Client Objects and Programs

You can use the following types of client objects and programs with your DataBlade module applications:

• ActiveX value objects. An ActiveX value object encapsulates data retrieved from an Informix database server about an opaque type and its support routines for use by a client application. The DataBlade Developers Kit generates code for ActiveX value objects. You can use ActiveX value objects in a Microsoft Visual Basic program.
• Java value objects. A Java value object encapsulates data retrieved from an Informix database server about an opaque type and its support routines for use by a client application. The DataBlade Developers Kit generates code for Java value objects.
• Client visualization tools. A visualization tool enables you to view and manipulate data retrieved by DataBlade modules with third-party applications.
