Working with the COM object

  1. Install the component on your system by starting its setup program.

  2. In the Visual Basic IDE, create new project or open existing one.

  3. Click on 'Project', then on 'References' menu

  4. Find and select 'WeOnlyDo! COM SSHD Server COM Object', and click on 'Ok' to leave the dialog box.

  5. Open code editor, and at the top, in (General) section add this code:

    Dim WithEvents SSH1 As wodSSHDCom


  6. In Form_Load function initialize the component
     
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      Set SSH1 = New wodSSHDCom
    End Sub
     

  7. If you have licensed version of wodSSHServer, then after you initialize the component, set it's LicenseKey property:

     
    Private Sub Form_Load()
      Set SSH1 = New wodSSHDCom
      SSH1.LicenseKey = "xxxx....xxxx"
    End Sub
     

  8. To use notifications (optional) instead of events, please refer here.

  9. To free up the resources when your program ends, destroy the component from Form_Unload


    10.  
    Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
      Set SSH1 = Nothing
    End Sub
