Review: Introduction to Automation 51

1.Define Automation. 51

2.What actually happens when one program uses Automation to drive another program? 51

3.What allows Visio to be a controller and a server at the same time? 51

4.What function does a digital signature provide? 51

1.Automation allows one program to incorporate the functionality of another by using objects exposed by the other program. 51

2.The server application returns a handle to an object. The controller application can use this handle to ask the server application to do things with this object. 51

3.Because Visio has embedded VBA it can be used as a controller. Because it exposes its object model it can be used as a server. 51

4.Using digital certificates, a developer can digitally sign a project and be identified as a trusted source. 51
