Creating Interactive Output for ActiveX

Configuring Drill-Down Links with ACTIVEX

ActiveX parameters provide a way to implement drill-down functionality and to configure interactive features. The purpose and syntax of these parameters are defined in Parameter Reference for Java and ActiveX.

In the ODS HTML statement, ActiveX parameters are specified with the PARAMETERS= option, as described in Specifying Parameters and Attributes for Java and ActiveX.

The SAS/GRAPH ActiveX Control enables the URL, HTML, and Script drill-down modes for charts and maps. Drill-down functionality is not enabled for contour plots. These drill-down modes are implemented in ActiveX in the same way that they are implemented in Java. For information on implementing these drill-down modes, see Enhancing Web Presentations with Chart Descriptions, Data Tips, and Drill-Down Functionality.

Note: You can convert the Java examples to ActiveX by changing the DEVICE=JAVA graphics option in the GOPTIONS statement to DEVICE=ACTIVEX. [cautionend]

The following table lists the procedures and statements that generate output that can be used in ActiveX presentations with drill-down functionality.
