vcgantt.lic or. vcnet.lic. They need to be copied into the equivalent control setup directories. There, they replace demo licenses that have been created during installation.
  4. If working with a runtime- (generated on another superuser-/developer system) or with a demo Ini before, the Ini file auf der Seite "Allgemeines" der Einstellungen einmal zu ändern ("Durchsuchen"-Knopf oder direkte Eingabe, anschließend "Übernehmen"), und anschließend auf die vorige Ini-Datei wieder zurückzustellen.
    Durch dieses Prozedere werden die Lizenzinformationen in die Ini-Datei geschrieben. Damit ist die Ini-Datei ab sofort auf die    sem Rechner änderbar.

 

Installing VarChart XGantt (Version 2.7) including Histogram

  1. The file varchart_xgantt27.exe is under the ClassiX® installation directory (CX_ROOTDIR\Inst), in directory VarChart. It has to be executed.
  2. After selecting the language ("Deutsch") in the first menu (for the actual setup) and after confirming with the next button "Continue", the setup path must be selected in the third dialog:



    Here, the directory CX_LOCAL_DIRECTORY\Constrols\XGantt will be selected via "Scroll..."
    After this, please select "Continue" again.
    Important!
    The indicated drive always has to be a local one - integrated into a client computer.
     
  3. The question about creating a backup can also be answered with a simple "Continue":



  4. The language has to be switched to "Deutsch". Confirm with "Continue":



  5. Confirming again with "Continue" starts the setup.
    Now it can be seen, how data gets copied to the local hard drive.
  6. The copy process is completed by clicking "Complete".
  7. Now enter the registration information:



    In case you have no registration information from ClassiX®, please confirm "Trial Installation". If you have such a client license, the control still runs as a full version. In case you have a registration number including code, please click "Registered User".



    The specification Name should conform with the local user.
    As the Company, please enter exactly "ClassiX Software GmbH".

    For RegNo and Code, please enter the numbers from your ClassiX® account manager. You have entered the correct (valid) values, if the "OK" button is active only and exactly then (black writing).
    Please also make sure, that the registration number and code are only valid for the according version (here: 2.7) and cannot be adopted.
    The additional XGantt feature 'Histogramm', will also be installed automatically, as long as the required additional license has been purchased.
  8. With this, the setup is completed. Systems such as 95,98 or ME might need to be restarted now, before the XGantt control is usable in ClassiX®.

 

Installing VarChart XNet (Version 2.5)


The XNet setup is equivalent to the XGantt setup:
