1. Identities

Library name: ActiveX UserManager 1.7
Library code: UserManager
Library CLSID: E5D2CE13-5FA0-11D2-A666-204C4F4F5020
ProgID: UserManager.UserFlags
Library file name: UserMan.OCX

2. Scripting engines without types (VB Script, JavaScript, JScript, WSH, ASP)

You can create the object using CreateObject function:

Dim UserFlags
Set UserFlags = CreateObject("UserManager.UserFlags")
UserFlags.SomeMethod SomeParameters
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue

You can also use CreateObject method method of Server object (ASP) to put the UserFlags object to page scope or CreateObject method of WScript object in WSH.

You can also put the object to Application or Session scope using <object ...> tag in global.asa

<object runat="server" scope="application" id="UserFlags"
 progid="UserManager.UserFlags">
</object>

Please use ActivexObject object in JScript/JavaScript to create UserFlags object:

var UserFlags;
UserFlags = new ActiveXObject("UserManager.UserFlags");
UserFlags.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

3. VBA (VBA 5, VBA 6, Visual Studio, Word, Excel, MS Access, ...)

VBA 5/6: You can reference the library using menu Project -> References -> select 'ActiveX UserManager 1.7' in the listbox (or Project -> References -> Browse -> select UserMan.OCX file).
MSAccess, Word, Excel: Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor, then Tools -> References
Then you can write:

Dim UserFlags As New UserManager.UserFlags
UserFlags.SomeMethod SomeParameters
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue
    ...

Dim UserFlags As UserManager.UserFlags
...
Set UserFlags = New UserManager.UserFlags
UserFlags.SomeMethod SomeParameters
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

You can use CreateObject function also, of course:

Dim UserFlags As UserManager.UserFlags
...
Set UserFlags = CreateObject("UserManager.UserFlags")
UserFlags.SomeMethod SomeParameters
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue
...

4. Visual Studio .NET (ASP.Net, VB.Net, C#, J#)

You can reference the library using menu Project -> Add reference -> COM tab -> select 'ActiveX UserManager 1.7' in the listbox -> click Select. Then you can write (C#, J#):

 //create  a new UserFlags object
 UserManager.UserFlags UserFlags = new UserManager.UserFlagsClass(); 
 UserFlags.set_String("Some text value"); 
 





 String SQL; 
 SQL = "Insert Into Table (BinaryColumn) values (0x" + UserFlags.get_HexString() + ")"; ...

or (VBA)

Dim UserFlags As New UserManager.UserFlags 
UserFlags.SomeMethod(SomeParameters)
UserFlags.SomeProperty = SomeValue

5. T-SQL, MS SQL stored procedures and functions

DECLARE @UserFlags INT, @OLEResult INT 
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OACreate 'UserManager.UserFlags', @UserFlags OUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'Error create component UserFlags'

--Set a property of UserFlags.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OASetProperty @UserFlags, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName set problem'

--Get a value of a property of UserFlags.
EXECUTE @OLEResult = sp_OAGetProperty @UserFlags, 'PropertyName', @SomeSQLValue OUTPUT
IF @OLEResult <> 0 PRINT 'PropertyName get problem'

--Call some method of UserFlags.
EXEC @OLEResult = sp_OAMethod @UserFlags, 'MethodName', 
 @ReturnValue OUTPUT, @parameter1, @parameter2

5. Other programming environments

Please see documentation of your programing environment, work with COM objects (OLE objects, ActiveX objects). UserFlags is a standard COM object, it can work with other environments, such are Delphi or PowerBuilder.
