Integration Guide
Beyond the forms of a desktop application, TX Text Control ActiveX works in two other settings: as an automation server without a user interface, in scripting engines such as Windows Scripting Host or Internet Information Server, and in applications that scale with the DPI setting of the system. The pages below cover both, with Active Server Pages in VBScript as the main example of server use.

Where to Start
- For server use, read ASP and VBScript and work through its sample programs.
- Keep Server Programming at hand: it lists the members that need a visible surface, such as dialog boxes, and don't work after EnableAutomationServer.
- For a desktop application such as a Visual Basic 6 word processor, read Setting the DPI Awareness.
