Daisy is also available as a family of OCXs or components that can be built into another program.

A typical application would be to put a 'data-mining' window into a program, so that results or data can be mined for any links and correolations.

See the Daisy Web Tools, which use the Daisy NoHelp OCX to add such a window.

The components follows all of the usual rules, with events, methods and properties.

They also come with several examples coded in Visual Basic.

Currently, two components are available :-

• Daisy OCX - The 'Full' component that has most of the features of Daisy 2003.

  This component would tend to be used for applications where you wanted to apply Daisy to say a specialist database and also give the user complete control.

• Daisy NoHelp OCX - A reduced feature 'NoHelp' version of the component without Help, that is simpler to use and install.

  This would be used for applications where a Daisy chart was to be created by the application with the minimum of user interaction.

• Internal OCX - There is also a third component that is used by Daisy Analysis to write their versions of Daisy.
