Integrate easymap into workflows

Remote control of easymap via the COM object model

easymap provides a COM object model (Component Object Model, a model provided by Windows for communication between different applications), which allows you to control (automate) easymap externally. Most of the processes and settings, which you normally make manually via the user interface, can also be triggered or changed automatically "from outside".

If your processes are mostly realized by a standard software (e.g. your CRM or ERP system, your enterprise resource planning system, a BI tool, etc.), you may wish that easymap is also integrated into these processes. For example, you would like to print a monthly map report if certain data in your "system" has changed. Now you can initiate from this software that after a data change easymap automatically opens a certain workbook, updates the data, prints the report and closes again afterwards.

For the integration of easymap into other software, the COM object model is the best choice. It is always interesting if processes are to be initiated and executed automatically and without explicit user intervention.

Another use is in office applications. For example, if you use Microsoft Excel, you may want to adjust an existing workbook after a data change. You can do this automatically from Excel by remotely controlling easymap using the Office programming language VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).

To use the COM object model, you can use any programming language that supports COM (for example, VBS scripts, Office VBA, C#, Visual Basic.NET, C++, Delphi).
